[OT] Something really light

[CanadaSue]

Okay, we're all preppers, be it for 6 months or 6 decades. If we don't do this routinely, we're learning to "use it up, wear it out, make it do or do without"...lol.

So to be kind about it, we tend to um... save things, accumulate them; whatever you want to call it.

So here's the question... what is the dumbest, stupidist, most inappropriate, tacky, ghastly, ugly, uselee thing in your house right now... that you can't bring yourself to get rid of?

And no, spouses don't count!

Here's mine... at some garage sale I bought a wine bottle opener, a basic corkscrew whose handle is a varnished piece of wood. This piece of wood, honest, looks like a piece of poop, nasty, verging on stomach flu type poop. And I don't drink wine & yes I actually have at least 1 other more 'civilized' corkscrew.

Fess up... what's your most embarassing keeper?

Ha, I got that beat by a mile. I bought an old coleman propane stove at a garage sale that is missing its lid, hasdn't been cleaned in the last forty years or so, and the burner ports are rusted shut. It will obviously never work again but I can't bring myself to throw it away. parts is parts.

My husband has about 20 kernels of corn that he picked up off the road in front of his house over 45 years ago. He put them in a small jar with a metal lid. He has moved many times and always kept that jar of corn with him. Unless he plants the corn, he will probably have it as a keepsake until he dies.

The microwave! I'd toss it in a New York minute, but my daughter would have a fit. (HAD to type "fit" on account of I can't spell canniption!!!). - Jesse.
