[QUOTE="Star*, post: 424331, member: 4964"] FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY RAT PACKING DF LOVING LITTLE HEART? I PITY YOU SO MUCH YOU WILL NEVER KNOW. I threw away a box - a WITMANS SAMPLER BOX FROM VALENTINES DAY. It was MY BOX - my chocolates. MINE - see? MINE to keep, throw away - stomp on, set on fire (and in retrospect that's what I should have done, dang it, dang it, dang it!) But what did I do? Like a rookie I threw it IN.THE.TRASH. On top of the trash. IN. PLAIN. SITE. And what did Packrattus AMERICANUS PIGNASTIUS do? YOU BETCHA......he absconded with that box. I mean before I even realized what I had done - I was NOT even 15 steps down the hall - and I realized with deep DARK fear my mistake.......I heard the den door open, the rustling of the trash and then the all familiar cry of the PACKRATTUS AMERICANUS PIGNASTIUS "oh I can use that" and I was so defeated....so angry with myself. It was too late to rush out to the den and try to wrestle him for my box back. I've tried that before. I've gone there and said "OH I just realized a use for that....may I have it back?" and then tucked it at the bottom of the trash." and it angered him so much that there were discussions about his junk on into the night that I care not repeat.

I can tell you what I'd like to do with that 4' section of fence - but I'm afraid I'd put it there - and it would find it's way back to somewhere ELSE.......GET WHAT I AM SAYING? SO if YOUR husband is allowing you to throw stuff out? GO. FOR. IT. When we tried this ? I threw out stuff and at the DUMP - he was putting it back in the van.........OMG we were getting yelled at AT THE DUMP until the guy figured out he was PICKING THREW HIS OWN JUNK. BRAVO HOUND _ you go for it. And this is why he won't leave the house either 0r take a vacation - I swear he's afraid I'd clean up and throw stuff away - and he's right. HE IS RIGHT.
