Good morning peevers.

I've just been going through some stuff at home, wondering what to do with it.

That got me thinking about stuff we got rid of only to discover somewhere down the line that we could still have done with it.

Ah, the eternal dilemma of what to do with things!

Today's peeve is;

Throwing something out only to have to buy that same thing again later.

Especially if you're married. Spouse throws out stuff once in a while and then I have to go out and buy a replacement. Good peeve.

I'm not a keeper, per se, I get rid of things like clothes, linens. I keep important stuff with sentimental value, but basically a minimalist. I have found myself saying oh I wish I had that now!!

I have so much stuff that I’ve kept, that I have to buy new because I can’t find the original items.

Me too....but it is better to experience that feeling a handful of times than keep all kinds of clutter crap forever.

Ah yes - my super nice computer stereo speakers that I gave away before I went back to the States. Was pouring rain last night and I had a hard time hearing TV on my computer. It reminded me that I still needed to go buy another set.

Seems like we do the same thing, the problem is we can't find it when we need it, so we but another one.
