Rubber bands and Chinese jump ropes and bungee cords.

At least ten pair of scissors. Five in bathrooms, two in kitchen, one in a sewing kit, two in utility room, one in a bedroom drawer....okay, that's eleven and I may have miss a couple.

No charger that fits more than one device.

I had to keep a journal for a class once.

I have photo albums. I am old school. Much easier to look at with other people than on a computer.

I don't use sponges.

I have a mailbox made out of steel pipe a half mile down my driveway. The don't deliver to my house. It only get junk mail. My real mail goes to a P.O.Box in town.

My mailbox along with another is encased in a brick structure about 3 feet across and 4 feet high. I want to get a locking mailbox. If the other person does not, then I will seal my mailbox and mount the locking.mailbox on a pole.
