I know I am. Today has been pretty slow at work so I decided to clean out my wallet. As I'm looking thru the massive stack of gas receipts I come across a few that are dated August of 04!!! These were from my trip out to Bufflo for the last bash. lol.

<----raises both hands
I tend to save odds and ends that I may need and are a pain in the ass to go get. Nuts, bolts, old RC parts I can mod for a project and things of that sort. They are fairly well organized.
My wife will not toss anything that we paid money for. Pots and pans that are 10 years old. Cloths that she thinks my come back into favor, SHOES,SHOES,SHOES and the one that gets me is Boxes. She will not toss boxes for things we get. Why, because she can't toss the thing when they are old or warn out, they goes back into the boxs she saved.
Once every so often old crap from the garage just disappears. I gave up asking if I could toss it, it just disappears into the world of missing sox. If she asks, I just get this stupid look on my face and shrug my shoulders and make some kind of grunting noise. :shrug:

:hammer: I have a reciept from 3 years ago when i bought my oakley sunglasses in hawaii for my b-day present and i have a reciept from a burger at burgerville that is from 2001 lol..... that is not cleaning out ur wallet for ya!!!!
Guilty....although I do use most everything I horde at least once a year...or every other year if it's a really big expensive something.....
I collect stuff and so that makes me a pack-rat of sorts.
It carries over to other things as well. You never know if you might need that bike inner tube with 6 holes in it for something which I did use this past weekend. Cut it up and used it to support some small trees to tree stakes.
If I think the item may have some use, I will save it. Of course I then forget about it and find it months or even years later and the cycle starts over again.
My wife on the other hand will throw or give something away just because it is in her way or is taking up storage space.

I have a photo that was taken in 1980's. Lol... ok... it is my girlfriend picture when she was 5 years old.
And I get this question a lot "Is that your daughter?"
Yes! She eats a lot, sleeps a lot and now she is the same height as me and 120 lbs.
I love to see their face when I responded that way :LoL:
No receipts or anything for now because I just got a new wallet and clean out all of them. Other than that just a couple of 2 dollar bills I collected over the years (from strip clubs).

I throw $hit away. Sometime I find myself looking for something I thought I had, then I realize a threw it away, or gave it away. I figure if I haven't pick it up in a year I don't need it. Like my HPI Nitro Rush. I haven't messed with it but a few times in the 3 years I've had it, so I think I'll give it to my buddy for his birthday with a 12 pack. Let him mess with it a bit, and maybe I'll still get to drive it once in a while. :shrug:
