*Borrowed* :)

We are doing some housecleaning, and finding some interesting...and not so interesting stuff. The person above you will post something they've found, and you will tell them to toss it or keep it (feel free to tell them why if you wish). Then you will post what you've found.

Here goes...

I found 5 Kenny Rogers CDs.

    download the songs onto your computer and then toss :)! if he's someone you really like, you might consider keeping...but if its just someone you decently like...i'd toss if you have lots of cd's and need to clear some space.

    Keep. And get out there and play. It's a good calorie burner.

    Left over lasagna noodles, sooo toss them...

    My husband (JK)...how about an ice cream maker that has never been used in 10 years.

    Xephyr Posts: 26 Member
    Keep the icecream maker ---for the kids It keeps their hands busy and they stay focused 'cause it is "Ice Cream!!"
    (I have one of those --my normally distractable boys stayed focused)
    Then you can :-) Keep the husband! Is something to keep you entertained/occupied.

    Old Pirouette cookies jar, with probably stale cookies...

    Pitch them big clothes, give 'em to Goodwill. You won't need them anymore.

    I don't know if it'll bolt up to anything else but being a 'man' I'd say keep it. That's why we have garages...:happy:



    Many (oh so many) computer 'floppy disc' PC games in boxes with manuals. Keep or Toss?
  • Behavior_Modification

    Toss the floppies. Are you ever going to use them? Is anyone going to be able to use them or are they obsolete? Do they even make computers anymore that can take floppies?

    Never ever toss any Elton John!!! (KEEP) Put them in your shrine to him. :smile: What?! everyone has one right??


    Lunch boxes from every year my son carried one from preschool until about the seventh grade, oh and his backpacks too.

    Behavior_Modification Posts: 24,482 Member
    Wow, those are a definite toss! Unless they are collector's items. Some older lunchboxes are.

    Toss.

    Found a stash of Concert Teeshirts that I don't fit into any longer (AC/DC, Sammy Hagar, Van Halen, Lynyrd Skynyrd, ZZ Top and many more, from as far back as 35 yrs ago.)

    Toss or Keep?

    Ebay,,, which is a form of toss.

    10 years worth of "Cycle World" motorcycle magazines.
  • Behavior_Modification
    Behavior_Modification Posts: 24,482 Member
    I'd post those on Craig's List. A little too heavy to ship, so ebay is out. Maybe someone local would be interested in them for a fair price.

    Brand new lotion/shower gel set that I don't really care for the scent of. (it was a gift)

    Form of tossing the lotion/gel- regift it! or good will or something :) but if you're not using it, toss it.

    I'd say keep. Sing to your kids in the future when they won't shut up. I have a little brother who's 10 yrs younger and when he'd cry unstoppably, I'd sing and that would help. (That of course was years ago when I still had a nice singing voice). But I'll sing to my kids one day too.

    Mixed Cassette Tapes that I made many years ago.

    Keep as a convo piece. "Ya', I was making $4.25 an hour at the time, and this cost $800, and the usage was $1.oo a minute!". "Wow - you were really dumb, weren't you Grampa?".

    Keep. Buy cord. Repair and use.


    Big *kitten* regular (not flatpanel) TV, still works but it's taking up way too much room in the basement.

    I might need a wheelbarrow for it (anyone tossing one)

    Sell it (toss) to some college kid or something

    Toss the hedge trimmer, or keep it for a hallowe'en costume .

    Bay City Roller albums :noway:
  • pressica
    pressica Posts: 361
    I would probably keep them. I love Bay City Rollers.

    I found my nite-brite toy from when I was little. T or K?

    P.S. This game is awesome for someone like me that is a little bit OCD. I love to decide what to toss or keep. I am a huge regifter too. Thanks Brenda Lee.

    Nite-Brite? I'd keep it exp. if you have the original box and instructions. :smile:

    I have over 50 ties from the present day to about 20 years ago, are they coming back in style or not?
