    Good idea to donate to a senior center, you sure gave me a lot to think about. I’m going to be busy tomorrow. I’ve watched several kinds of shows like this.

    I have kept those small square candleholders that are colorful on outside, silvery or clear on the inside -- for holding small items in my desk drawers. Paper clips, erasers, straight or sewing pins, miscellaneous small items that can be kept together. I clean the holders carefully after burning to not scratch interiors. The 99 cents store is gone; so sadly I have no more access to these to find (as to these lovely scented candles). Yet I have enough of these in-drawer, out-of-sight glass items that are wonderful in their place, doing their job!

      Absolutely agree! Piles of newspapers and magazines can quickly become a fire hazard, especially if they're near heat sources or electrical outlets. Plus, they attract dust and make cleaning more difficult. Decluttering those stacks not only makes your home safer but also gives it a fresher, more organized feel. Thanks for pointing this out-such an important reminder!

We have a dinner plate, large bowls for mixing and a medium size bowl for chili, soup, etc for my companion who needs a tray for his dishes / silverware for meals. Those polygonal restaurant trays are wonderful. They wipe clean easily, additionally are light, being they are sealed fiberglass! Come in many colors, too!

    Use ring binders and place documents for bank, IRS, and information that is critical in vinyl sleeves. Label spines of ring binders, overtime eliminate pages as years pass (oldest items first for bills or anything paid, if you have credit card bills same principle applies. Keep major documents - birth certificates, marriage certificates, or divorce papers, death certificates if one is entrusted as a guardian for an older relative, etc, in vinyl sleeves in one ring binder marked personal. Much easier than computer boxes of papers extending decades as some might have saved!

    I have jars of screws, nails, washers all kinds of hardware. I plan on giving away my extra jars of goods I no longer need for a project - dumping the metal items (repacked & labelled properly) in large quart zip-loc bags -- at a local lending library spot -- just to the side on the bench where other free items are occasionally left. That way people can take advantage of the goods. Jars loaded would be a problem to leave, as glass is a liability - Ziplocs not so much!

    Do not ditch files. I worked at 3 cos who backup papers. And worse.found out the backup tapes had zero on it. They had to dump 1.5 years of payroll, contract doc etc.
    My back up disks - what a waste!!!
    Paper works.

    • @EvergreenSeniors-n4o
      @EvergreenSeniors-n4o  16 днів тому +4

      Thank you for sharing your experience-what a challenging situation! You’re absolutely right that physical backups like paper can serve as a reliable safeguard, especially when digital methods fail. The key here is balance. While digitizing documents can save space and improve accessibility, keeping hard copies of critical records (like payroll or legal contracts) is a wise precaution.
      In the video, my suggestion to go digital is meant for non-essential papers that often pile up, like old receipts or outdated warranties. But for important documents, combining digital storage with a secure filing system can give you peace of mind. 😊
      I really appreciate your insight-it’s a great reminder that no single method is foolproof. Thank you for contributing to this conversation! 🌟

    I would keep hard copies of some important paper work. Computers fail and need to be replacing every few years. I have a file cabinet and do need to go through it and throw out old stuff but not getting rid of it. I do have a few large pots but I use them for canning. Pressure canner, grinder, etc, takes up a ton of space so I keep them, although I don't use them everyday.
