Today's Question(s):
Do you have a clear out of things you don't use from time to time or do you need to? I don't have to, but I do clothes once in a while.
Do you ever have trouble getting rid of things for sentimental reasons? Yes, sometimes.
If so, like what, for instance?Stuff that my Mom had, but when the time comes, I won't have a problem getting rid of a bunch of my parents stuff.
Other times, are you happy to donate or toss things you no longer use? Yes
Bonus:
Clearing out or not, what's something, anything, that you:
-Gave to a friend or family member? Some of my Moms jewelry went to my Daughter.
-Donated to charity? Goodwill, clothes, shoes.
-Put back into use after "finding" it among your stuff? Yes, clothes I've put in a bag, then taken it out
-Anything else about stuff?
Have you put something at the curb as trash and had it taken before trash pickup? I'm rural, we don't have that here, although it would probably work, as I've found strange things in my yard that people throw from their cars.
Foodie Questions:
If you want, tell us when or where. Have you eaten at a drive-in restaurant? Just Sonic, once.
We are all going to a drive-in for lunch. What's your order - any food or drinks or treats you want? Cheeseburger, fries, diet coke,( never eat that stuff so....) it'll be fun.
Just for fun:
This week includes "Tom Sawyer Days." As many of you know Tom famously tricked others into painting a fence for him.
Has anyone ever "Tom Sawyered" you into doing something for them? If possible, give us an example: I'm sure it's happened, just can't remember what.

Today's Question(s): Do you have a clear out of things you don't use from time to time or do you need to? dont really but need to
Do you ever have trouble getting rid of things for sentimental reasons? so often
If so, like what, for instance? like what not? Apparently? Touching/holding an item you're thinking of discarding makes it less likely that you'll go through with your plan
Other times, are you happy to donate or toss things you no longer use? yes, very much so - despite my issues with "but I might use it" or "memories" I'm successful at donating items
Bonus: Clearing out or not, what's something, anything, that you:
-Gave to a friend or family member? my polka dotted cropped jacket - to my sister
-Donated to charity? money
-Put back into use after "finding" it among your stuff? money! Love finding a bill in a pocket of an old coat
-Anything else about stuff? ive got too much of it but less than I used to
Have you put something at the curb as trash and had it taken before trash pickup? oh yes
Foodie Questions: If you want, tell us when or where. Have you eaten at a drive-in restaurant? growng up we had eat n park with the stations outside and girls in roller skates bringing trays of food that hooked to the car window
We are all going to a drive-in for lunch. What's your order - any food or drinks or treats you want? classic cheeseburger, fries, and a chocolate egg cream for me
Just for fun: This week includes "Tom Sawyer Days." As many of you know Tom famously tricked others into painting a fence for him.
Has anyone ever "Tom Sawyered" you into doing something for them? If possible, give us an example: yes, purposefully and unintentionally. This is a standard approach to get kids to do stuff. Also, at work, all I have to do is push something askew and my bossy colleague takes over the set up. She has to have everything symmetrical - and her way.
