Today is another edition of Works-For-Me Wednesday Backwards Edition, in which you ask a question of your readers instead of sharing a piece of advice.
Here's my dilemma:
The DVDs are OVERTAKING MY LIFE. I've told you before that we store our kids' DVDs in a regular music CD case. This works great for us--it goes back and forth easily between the car and home. The idea is working so well that I think we extend the system to the grown-up DVDs (I nearly said "adult DVDs", but can you imagine the rumors that would've started?)
The problem is that as nicely as all this works for us, the cabinet where I store all the empty, un-used DVD cases looks like this:
Look at all those empty cases! That is a LOT of wasted space. But do you think I can throw them away? Please. Someone. Give me permission to THROW AWAY THE DVD CASES. Tell me that they serve no purpose sitting there empty and they're taking up an entire valuable shelf. It's not like the original DVD case for Weekend at Bernie's is fetching big bucks on Ebay these days.
(Oh, and speaking of completely worthless things...see that clear plastic container on the bottom? That is my cassette tape collection. Cassette tapes. If you enlarge the photo and look closely, you can see the original case for the single of Blame It On the Rain. Collector's item, baby.)
Anyway, if you'd like to participate in WFMW Backwards Day, please leave your link below. Remember to link directly to your WFMW post. As always, thanks for playing.
