[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hate clutter too and also dealt with too much stuff when my mom died. I went through and sorted into piles and bags and donated to various charities. But I also feel we’ve gone too far in throwing things out. I have two little girls and know fro. Them that scrunches are back. Couldn’t there be a little girl in your life who might love your genuine 80s scrunches? I do spend some time thinking if I can give these things to people in my life, repurpose or just store out of the 2sy for a while before tossing to the landfill. And it’s always a good reminder to me to buy less stuff.[/quote]

Wouldn't the elastic in those scrunchies be brittle by now?  Nothing lasts forever.[/quote]

NP-yes, it would be.

My mom once told me that she had a box of clothes I had left at her house. I was confused (I wasn't missing clothes) and went and got it. Turns out, it was everyday tshirts from when I was like 12. Which had yellowed and the neck elastics rotted.

Had she donated those tshirts after the 12 yo me outgrew them, someone else could have used them! But now ,they were trash. So, she didn't do anyone any favors. [/quote]
