Haha, well we’ve cut down before (used to be worse) from a mix of computing and audio cables… Probably had 4+ of these size boxes worth…
Hey Gang! 👋🏻
Haha. This is one of those things in like I can back 100%.
Honestly, once you do it, you’ll never go back.
I was chatting the other night about things that you buy and actually get a lot of use out of. I have these small folding tables that have literally served as dinner tables/laptop tables in front of the idiot box for years. (I’m actually using one right now.)
I try my best not to buy crap, but Kmart does suck me in occasionally. I love how their giant ice cube trays are so cheap (MM I’m looking at you for charging $15 when they’re near identical and $1.75 at the big K.)
That said, I bought these chip clips (from Kmart). Yes, exactly that. Four in a pack. Two shaped like corn chips and the other two shaped like crinkle cut chips and I love them. These silly clips bring me such joy, being able to clip a plastic corn chip to a Doritos pack.
In saying that, does anyone else keep their chips in the fridge after they’ve opened them? I swear by it. When I started doing it years ago it was a complete game changer when it came to chips going stale.
Anyway, LOL, whoever said money can’t buy happiness. For that dose, $1.75. Hahahaha.
Oops, looks like they’re on clearance. I think I better get a few more.
Oh, I’ve been hanging to watch this!
LOL, somehow this feels so familiar.
I’m actually going to be ruthless with our cables… (A few unused ones, too!)
Just dropped the computer stuff to recycling, but weirdly feel even more guilty. Even though it was old (tower and laptop) they looked kind of brand new compared to the stuff that was being thrown out.
But… I put my adult pants on. Maybe this is one of the reasons I am so bad at throwing stuff out.
So Day 5 of the NY…
The space rearrangement is working really well. It is definitely is a mood booster and I somehow have started a gallery wall which I am even more excited about. Three pieces up and I can probably accommodate another 4-7 frames, depending on size and arrangement. It makes me actually want to be in the space, even if it is the dining area. (Using the dining table as a partial bar top may be also a little more enticing, haha.)
No complaints using Linux Shred. Not sure why. Last drive currently being nuked by loading the OS via USB. So far, so good. That means (as sad as it is) tower be gone tomorrow! I am also relieving myself of my giant Philips iron with its massive water reservoir that never worked quite right (it works perfectly fine, but how it steams is just odd to me). Why I hung onto it so long, I don’t know. Back to a regular sized iron (a Tefal was obtained today).
If only offloading/spring cleaning had always felt this good! Still got a bit to go, but I feel… positive.
Thinking of the birds today, I love seeing the crested pigeon (here dubbed the sprouts pigeon in this household) in the park. They just kind of look rebellious, LOL.
But not the cables… 😜
