I have the packrat mentality too. I hoard little things that "might be useful someday." Alas, I have been admonished to keep the junk down to just one (super-wide) drawer in the kitchen. The other copy-paper boxes full of stuff in the computer room don't count...! <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Actually, the packratted things have come in quite useful on many an occasion so now my hoarding habit isn't seen as such the mental disease as it once was. Thank goodness I'm a cubicle dweller now - there's little temptation aside from rubber bands and binder clips. But when I was a PC tech, oh yes! The things I'd slip into my pockets! I even had a junk drawer at work (which came with me when I left) full of plastic/metal/wood/glass/etc. bits of who knows what.

I was quite conservative in equipping my BOB with little "needful things" like self-adhesive velcro strips. That's all I'll admit to right now. The poor thing is stuffed to exploding as it is.

I refuse to inventory the flotsam which was settled to the bottom of my purse. I consider it "padding" and leave it at that. And old receipts? That's.. um... tinder! Yeah! <img src="/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />
