    Things that are old, or not wanted any more.

    Too much throwing away.

    I'm all about the keeping thigs if they are useful or finding another use for them or recycling before the bin

    Are you?

    I have an idea for an art project, but I need a ping pong ball. Can anyone here send me a ping pong ball please?

    Not a butt plug or anything, just a ping pong ball. It's for an art project that requires no effort, yet somehow sourcing ping pong balls is a problem here!!!

    All my stuff is old.... I'll keep it until it's even older.

    i reuse everything i can. but too much packaging on everything, limited space, and no place for a compost pile. its embarrassing, but really no choice, just even the stuff food comes packaged in, and we all still have to eat, generates one of those tall kitchen bags a week, and that's just one me. i guess if i lived with people and they were willing to share, we could reduce packaging by buying in larger amounts, but if i tried that it would all rot on me, and be even more to have to go out.

    I know some girls in clubs that can shoot ping pong balls to you.

    My pet hate is wasting food because it's 'sell by' date is past.
    I stick it in the freezer and eat it months later. Caught my misses trying to throw out pork barbecue sticks because they were 6 months past their date. I'm still eating them and not sick (yet).
    When the supermarkets sell chicken breasts or pork mince or milk at half price, I buy loads and fill the freezer ....... saves lots of money.
