I haven't used a dishwasher in decades, because I hated unloading it. Plus, I always washed the dishes before I put them in, so I couldn't see the point.<br /><br />The few times I HAVE parted with things, the person I gave them to didn't appreciate, or take care of it and ended up making me mad as a wet hen. They can just buy their own things to ruin and discard. I'm hanging on to my stuff!Ms. Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06263882972749791087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466688981552322075.post-46164212869238127192011-11-21T10:37:37.309-06:002011-11-21T10:37:37.309-06:00I don't have a dishwasher b/c I cannot stand t...I don't have a dishwasher b/c I cannot stand the unloading bit. I do dishes by hand at every meal and I love the ritual of it. I dry them and put them away. I don;t want any clean or dirty dishes to have to deal with in the a.m. I now only have things I really love and I use all the time. No things that are off limits or only for "good" We use white cloth napkins daily and use the good towels. Hey we deserve it and we worked for it!Janie Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12370820382435543544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466688981552322075.post-68916280456031621302011-11-21T10:36:34.949-06:002011-11-21T10:36:34.949-06:00Great post.

I was going through books just yesterday and I thought "if I never get another library book...I will never get all of my own books read." <br />We are trying. That is all we can do! My daughter encourages me because she knows there will come a time when it will be her job to get rid of my stuff. <br />xo, CherylWhosyergurlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08796459473501881680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466688981552322075.post-77754408837478302992011-11-21T10:32:04.326-06:002011-11-21T10:32:04.326-06:00Sometimes I think I have too much stuff but when I...Sometimes I think I have too much stuff but when I've gotten rid of something I thought I'd never use again it seems like the next week I was needing just that.

When I get down my Mister always reminds me that God has promised to supply our needs. Do I doubt that? NO WAY. But,,,, our needs are the basic things in life as you stated in that little home you rented. How many of us could be happy withou the extras? Our special gadgets, our PC, cell phones, T.V. are all extra blessings in God's eye. A great post for this Thanksgiving Week. You have a good one, <br />AngelaAngelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17994753291659176298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466688981552322075.post-44891174496080858322011-11-21T08:07:59.624-06:002011-11-21T08:07:59.624-06:00Oh Joycee, I just married a man that was married f...Oh Joycee, I just married a man that was married for 52 years and me for 50...talk about stuff!!
