[QUOTE="Star*, post: 324074, member: 4964"] Ahhhhhh Luke......(insert DarthVader breathing) I am your Father...... No wait....wasn't it last week that Dude said "WOW you have a lot of Stuff in YOUR room, Leemmeee see what I need in here." then threw himself across MY bed in his gasoline soaked, filthy grease covered clothes and started searching through the boxes of stuff I keep "hidden" under my bed, in my closets, in my locked filing cabinets, in my storage bins and then announced that I should give him these things he had gathered up in his hands because....he didn't have any. :surprised1::confused1::angry: We can't keep - razors, shaving cream, cookies, potato chips, fix a flat, scissors, tape, Mean green cleaner, windex, (okay who am I kidding ANY household cleaner) deodorant, body soap, car cleaning supplies, cleaning rags, towels, washcloths, soda, bottle water, fishing gear, camping gear, All hell who am I kidding......if it can be picked up?
