However, there are exceptions for specialty items like many of his car tools. If you haven’t used it in 6 months and don’t see yourself using it in the next 6 months, toss it.
When we clean I force him to use the 6 month rule.
#SPRING CLEANING JOKES WINDOWS#
We have a boxed copy of Windows 3.1 for the same reason. When we started dating 7 years ago he still had intel 486 processors in his apartment because he wanted to hang on to them. I cleared out half of my book collection during that clean sweep and didn’t freak out or anything. And even then I think I’m largely getting over that. The only things I really collect are books. Most of that stuff is either trash or in a pile to try and sell on Craigslist. When we sat down and started organizing and talking we discovered that neither of us really did. We had a whole bunch of stuff from our childhood/wedding that we were keeping because we thought the other one cared about it. I discovered that apparently we are not sentimentilists.
My partner and I cleaned out the spare room last August so my brother could temporarily move in with us. The books are exactly where they belong – in the recycle bin. But at least some little girl isn’t at home right now coloring a scene that has a brontosaurus and a dog playing together. I do have a question though… If the dinos were still around at the time of the flood, and if they were on the ark, how come we have to guess what colors dinosaurs were (“god made the dinosaurs” again)? I’m confused. Apparently, sin is the reason we have carnivorous plants (in, you guessed it, “god made the plants”), and fossils are proof of the great flood. In a moment of morbid curiosity, I actually looked inside the books and read a few tidbits. I couldn’t stomach the idea of some kid taking the books home.
#SPRING CLEANING JOKES FULL#
They were very attractive books, new, and full of stickers with dinosaurs and flowers. I passed up gems like “christian math” texts, but had to grab some sticker books which claimed to be full of science activities – such as coloring a scene which includes a naked man riding a triceratops (in “god made the dinosaurs”), or Noah loading a pair of dinos into the ark (in “god made the animals”). At a yard sale yesterday I came across some teaching materials. Soooo, I’d really like to get rid of some of them, but I don’t really want to push the issue.Īs far as the other question, today I’d like to get rid of young earth creationists. I can’t get the man to throw away an empty box, or packing peanuts. One of us, who shall remain nameless but who is clinically depressed and has PTSD, has a thing about packaging materials. I was ruthless, as far as I was allowed to be. Look for it to appear Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays at 3pm ET. The Afternoon Inquisition (or AI) is a question posed to you, the Skepchick community. What would you get rid of? What should skeptics, as a group, get rid of? Anything worth re-purposing? Are you really going to fix and paint that table or can I PLEASE just curb it?
References to Wakefield as a credible expert? Trash. Just do away with the things we don’t need or want or outgrown. Shame we can’t do the same with the world. And vacuumed Cheerios out of the couch crevices! (Okay, we didn’t vacuum the Cheerios, really, but the rest of the house is so clean I don’t even think about the cereal and rat bodies hiding in my cushions.) Today my husband and I combed through the house and threw out a bunch of shit we didn’t need, didn’t want, or have been pretending to need and want for years but never use.Īnd suddenly I don’t feel like I live in a shit hole of squalor.
