Day 324: Broken Things

I threw out an old curling iron that lost a screw. The bar would only clamp tightly at the tip, so curling took a LONG time. I probably eventually could have found the right kind of screw, but the iron was probably 20 years old, not very efficient, and my errand routine doesn't usually include wandering the aisles of hardware stores.

Keeping broken things is great if you have the discipline to fix them (and the talent.) However, if broken items have been stored more than six months to a year, you might consider throwing them out. You obviously haven't had to use it in a long time and must not need it that badly. Stored broken objects become clutter very quickly.
