Being some what of a pack rat, living by Grandpa’s rule ‘waste not want not’ today even I was surprised at what I found in a dark corner of my closet.
Hanging neatly in a corner of my closet I found 21 pair of Wrangler and Levi denim jeans. It was obvious that it had been a long time sense they had seen the light of day. As I removed them from their hangers, laying them on the foot of my bed, I could not help but wonder why I had bought new jeans when I had so many hanging in my closet!
I started sorting them by condition then opening the fly checking their size. To my great surprise, I found most of them to be 31 and 32 inch waste by 36 length. This discovery was amazing as well as shocking. I could not remember a time that I had a 32 inch waste as I now fit snugly into 36 inch Jeans!
Now that I no longer feel happy about my wardrobe, I have ‘jammed’ all of the jeans into large plastic bags and will drop them off at my local good will store for a needy slimmer person.
While I’m out maybe I will get myself nice 3 scoop ice cream cone to cheer me up.
I really wish I had never looked into that Dark Scary Corner of my closet!

Practicality is a marvelous thing. My daughter considers me to be a hoarder. As she cleaned my kitchen drawers to get rid of “all the excess” she suddenly cried out (with all the indignant justification she could muster) ” ‘groan’- – 4 potato mashers – – M-uh-uh-ther – – really – – 4?! You can only use 1 at a time!!” – – to which I replied, “but I have 4 granddaughters who all like to mash potatoes for dinner, avocados for guacamole, or bananas for banana bread – – all at the same time – – and, yes, there are plenty of leftovers, but, best of all, plenty of proud ‘I did it’ smiles!

It must be a Mars(man) Venus(woman) thing.
I have 4 can openers. 3 hand operated ones stored in my junk drawer and 1 electric operated can opener on the kitchen cabinet.

How scary! the waist size, I mean. I got rid of 20 pairs once with the same issue. This is off the subject – have you ever heard of Horticultural Molasses?

This guy has/had a radio gardening program out of Dallas Texas. He recommended using molasses as a soil supplement. I followed his recommendations / instructions and over 2 growing seasons the best I could tell applying molasses to my lawn and garden was a waste of my money, time and effort.

Interesting, pretty much what I thought would happen – I have visions of a gigantic ant hill where the molasses is applied.
Thanks

Ahh.. the Goodwill, my closet would be bare without it! Nothing like buying a brand new (tag still on) pair of jeans on .99 day and the tag says they were originally $79! If your inseam is 36 and waist is 36 I would say you’re normal for your height. Go ahead and have that 3 scoop ice cream cone.. of course if you feel too guilty I’ll take the 3rd scoop.. if its chocolate! 😉

How odd. I can’t imagine finding that many jeans in my wardrobe. Ever. I can’t think how big that closet is. And forgetting you owned them…..

Big smile … when I was driving a truck hauling cotton, I was away from home 25 – 30 days at a time. I had at one time 35 pair so I needed a laundry only once a month when I was home for a few days.
