    Talking LOL....my new trash compactor

    I hate taking out the garbage so the longer I can prolong it the better! So I "love" my trash compactor . My old one died last week and I was afraid that the replacement wouldn't be as good as the old - not !! The replacement compacts much better than my old compactor ! Today I took a look inside my new trash compactor and that made me laugh loud when I saw my old boots in it . Don't blame me. Normally I donate my old clothes and shoes but those knee high leather boots were worse than ugly....no shape, very uncomfortable and ridiculous outdated.
    those terrible boots before crushed in my new trash compactor :

    This made me laugh so hard. I think they were past the point of someone else wanting them. I do this with all my clothes. I literally wear them till they fall apart

    Congrats on the new compactor. My grandparents had one when I was growing up and I always thought is was so cool. We have a mini dumpster that we roll to the curb once a week and with just the 2 of us at home now, we have plenty of room in it. I wish I had thought of one when all the kiddos were still home though.

    As you can imagine my hubby was doing a happy dance if he saw those ridiculous outdated "stove pipes" in the trash compactor. He said that those boots look much better now
