Cant Throw It Out?
 

Whats your "I-cant-throw-it-out-even-though-I-cant-wear-it-anymore" item??

I have a couple, I just had to throw out my old Kick boxing dojo tee shirt, it was obscene and obsolutely not wearable anymore.


A pair of Diesel jeans, they are about thread bare and have more holes from wear than is fashionably acceptable these days.

The other is a nighty, its an old tee shirt one and I drag it out when I know I am going to bed early and intend staying in there for a good long time.

Cut-off sweat pants. With paint on them.

I have an early 1980s hooded pullover sweater. It is black and has geometric designs in purple/read and teal/orange around the waist and bell cuffs. It hasn't fit in many years, but has survived quite a few closet cleanings because it looks very cool.

Strangely enough Wolf, it doesnt sound cool :p

I have a pair of hand-me-down green hemp Adidas sneakers. I know that when they were given to me (rather, when I took them out of a friend's going-to-Goodwill box), I was at least the fourth owner of them, but there might be more prior to that. They are the most comfortable pair of sneakers I have ever owned, because they have a really high arch inset that perfectly matches my really high arches.

Technically they don't fit in the thread category, though, because I wear them all the time.

Only because you are younger than my sweater, no doubt.

I have a purple silk trench coat that I've never worn--my sis gave it to me circa 1985, and it's STILL in the box (her style, not mine). I have to admit it's kinda pretty, though...I think it'll fit her daughter in five years or so.

My Analogue Heaven t-shirt. Hasn't fit me in five years, the screening is half worn off, and it has a couple of nasty holes and stains, but...its an Analogue Heaven t-shirt.

my father's legacy. can't just throw it away.:cool: :cool:

I can see why you wouldn't wear it...... you know, pink light saber and all. ;)

i didn't say i never wear it. Well, the pink saber, it's actually cool. good color combination- black and pink. cool, don't you think?:D

I have that poster. Still. Also an assortment of other leftover posters from college. (which, IIRC, includes Men at Work, the Empire Strikes Back poster of Darth Vader with two Stormtroopers on a red background, a really cool one with all these animals hidden in a drawing of a lion, and a copy of Persistance of Memory.

I have a kind of a problem with books too.

My mistake, I was thinking this was about things you no longer can/will use, but can't part with. Guess can't part with for other reasons also applies.

Black and pink....maybe for jockey silks...or James Bond's foe's flags (say that three times fast) .... but I'll pass.:cool:

what's your problem with books, wolf? are you thinking of throwing 'em?:3_eyes:

If you mean it's difficult to part with them, then I'm right with you.

Throwing them????? I can't do that!! That would be a wrongness!!!

I read voraciously.

I don't go to the library.

When they were newer, I used to be at the level where I got the really cool thank you gift from amazon.com.

The piles of books are dangerously tall. If a young child or small pet were to be near one when it toppled over, they'd be dead.
