I believe in confined & classified clutter. I have four hellboxes, for big & small electrical & nonelectrical things. Watches that have been dead for 30 years! You never know. When the little metal feet of my new toaster oven slithered around on top of the microwave, I got out the odd piece of the mouse pad that I had cut out to make room for the corner of the keyboard, cut four pieces out of it, and fastened them down with double-backed tape. (Every household needs a dozen rolls of different kinds of tape.) Every use of available materials is a small victory in life. Shopping constitutes honorable defeat.
