I was going about my morning shower rituals, shaving, grooming....etc, and it dawned on me that some of my personal items I have had for YEARS. I shave my parts with a shaver my little brother gave me for Xmas over TEN YEARS ago and it has traversed the WORLD with me and keeps on ticking!!! I also have a brush in my shaving bag that I bought in Pittsburgh after COLLEGE!

I also have a GUCCI watch from 1986....still ticking!

What are items that have stood the test of time that are just too good and valuable to your existence that just keep going and going and going and.....

I have a shirt my dad had when he was my age. That's from the 70's.

not so much with me right now but back in storage home in Australia I have many clothes I've had for years and years... not big on buying clothes I guess

I have a postcard I received almost 20 years ago that I have been using as a book mark all that time.

It's a little ratty looking but not so as you'd guess its provenance.

My old Morphy Richards bedside radio alarm clock I bought back in 1985. It's been dropped, kicked,bounced and stood on. It's dented, scraped with the finish peeling off and it's still going strong.

It has to be my old broom. Maintained it for 20 years. This old broom's had 17 new heads and 14 new handles in its time.

Give it another 3 weeks

LleeLlee has a jar of mayonaisse that she has been using since the 70s.

I have a pen that I bought on a S.F. Muni train around 1991 from a blind man that was selling them for a dollar each. It looks like a Sanrio-type thing and the ink smells like grape.

Anyway, I still have it (haven't lost it yet! :knockonwood:) and it still works. I call it my "lucky pen" and I won't let anyone else use it.

Why you have to dash my business about?

i have a shirt that is ten years old. It's a tanktop from victoria's secret and it started out as a nice tank top to wear out and stuff.

then it got demoted to a pajama tank top.

now it's a second rate pajama top that i wear when all the other pajama tops are dirty. it will be getting demoted into a washrag soon enough.

My mama still has a lot of her 70's clothes. I want some of them

Does your baby brother know what you do with his Christmas present?

I found these old T-shirts of mine from when I was about 8. One is a shirt My aunt sent me from NJ that says "Keep the New Jersey Shores Clean". It's pretty thin now and fits me like almost baby T.....because clearly I don't have the body of an 8 year old anymore. I used to wear my shirts oversized as a kid. Another shirt I still have that I don't wear anymore is one that I painted with fabric paint and leaves. It was a elementary school project we did on different types of leaves. I'm keeping that for sentimental reasons. I just can't throw something like that out.
