SHe's got those crazy flippin' fingers
What: A fish flipper
Why kept: we were going to use it, but I got my mom one that was too heavy and bulk. She gave this one to the Hubby. We returned the heavy one and gave her this fish flipper back. The Hubby does a fine job of flipping fish without it :-)
Last used: Never
How long kept: Christmas
Destination: To Mom!

Ultra!
What: clorox2
Why am I blogging what appears to be normal garbage? Well, I've had this box since the early part of the century. It was out of sight similar to my liquid clorox2 that I blogged earlier (I'll try to link to that page)
Last used: I shook out the last of the powder today! Woot,
Why kept: in an effort to keep whites white and not get my colors dingy
Destination: the box is in the recycle

Why I oughtta
What: rolling pin ( I thought about running through the house yelling, "why I oughtta" waving the rolling pin above my head but I decided against it.) Also included are expired supplements ('07) and a very hard to wash water bottle
Last used. The rolling pin would get normal use but we couldn't remove the sticky sticker residue. The other stuff. I don't know.... I'll go with '07
Why: The Hubby received a new one for Christmas. The remaining were out of sight.
Destination: AmVets, recycle and Rx disposal respectively (just in case you needed a clue :-). )
Confession: I have new motivation. I can across a few episodes of Hoarders and I couldn't turn away! I'm back on track with decluttering for at least 15 minutes a day. My Farm on facebook is suffering! LOL. Thanks to FlyLady and the timer!!! :)
On another note, I didn't bring home some swag from a volunteer reception I attended. The Hubby did bring home the hand crank operated flashlight. Well, The Boy will enjoy it and The Kid will try to eat it. :)
