What can you add to the list?​

Most of what I own, it would take me days to make the list.... many more than 72 things.

My alligator skull collection, the possibly Civil War cannon ball (might actually be dangerous), my fishing rod collection carried here from Florida that will never get used again... the list goes on and on...

Thanks for the post, makes one think.

Oh save the alligator skull collection for sure! And the possibly dangerous Civil War Cannon! If robbers enter your house they'll turn around and never stop running!!
 
I'm good at keeping clear of the small clutter like the things on the list, but if it's something that was originally expensive, well it's just harder to let go.

Yesterday, I was trying to fit some bedding in the armoire where I keep such things and realized about half the space was taken up by a comforter we only used once (way too heavy and hot) and then shelved ten years ago. It's a heavy, 5"thick, gold and maroon brocade monster that cost over $300.

This morning, I tried to fit it in a large garbage bag and it was a real squeeze, but I sent it off to the food pantry/free store and I like to think one of our homeless residents has the most elegant interior to his tent now.
 
I need to get rid of a jar of apricot preserves. It's been in the back of the fridge for several years. Even the "Use By" date has worn off.
I can't use it anyway because it has a layer of green fuzzy stuff on it.
 
Apropos books: Remember the movie "Auntie Mame"? The mother of the nephew's fiancƩe had a line that was positively classic. She said "I love books. They're so decorative!"

BTW, I should get rid of all those plastic utensils, napkins, salt/pepper packets that come with fast food? The drawer would be empty!
