Shoe boxes are the best but mine are full of shoes If you don't have a junk drawer shoe boxes are the next best thing..And yes ah the memory's peace,sugarcookie1

Ahhh......the much loved "man drawer".....i see it has spread to women too.

Do you have a "man drawer"?



CX.

It's gotten so bad, I have invaded the linen closet and the garage with my "junk".
It's mostly books though.

I have three junk drawers in my desk. The first one mostly has old perfume bottles, pens that don't work, headphones with only one side working, 3 or 4 broken MP4 players and toys (I can see an orange pterodactyl, a small yellow car I used to play with when I was a toddler and a Power Rangers yo yo).

The second one has old papers, cassette tapes (how long have those been there?) a bag with pins, a school medal and remote controls that I have no idea what they do.

The third one has... light bulbs. Yeah, I don't know either

I have always been able to find something there that I could use, except the other day when I was looking for a stapler. I found a box of staples but nothing to put them on. It was the first time my junk drawers disappointed me, a sad day that was

I watched the video and it was hilarious thanks for posting it..There is no man drawer at my house I'm a single lady..

But i had to laugh about the keys Ive got tons of them in my drawer and Ive no idea what they go to but i just cant bring myself to throw them away they just might be to something very important so i will probably hold on to them for life

There was a man drawer in our house once,I took it
over too! My husband wants me to have a yard sale
sometime soon.
One time I was going to go visit out of state relatives.
My husband was threatening to hire a truck and empty
the house while I was gone.Most of my husband's complaints
are over my business inventory.

I have an eReader, but if I like the book enough I buy it in hardcopy too. Besides, it's just not the same. I can't sit in the bath and read with an eReader - the electronics might fizzle out.

I have a box full of dinosaur models in the garage... and some of those wooden skeleton models of dinosaurs too. Can't get rid of that!! It's dinosaurs.

You have a point with not taking the ereader into the tub with my luck id drop it right into the water and that would be the end of that..peace,sugarcookie1
