seashell turquoise is in the blue family so yes that counts. What a great idea! Im going to toss a can of static guard purchased pre 1996 (judging by the store name on the label). Its rusty and i tried to use it yesterday and smelled awful. Who knew it could go bad? I havent used it in years, last time i think was when i replaced the hard drive in my desktop computer (which has been history for five years). Bye bye!

I did toss out a used ziplock bag and a tote with a broken zipper,
This has been fun A cleaner house you see One last thing Something starting with "Z"
And a rather ugly shirt that didn't fit.
"You used to wear me But now you don't Think you will wear me again But you know you won’t"
And the mate to a trouser sock that I tossed out because I tore the toe
'We used to be a pair Now we are just one Being a single Is really no fun"
Tossed out a pair of scissors that were bought for cloth and someone used them on paper and now they mangle the cloth
I was wanted But now am broken Repair isn't an option Trash and collect a token
I was reusing a Chinese take out bowl until the corner on it broke.
That meal was great I love that take-out place But I don't need the container Cluttering up my space
I bought a new TV remote and tossed out the box it came in
Good things come in boxes But once you unpack Those cartons are useless Recycle the stack
I tossed out a game piece to a game that I tossed out years ago
I was entertaining I once was fun Time has passed And the fun is done
The bill isn't old, but I did pay bills and I tossed out all the trash that comes with them and filed what I needed to keep.
Paper piles up No doubt about that Dig through and find your oldest bill Why do you have me still?
Do I still get credit? I cleaned out the drawer last week and only kept a few
Speaking of bags Those plastic ones pile up Set a number and decide Enough is enough

You used to wear me But now you don't Think you will wear me again But you know you won’t A black and gray lightweight jacket in a non-overwhelming leopard print. It's a little too small for me, and I never wear it any more, but I've been hanging on to it for "someday" . . . Off to the thrift store with you!

Item/Clue #6
That meal was great I love that take-out place But I don't need the container Cluttering up my space A Jimmy Johns sandwich sack. I had two sandwiches delivered the other day, for supper for two days. The second day, it was dark when I finished my sandwich, and I stuck the empty bag in the fridge, rather than venture out to the dumpster. Keeping it in the fridge kept the bugs at bay. It is now in the dumpster. Those sandwiches are so good!

Item/Clue #2
You used to wear me But now you don't Think you will wear me again But you know you won’t
a work outfit (shirt and pants), that I wore when I wanted to look professional but dowdy. I haven't worn it in ages, and I don't think that either would fit anymore. I packed it up and dropped it off at the goodwill shop this afternoon. I had forgotten I even had that shirt, and found it when looking for something else to donate. I put the outfit in a blue plastic bag, for item/clue #4, but I am hoping that I will find something better for the blue.

I really like this idea! Don't know if I can do one of these every day, but today I got rid of 8 cartons. I gathered them and stripped the labels off, and DH cut them up and got them out to the recycling bin. Item/Clue #7

Item/Clue #17Furry or hard Plastic or stuffed Can you rid your house Of a mouse? I guess computer mice would qualify... I liked the model of mouse we were using at work, and when I went to buy one for myself at home, I wasn't able to buy an individual one on Ebay; I had to buy a small lot. The extras have been sitting in a box on top of my sewing machine cabinet for several years. Three computer mice are now in my To Goodwill box.
