What: A bunch of glasses. 7 or 8 classic pint glasses, and another couple of odd leftover drinking glasses.
Origin: A girl's gotta drink!
How long kept: One of the leftovers dated back to my first apartment, 1984. I amassed the pint glasses in the late 80s after moving to NYC, buying many of them at the original Fishs Eddy over on Hudson Street for a buck fifty.
Why kept: They Were Perfectly Good! As previously noted, a girl's gotta drink, and I used them every day. Thus They Might Be Useful; I Might Need Them. And a tiny little bit of Nostalgia. (The good kind, but I'm not exactly sure why glassware would evoke this: Sticky!)
Destination: Housing Works.
Confession: While these glasses are Perfectly Good, in terms of utility, they are looking a little beat up. Nothing truly terrible, but they are showing some wear.
Funny thing, I didn't notice this until I decided that I would prefer some more age appropriate, gender appropriate drinkware. (I woke up one recent day feeling like only a frat boy should be drinking from the pint glasses I've used for a zillion years.)
Should I feel guilt for giving them to Housing Works? Are they good enough for Housing Works to sell? Should I have tried to Freecycle them? What happens to things that aren't good enough for Housing Works to sell?
Aargh.
