My wife doesn't do this ..(She's been trained ...(warned) )
My sister does ..
But I've seen other women indiscriminantly tossing stuff ..I just made the assumption it was from them doing so many dishes ....if it doesn't fit in the garbage disposal than it goes in the trash .
I'm not a hoarder !!!!
someday someone might need tines for a rake .
LOL
How does one get “A womans definition of cleaning…throw it away” ?
3 easy steps! 
1. Some people’s definition of cleaning…throw it away.
2. Guys, on average, seem less concerned about the neatness or appearance of their home. As such, between them and their wife (, girlfriend, mother) the later tends to spend more time cleaning.
3. 1+2= “A womans definition of cleaning…throw it away” :bigsmile:
Seems a bit unfriendly for our female members. We have at least 3, maybe more.
Do I have to turn in my brotherhood card…? :~ 
Who am I to judge... I still have mobo and PSU from a 9 year old computer. Need to clean out that drawer... 
Hey, those old parts are for practicing soldering!
They might start releasing movies on Betamax again, right?
LOL…i’ve got a set of rake tines out in the garage,doesn’t everybody?..I’m serious.
will get around to putting new wood on them eventualy. 
I like keeping boxes/packaging of nice products. Am I strange? My wife thinks so. lol
I feel like I’m out of step here but I am much more concerned with cleaning/tidying than my wife,who has much better things to do with her time and who throws nothing away but rather puts everything with which she is unfamiliar into various plastic boxes, which are then produced at a later date for the keep?/toss? question.It’s actually not a bad system and forces me (I horde stuff like a squirrel with it’s nuts) to think what I really need to keep. Sorry about this guys!
That sounds like a good system, KenCam! I think where we go wrong is not realising something was useful to the other and just assuming it’s rubbish/junk and can be thrown away.
i always keep all my amazon boxes in the attic
because im cheap and dont want to pay for packing when i sell stuff
I keep boxes for the things I think I might sell later.
I feel this belongs here... please forgive me if I err...
lmao…!
I think "My Stuff and Your Crap" is a fairly universal attitude - male or female.
I’ll gladly take any lights off your hands.
One man’s trash is another man’s treasure. 
Just the opposite. We have tons of stuff that is either broken/defective/not needed/useless/decayed and somehow it all gets stored away.
Every now and then I’ll organize a spring-cleaning and remove (well… at least half) of all that useless junk
(unfortunately, to create space for more useless junk) 
“Decayed” is the one that worries me…
Yeah… you know how it is… You put something in a cardboard box and months later open it to find it’s gone to rot.
In our hot, humid (65-90%) climate that’s what happens usually.
has already threatened to call in the duo Kim and Aggie from “How Clean Is Your House?” for back-up.
