Every time we have this conversation I go looking for things to get rid of.
Me too.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Would it be uncouth of me to donate Hubby's old pants to the food & care coalition if they're a bit ragged on the hems? Or have small, ancient stains? These are good sturdy shirts and pants, and the thrift store would just throw them out.
edit: I wish I'd thought of the shelter when I got rid of his coats.

I successfully recycled electronics this morning! I need to box up my old TiVo so I can take it in next time it's reasonably convenient.
What I've been trying to do is focus on small areas and declutter during commercial breaks for TV and period breaks during hockey, and trying to be ruthless. Ongoing, but low effort.
I do need to dig deeper into closets and under my bed.

Our wings are not tired.
The AIDS shelter took most of Steve's clothes. (they also took his drugs for appropriate use, which I can say since it was almost 30 years ago) His fancy duds like tuxedos and suits went to a local theater and they were thrilled. He had 3 tuxedos, weirdo.
Most of my stuff that needs sorting and selling/tossing/donating is in storage. Out of sight. Bad plan really, but there it is.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Back home now. Just ordered pizza.

I just did a clothing pass on the right side of my closet while watching the first episode of Jane the Virgin. Now I have another bag to donate.

I had to buy groceries today, and due to some lapse of common sense I went to the new mega-Kroger that just opened a few days ago. Gridlock front to back, people standing around gawking and visiting with friends while blocking intersections. Luckily they announced some free gift giveaway on one side of the store when I was almost done and I managed to break away toward the checkout lines in the opposite direction.
Bonus: Got Little Drummer Boy'd while backing my car out.

I fielded a reference question at work from someone looking for the sheet music for Little Drummer Boy abut 10 days ago. Does that count?

Connie, I think a shelter would take them and be glad for them. Sturdy clothes are good, never mind a few flaws.
