[BOSSHOG]

2. Like other folks

My junk drawer is filled with valuable items which have outlived their usefulness but I cannot part with them. But I know that one day (soon) I will need that whatchmacallit and it will be there for me.

[debm55]

6. Thank you BOSSHOG.

15. howdi

my meds are in my med bag next to me as i have gone to the er so many times .

[Ocelot II]

5. I can't. There are things in there that I know will come in handy someday.

[debm55]

9. But Ocelot II, most times they won't come in handy. Deep down in your heart you know that. Free yourself of one item.

[Ocelot II]

11. I don't even know what some of those things are. But I know I will need them. Eventually.

[debm55]

16. HAHAHAHAHA. then free yourself of the item/items. You can do it. Try my friend.

[Walleye]

7. Not too long ago, I left the water dripping in the kitchen and filled up the sink, and it also filled up the junk drawer

So now it’s all clean. Not because of my ambition though.

[debm55]

10. Thank you Walleye, well that's one way to solve the problem of Junk Drawer.

[Walleye]

22. "That's one way of doing it" is my favorite motto

[debm55]

23. Thank you Walleye. You are set free from all the stuff in the junk drawer.

[AllaN01Bear]

[BigMin28]

14. An old

Phone jack extension. No telling how old it is. The junk drawer is 40 + years old.

[debm55]

19. As is mine. A little at a time will do it. Congratulations. I am very proud of you, BigMin28

[JMCKUSICK]

20. Leftover plastic utensils accumulated from past

Fast food visits.

[debm55]

21. Congratulations, John. Set yourself free by slowly throwing away the junk.

[debm55]

24. I threw away some Happy Meal toys. I found them in the back of the junk drawer and some packs of ketchup. It feels good

to throw away those items. I'm free!

[BOSSHOG]

25. When does one usually have a use for that thing?

Three days after you throw it away. That’s my philosophy of small hoarding justification. I seldom throw anything away so I can’t prove my hypothesis. I win.

[debm55]

26. Your right BOSSHOG, a junk drawer is a hoarder. paradise. I win. If you havenlt use it yet, You are not going to.

[Raven123]

27. The instruction manual for a long discarded appliance

[debm55]

30. Congratulations, Raven 123. Way to go.

[Lilithschyld]

28. I just did that last weekend!

As usual, I keep all the plastic clips that come on bags of onions and potatoes. I don't know why I keep them, I NEVER use them. They're gone now (until the next time I buy something that has one).

[debm55]

31. Thank you so much, and congratulations, Lillithschyld.

[CrispyQ]

29. Oh Deb, I never throw just one thing away when I do something like this!

I cleaned out my aluminum foil drawer. It also has tins of rubber bands, twist ties, a small box with batteries. I tossed a couple of old chip bag clips that we never used, weird sized foil that we'll never use, the handle to some pot that I probably threw away a long time ago, & many, many packets of pepper flakes from the pizza shop.

BTW, if you like pepper flakes, Flatiron Pepper Co has the best. I'm addicted to this variety. Soup, salad, eggs, pasta, hummus, PIZZA! I put it on everything. I buy 2-3 bottles at a time. It has some serious bite to it!

[CTyankee]

38. A cookie cutter in the shape of a Christmas Tree. Two recipes (hand written) for "Crunch green pea salad" and

"Sausage Striata" and another recipe from a newspaper clipping dated Oct. 3, 2003.

[debm55]

40. Thank you very much CTyankee. for sharing. If it;s in the junk drawer it isn't going to be used.

[CTyankee]

41. I don't even "do" Christmas any more. I stopped getting a tree about 10 years ago.

my poor hubby had to cut down the ends to fit into the holder. He was born into the liberal Protestant Congregational Church but had converted to Judaism years before I even met him. He grew up non-religiously Christian and always had had xmas trees, so he had the experience. I was brought up totally "unchurched."

[debm55]

42. Thank you very much for sharing with me. My husband belong to the Congregational Church also. My family was and still is

strict Catholic.
