If a device has just one use, you don't need it
 
 
Look around your house, your closets are full of them
 
Those oh so tempting, and over-advertised  miracle gadgets
 
If you really took the bait, they probably cost $19.95 each
 
and you got a bonus item for "calling now" !!!
 
It's a miracle tool or a miracle appliance
 
and it never worked like they said it would on the commercial
 
and it only had one use to begin with
 
I'm as guilty as the next guy
 
I fell for the miracle can opener, and the meat slicer,
 
and an endless stream of single-purpose cooking devices
 
and the inability to adequately clean them after each use
 
put them in the upper kitchen cabinets to gather dust
 
The biggest problem with these gadgets is
 
for $20, they're easy to give during the holidays
 
and there's a steady stream of something new every year
 
Re-gift them immediately if you can
 
and just hope the giver doesn't come snooping around
 
asking you if you love yours as much as they do theirs
 
Ugh !!!!
 
And if you can't unload them that way
 
give them to charity during a cleaning and clearing out adventure
 
You'll be surprised how good getting rid of that stuff makes you feel
 
And be ruthless about it
 
the regrets are few
 
and you get over them quickly
 
Decrapify your life !!!
