The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for August 28, 2021

…..then we can go yard sailing.

Just remember Gladys, one person’s junk, is another person’s treasure!!

/SHMIRK/

Let’s start with that thing under the picture.

A house is a place to keep your stuff while you go out and buy more stuff.

George Carlin

The reason why you have too much junk Gladys is that you do too much shopping! ;/

Then do a minor decluttering.

That could be a second career.

Why bother, after you finish decluttering you end up re-cluttering.

I buy the least amount of stuff and my wife says our clutter is mostly my stuff.

he’s got a point. so there’s got to be a happy medium somewhere.

If it doesn’t bring you joy, then toss it. Sorry, Gladys. Out you go.

But how are we going to make it the show “Hoarders”?

You want to see clutter? Come to my house. I’m the King of Clutter.

His stuff is clutter – hers are family air looms.

You’ll replace it with more clutter.

in my experience, this will only result in throwing my stuff out… to make room for more of her stuff!

Lets start with the fat broad !

But clutter is “neat”

Brutus, you overheard my wife and I talking. I’ve lost a lot of “treasures” over the years.

Brutus, just say to her, Have at it woman but just leave my stuff alone". However, words like that will just make her want to buy more stuff to clutter the house after she declutters the house. You can’t ever win Mr. Born Loser….

Nothing left is the point of decluttering.

This one hits close to home. We just got done getting rid of all of my late mother-in-law‘s stuff and we’ve come to realize how much of our own stuff needs to be decluttered. 41 years of marriage so far and it won’t go away on its own as I had hoped!

He’s afraid he’ll be the first to go.

He had immediately grasped the heart of Zen.

The place to start decluttering is with Mother Gargle, but I wouldn’t say that Brutus.

Sounds like Swedish Death Cleaning to me.

I don’t call it ‘clutter’ but rather ‘flat surface decoration’ as in any time there is a flat surface stuff appears to rest on it

I get this one.

I’m single.

So i am both sides of that. :D

Which reminds me, I have a few boxes I keep forgetting to take to Goodwill.

I have a box in my living room that I’m putting stuff in to be donated…

One woman’s junk is another man’s boredom avoidance (during retirement).

This hits home for me, because I’m in the process of cleaning out my closet, which is extremely cluttered. Now if I can just convince my husband to start getting rid of his huge collection of DVDs that he will never watch again. :-(

after they get done with decluttering they can vacuum de cobwebs and de dust…
