And re-reading the same book 900x to someone and then getting told that somebody else does it better and you are doing it all wrong. And the book must be either mysteriously sticky, wet, or both.
And kick yourself for throwing it out the day before a situation arises where it would’ve come in really handy.
Just did this two days ago!! It's a great box. Heavy cardboard, unusual size and I KNOW I'll need it as soon as I get rid of it.
that's the way it works for me. can't find the $120 key fob? go buy one - now you have two.

A client gave me a fancy coffee related gift box. Coffee, expresso chocolate bars, expresso cookies, and a cup. The box that the stuff came is so fine, so sturdy, I can not throw it out. Annoying. Now I have a very good looking box taking up space.
But does it smell good too? Cause that would make a great regifting box!

After years of this struggle LOL we learned to keep three. ONLY THREE! Saved our marriage. 😏
It's bags and Tupperware for me. If I get a sturdy bag, it goes in the cupboard. If it has handles? It's going into years of rotation.
I posted before I saw this Lynn! Sisters in appreciation of bags.

After 10 long years, my wife has finally admitted she's addicted to boxes. I perceive this as a huge success.
I would also consider it a success if I had a wife who was addicted to boxes. Just thinking about all the organising going on...

I cut up the really sturdy ones to line the bottom of a raised bed garden. Free stuff yah!!!
I used to bring home all the big, really strong and sturdy boxes from my work for my cat. I worked in a cash and carry. We would pile them up near the checkouts for customers to use. Every so often I'd take one or 2 really good ones home with me, just a huge empty box. My co workers thought i was both mad and quite sad when i told them they were for my cat. I was the only person that worked there that owned a cat, they just didn't understand lol
When I was about ten years old I made some cuts in a cardboard box that my mom considered a really good box and she still mad about it
Once I kept a bunch and then cut them into stripes, sew them together and gave the scratcher to my cat that loved it
Me: Looks around room at many different shaped and sized boxes. Also, realizing that I may have developed a more serious problem.
I save until corner of house is full of boxes. Recycle them and 2days later desperately need a box.
I sure am guilty of that! I hate to throw away a good cardboard box.
I hate that I do this, because I'm an IT manager. Just about everything we use comes delivered in boxes, I could build a minecraft empire with all the boxes. WHYYYYYYY can't I just let them goooo?
I have this very good cardboard which I use to put my mother's xmas gift Every second year (she does thé same Every other second year)
hey here's a suggestion I tried recently! Drag all your excess boxes to one location. Snap a cell picture. Post on NextDoor or Craigslist, as free. Wait a few weeks or months, and keep adding to the giant heap. Carefully screen and eventually, someone will gladly come and repurpose it and make it all magically disappear.
Lol. I still do this ... also "really good bags" (like large bags from a department store). Oh now that I think of it ... all containers, really!
I have accumulated more "really good" containers than I could ever possibly need!

I like keeping a pile of empty boxes in the garage just in case I every need a box.
Well. It IS a really good box. So you keep it. But 2 days after you decide to finally throw it away (after keeping it for 2 years), you find THE perfect use for it.
Always, I get in trouble because every month we get a dog food delivery and I can't bring myself to throw the box away in case we need it down the line and they pile up in the shed, same goes for shoe boxes and any type of plastic pot.
Serious LOL, this is so me! And for why? Can't even tell you.
She's slowly becoming a hoarder. I've watched this grow over the last 15 years... It starts with box's guys... Lol, love you hunny!
(New kitchen from Ikea, these are the boxes it came in)

I keep them for when I need boxes for moving or sending a parcel.
I’m wondering at what age do kids stop getting psyched for our empty beer boxes.
i have a cardboard stash in my closet that takes up at least 40% of the available space lmao
Let’s talk about the elephant in the room. The pressure society puts on moms is unbelievable. Expecting moms are told countless ways how they “should" give birth, feed their baby, build their career, promote a healthy relationship with the baby, and so on and so on. Meanwhile, moms who delivered a baby are expected to “get back on track,” meaning life, work, family duties, body shape and size should be the way society wants. If not, many moms feel like they failed, hence self-worth problems and even depression may emerge.
This the greatest idea!! You take out your pitcher and get it filled, I want one!!! image-626d...11-png.jpg 
This survey commissioned by TIME found that half of 913 new mothers that participated had experienced regret, shame, guilt or anger, mostly due to unexpected complications and lack of support. And that’s not all.
More than 70% felt pressured to do things a certain way. More than half said a natural birth was extremely or very important, yet 43% wound up needing drugs or an epidural, and 22% had unplanned C-sections. Breastfeeding, too, proved a greater challenge than anticipated. Out of the 20% who planned to breastfeed for at least a year, fewer than half actually did.
The majority of mothers in the survey pointed to “society in general” as the source of the pressure, followed by doctors and other mothers. Sadly, this has become the new norm and not many women dare to publicly talk about it in fear of being dubbed “selfish” and “not good enough.”
So no wonder so many women these days choose to stay single and/or childfree. Contrary to common belief, a new study found child-free people are as happy as parents, with the authors surprised by just how many men and women indicated they didn’t want to have kids. The result follows the larger trend of Americans having fewer children in general: the U.S. birth rate fell to a record low last year and there could be 300,000 to 500,000 fewer births in 2021, according to some estimates.
Yes, and I'm never quite sure whether I'm deep cleaning BECAUSE I'm mad at the world and being passive- aggressive about it and want them to slowly back away from the crazy lady with the scrub brush and bleach, or whether I'm mad at the world because I'm having to deep clean AGAIN and I'm the only person doing it.
So to find out more about why more and more women consciously decide to opt out from parenthood, we spoke with the relationship coach Jane Parker. “I think there are many possible reasons and each woman who chooses to be childfree and/or single has a unique reason for themselves,” she told Bored Panda.
Parker explained that some women realize that their career is more important to them than having children or getting married. “Devoting your life to caring for another is a very big choice to make, and not all women want to commit to that. Life without children can create more ease for adventure, unlimited possibilities, and freedom of choice.”
Another reason may be finances. “Maybe some women just love the idea of only needing to think and take care of only themselves and aren't willing to make the sacrifices that parenting requires,” Parker said.The relationship coach said that childfree women may not want the responsibility of raising a child or, quite simply, “they love their life exactly how it is and don't want to change it to fit around a child.”

You might not be wrong though. My hubby doesn't use soap. Just rinses the dishes and puts them away...wet, with food still stuck on. 'It's good enough!' No...no it really isn't.
I like breakfast, but sometimes I'm just not in the mood right after waking up, you know? Why force it on yourself.

And then the kids grow up and move away, and you miss them but they don't miss you because for them, life is a great big adventure, and you can't be mad at them because you did the exact same thing to YOUR parents. And now life is just more or less wrapping things up and putting things away and shutting things down so my wife won't have to deal with so much mess when I die.
Um. We’re living the same life. But you sound like you’re doing it with style. Bravo!

Am I the only one that doesn't think it's cute or funny when wives/moms make posts like "(sigh) my husband doesn't know how to do housework or cook, or take care of the kids he helped make, and needs his hand held like a child to get through daily life, isn't that fUnNy"?
Agreed. A man who doesn't know how to wash dishes or even remember their child's birthday, isn't someone whom I would want to spend the rest of my life with if you ask me. That only means I'll wind up doing everything.

When u have to lock the door by opening the drawer of our captain's bed 🤣🤣🤣
Remember people it's all temporary, it's won't last. Just enjoy it because soon you'll be dead...forever.
This is not the point of this article but reading your comment made me think of something I read recently. The person asked another individual that was fretting over if death would be painful, if anything was known or felt prior to them being born, and then said think of death the same way, you didn't know anything about anything before you were born and you won't know anything about anything after you die. So don't worry about it. Reading that changed my whole attitude about death. Edit: spelling
