Just found a bag of new clothes. They fit. I have no recollection of ever buying them. They

could be six years old. Ever found something you don't recall owning? Kinda of freaky because I have not shopped much for clothes in the past few years.

1. Yeah

I don't remember having bought 'Dead Like You' by Peter James, but I'm reading it now.

2. This guy walked into my kitchen today

And asked me what's for dinner.

Then it hit me:

"Oh, THAT'S what this ring is about."

I hope he likes pork chops.

6. Who doesn't like pork chops?

5. That happens to me with clothes, too.

I sometimes find things in my closet that must have migrated there on their own. I wish some of them would migrate out of there now.

I have stopped buying clothing!

[applegrove]

8. I pretty much have too.

9. it's funny, because I am starting to have memory issues but seem to always know

that I bought that shirt or that pair of shoes...I often don't recall what year I bought them but I do try to make regular donations of gently used clothing to charity. The bad stuff is donated to the recycle bin...

[raccoon]

7. Yes. The clothes must've been pretty forgettable. nt

11. I buy a lot of books by mail order -

13. Funny (for other people not me) story about multiple books

I was in the middle of a move, living with my parents after my lease was up but before my house was ready, and was taking my advanced finance class that term. On the first day I found out the text I needed was the same as for the intermediate class I took. Oh good! Then I remembered the text was in storage. The pod kind of storage. And there was no way to access it.

So I fucking bought the textbook. Again.

A few weeks later, my daughter's caregiver said to me, as I was leaving, "Oh! I keep forgetting to give you that textbook you lent me!"

Yes. It was THAT textbook. It wasn't in storage after all. I totally forgot I had lent it to her (she was also taking finance).

The kicker? We hardly used it for that class anyway. I didn't even really need to buy it.

14. I've moved, on average, every 3 years for the last 20 years.

I have had plenty of "Oh, what's in this box?" 2 years after a move and then I open it up to find things I forgot I had, LOL. Also a lot of, "Oh *THAT'S* where that thing has been!"

I don't think I've found things I didn't know I owned though. I would be really happy at present with a bag of clothes that fit me that I didn't know existed. (I desperately need new clothes as I re-join the workforce but have little money to buy any with right now). I'd look at it as a big bonus (especially because I hate clothes shopping, lol)! Enjoy your 'new' clothes!
