Sherman's Lagoon by Jim Toomey for July 09, 2024

Ugh its never funny or okay when a spouse throws out things you don’t want thrown out.

My late wife was perfect … our basement, after 50 years, is filled with junk. It will be up to “the kid” to get rid of it … after I toddle off!

“Let a woman in your life,

And your serenity is through!

She’ll redecorate your home, from the cellar to the dome,

Then go on to the enthralling fun of overhauling you!"

— “I’m an Ordinary Man,” My Fair Lady, lyrics by Alan Jay Lerner, music by Frederick Loewe

I was sure she was gonna go get the pricing gun for Sherm.

Yep, HER stuff: “I can’t sell THAT!” HIS stuff: “Ah, 10 cents, no, 5, ah, just take the junk!”

So by, lots of stuff that can we can do without, she means Sherman’s stuff.

Maybe burying it might not be the best idea. Try putting it in the last place that Megan will never think to look.

“I have collectables, you have junk.”

I’d like to sell my yard…..

My dad told us that when he got back from military service, he found that his mother had tossed out his collection of baseball cards, which probably would have ended up being worth quite a bit.
