What do you have, that you never use, but don't get rid of?

[ohiosmith]

Cowboy boots. I have more than 20 pair but haven't worn any of them in more than five years.

[datasuspect]

1. a very small pager

that a bartender gave to me.

it's a little electronic nugget.

[ohiosmith]

2. Aren't you supposed to return those things when you get seated?

[datasuspect]

4. not only that, the dude in the red vest outside gave me a car!

[Dangerously Amused]

3. You want I should get your thread locked?

:cry:

[ohiosmith]

6. HEY!

CaliforniaPeggy is watching.

[BarenakedLady]

5. I would say it

but that would be mean.

[bluethruandthru]

7. My husband?

..kidding!

[ohiosmith]

8. :

:rofl:

[leftofthedial]

9. other than certain anatomical features,

such as my brain,

I have three old computers I never use anymore

a guitar I never play (I also have five other guitars I DO play)

several vintage keyboards I never play

a gift VCR-DVD combo that's been sitting in its box unopened next to the TV for two months now.

But I did clean out a closet and an armoire and several boxes full of old clothes. ARC picked them up about half an hour ago.

[billyskank]

10. A box of condoms?

:shrug:

[ohiosmith]

11. bummer

[Jokerman]

12. Fire Extinguisher.

So far, anyway.

[reyd reid reed]

13. Oh, that's easy...

but it'd also probably earn a lock.

:eyes:

Non-lockable? Clothes. Everything from a size 7 on up. I've got one outfit...skirt/blouse/shoes...that's older than #1 son.

[bikebloke]

14. School books

From 30 years ago. I've been hauling them from flat to flat in boxes that sit in closets or storage cages.

[Chan790]

15. My suit

Specifically, a Savile Row English-cut bespoke-tailored charcoal-grey suit. I'd be insane to throw it away.

[Quantess]

16. wild 60s & 70s era maternity dresses

But I've never had a baby!
They are so cool! I will wear them if I get pregnant.

Edit: they are homemade, and are wilder and kookier than the conventially modest maternity clothes of the time.

[Deja Q]

17. Well, I haven't done it in years...

a credit card. (what were you thinking! :rofl: )

[Quantess]

19. mm hmm same here.

A department store credit card.

[MissMillie]

31. I was thinking

credit card.

:rofl:

what did you think I was thinking?

[SmokingJacket]

18. A concertina, five or six old typewriters, a whole bunch of tapes...

lots of cassette tapes, actually. Two or three tea sets, a juicer, an ice cream maker, a bunch of fiesta ware, antique boots, vintage dresses I got too fat for post-babies.

[azmouse]

20. A sewing machine

and an old reel-to-reel tape recorder and 2 VCRs.

[flvegan]

21. Nice set of Ping golf clubs.

Haven't played golf in, like, forever.

[Phillycat]

22. A bread maker.

I got it for free, but it's massive and I never use it. Considering the diminutiveness of my kitchen, you'd think I'd have a better use for that space. :shrug:

[Lars39]

24. Use it to make pizza dough.

Mine's on the fritz and we're already going into pizza withdrawal. :cry:

[Phillycat]

25. How much of a mess are we talking about here?

Flour all over the kitchen? Will my kitten be making white pawprints all over my apartment?

[Lars39]

30. It is a little messy, but not too bad.

:)

[Phillycat]

32. Perhaps worth it - I find most commercial pizza too greasy.

What do you top yours with? Do you make your own sauce or buy a commercial version? And what kind of chees works the best?

I'm sorry, I'm just getting a feel for this, I think it might be a good idea. :)

Also, do I need a flat stone to bake it on? And a pizza paddle? And my oven is small - will it fit?

[ohiosmith]

33. If you are near a Trader Joe's you should try their pizza dough.

You can get a pizza stone and peel set at Bed, Bath, Beyond for lees than $13.00.

Trader Joe's also has an excellent pizza sauce and grated italian cheeses.

[Phillycat]

34. Thank you!

There is a Trader Joe's right down the street. :D

[ohiosmith]

35. Try the regular dough for thin or regular crust and the corn dough

if you are in to deep dish.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

23. A canoe

Mr GoG begged to get it about 15 years ago, when he saw it on sale. We got paddles, life vests, the whole works. It hasn't seen the water yet. I hope the seats aren't rotted...

[Ariana Celeste]

26. This foot massager thing a friend gave me

She used it a couple of times before she gave it to me, and I have this weird thing about feet, so even though I want to use it, I always make an excuse to do something else instead.

[BOSSHOG]

27. My old Navy Uniforms

Takes up half a closet. Drives my wife crazy. One of these decades I may consider getting rid of some of them.

[ScreamingMeemie]

28. Scrapbooking supplies...

I'd like to, but I can't find the time... that sounds stupid, eh?

[Patiod]

29. Scuba gear

One ear canal is much smaller than the other, so it takes me forever to equalize and get to any depth. By the time I'd get to the dive site, it would be time to resurface. So I haven't been diving in 15 years.....

But I can't bear to get rid of it. Even though it's probably hopelessly outdated by now....

[Book Lover]

36. My Patience
