You know what I'd like to do, if I found I had that extra money left over at the end of the month? Not all the time, mind you. Just one of those rare times when I feel like I deserve to treat myself to something a little special. Every year or so.
I'd throw out my entire sock drawer and buy an entire new Set O' Socks. Think, never having not to hunt for a pair that "kinda" matched in newness. For two that were stretched out equally. Both near the same tone of gray-ish white. The last two singles that just don't belong with any others. Yes, that'd be luxury to me.
You know what else I would do? I'd go to Home Depot and buy me one of those super deluxe, 2000 piece tool kits. With all those bits and tips. I would use it once, and then pitch the whole thing and go get another one. 'Cause you know the only bit you need for the second job is already lost!
And "NO" donating said items to the Salvation Army is not a good idea! That ruins the specialness of it for me. I do enough for others!

Wendy's little sock story: "Cautionary Tale of the socks". Once upon a time, before Rome started to burn and I had to spend all my time fiddling, I says to my self, "Hey look Wen your lazy, right? And that probably ain't going to change at your advanced age and mind set, so why don't you go get your self all one type of sock, so's you don't have to play rubic's cube when you fold the laundry. So's off I go, to flea market to the sock getting lady and buy 2 bag's -o' socks in my foot size. Which is a smallish sascwatch size 10. And me being of said laziness, throws all my gray, stretched out, partial heeled socks, into the trash. So trash goes out and socks go on feet Monday morning. But this is not a happy ending, much like any flea market purchase the size 10's turn out to be one bag of 13-15 and and one bag of 3-5. So for 6 months, until my next ship came in, I wore ill fitting socks. The end. Next weeks tale of woe: "Never drink when buying bags-o-underwear from the underwear getting lady at the flea market" . lyvmm&b
