A counterpoint to the Thing A Day thread, about the random crap we uncover as we unclutter.
Today I found a box of junk from my old roomate's ex-girlfriend. Mostly complete crap - expired credit cards, membership cards, business cards, 15 year old pens - but also a little bit of souvenir pottery & jewelry, photos, and apparently a jar of change (American and foreign) she dumped in when moving in a hurry.
I'm mailing her the photos, the rest has been dealt with (donate, trash, my change jar.)
Found some better than gold old time recipes as I was uncluttering recipes from my own folder and from an old dusty disintegrating recipe box left by a relative.
Last night I found some old pictures of my ex-girlfriend. I'm trying to decide whether getting in touch to mail them to her is worth the potential drama.
I went looking for a spare eye-glass case when I was packing for my hospital stay. The one I normally carry is only big enough for my clip-on sunglasses, and I wanted one that would hold regular and sunglasses at the same time. I was certain I had a bigger case in the crate that holds my extra purse and wallets. Yup, I did. It still had a pair of my ex-husband's glasses in - and we've been split since 2006! How on earth did I miss that when I moved?
4 Christmas cards behind the dining room door :) Maybe I ought to clean behind there slightly more often than once a year!
Welcome back jbeany. How are you doing? Glad your surgery went well.
I found a flipbook from the 1933 Chicago World's Fair last time I moved. Wonder what I'll find this time?
Rosa, does she not want the other stuff? Perhaps you can use the change in the jar to mail it to her.
Vivace: You're not under any obligation to contact her if you think she'll cause you problems. If the photos are irreplaceable, maybe you can send them to a mutual acquaintance with a note to pass them along?
A pair of earrings I thought I lost! Found them in an old ring box in a drawer. Now I hope I'll find the ring soon, too!
@mskris: Yay! I love it when I happen across something I thought was gone forever!
@Irulan: That's a good idea. Now I just have to figure out if we still have any mutual acquaintances. XD
