Speaker 1 (00:22):
Right, and I'm like, this morning, good morning everybody. It's
ten ten twenty five, October the tenth. Well, it's been
a great month starting off, I had a lot of
birthdays in the first part of the month, and hey,
I got through that, and now we are off in
sailing through the rest of this month. This is October,
(00:45):
soon being November, soon December. Wow, everything is going real quick. Anyway,
Good day to everyone, and welcome to Let Grandpa Speak.
This is Let Grandpa Speak showing I'm your host, the
number one show on the Internet, the voice of the
fifty plus and all the rest of us. It's a
good day to day. Everything is wonderful outside. The weather's
(01:08):
kind of changed. It's cooler, but hey, you know it's nice.
It's not real cold or anything. Just yet. We're still
in the early part of the fall and life is beautiful.
So hey, let's keep on going and keep on getting Anyway,
you get the information that you can use when you're
listening to Let Grandpa Speak. And that's what we get.
(01:28):
We give you something that you can use. We don't
just give your show that it's just about nothing. We
give you a show about how to live better, how
to make your life much better, how to be healthier,
how to be stronger, and also how to help your
economics and everything else. We give you all the information
you need as you're growing older, and you need a
(01:51):
lot of information because you've never been living this long before.
People living most of the lot. There's so many people
living to be one hundred, one hundred and five. Every
time I look around at somebody's on the internet for
one hundred and three hundred and four hundred and five.
So we got a lot of people living a long
time right now. And that's wonderful. It's good, it's just
(02:11):
all right, it's all right now. This show is mainly
about just common sense. That's all. I teach common sense,
and everybody has common sense. Whoever you are, you have
common sense. We all got that and we all have
common sense. Again, it's very easy to know right from wrong.
(02:32):
It's very even a little baby knows what right from wrong.
Sometimes if you get on and say don't do that,
they know right away that they shouldn't do that. And
that's all right. That's all common sense is about. All
humans know what's right and what's wrong. We all know it.
If we went around the world, if you go into
(02:53):
another country in the world, and we travel a lot.
When we go to those other countries, we respect to
those people that act normal. We expect for those people
to act, but just common sense. And we may not
know them, we may not speak their language or anything else,
but we know we can go visit, we can travel,
we can go take a vacation here, we can take
(03:13):
a vacation there where we don't know the people, we
know one thing. All the people that you're going to
run into, most of them have common sense. And that's all.
It is common sense all over the world. It's safe
for in most countries. We're safe to go wherever we're going,
and that's wonderful. Now, music, it is considered a universal language.
(03:35):
You know, you can play music and everybody will get
into it. Whatever the kind of music you play. People
of human nature, people just love it. They'll get into
the music and enjoy it and have a lot of fun.
It doesn't matter. And that's just common sense. Common sense
is the same as music. It's also universal and everybody
(03:57):
has it. So it's two things. Are the two things
that we all have in common, and that is common
sense and music. And we can listen to those and
we can enjoy it. No matter where you hear a
tune or somebody playing music, whether it's in a foreign country,
whether it's foreign music or music you know from the country,
(04:17):
you still feel good about listening to the music. Well,
that's the same thing with common sense. It's also something
that you have that is with you at all times.
Just use your common sense when you're trying to figure
things out. Grandma always told me that you your common sense. Boy,
what you what you got to do? Pick that thing
up and bring it over here, like you know, So
(04:38):
that's what it was. We think of sup, we think
of stup before it happens. We always do. A lot
of people don't really realize that. They'll think, well, this
happened to me and I had nothing to do with
it is bad luck. But you you know it's that's
not true. You miss say, I didn't think, well, what happened?
(05:01):
Is it happening? Well, you just don't remember it. It
did cross your mind. All the experts will tell you
that you just don't remember. It didn't come back to
mind or whatever it is. So you thought about most
of the things that happened to you. And like I say,
we are paying attention and a lot of times we
(05:21):
get thoughts from everywhere, and the thoughts that we think
are thoughts that caused us to live a life for something.
We think about that before it happened to us. So
that's where things work. So common sense makes a lot
of sense when you think about it. The experts say,
you just don't remember what happened to you. If something
(05:43):
happened to you and you think, well, how that happen,
where'd that come from? I had never been on my
mind before. Yes, it has, it's dead. They also say
that you can tell your future. This is what psychologists,
people whose science, everybody who's studies and come through with
things that we need to know how to live and
(06:03):
to be living with. They're all saying that you can
tell your future about what you're thinking today. So what
are you thinking today? We're thinking a lot of stuff today.
Sometimes we think we're angry, sometimes we think that if
we Sometime we think good. Sometimes we go through a
lot of different times of thinking. But my point for
(06:24):
you is to tell you, you know, make sure you check
your thinking, know what you're thinking every day. Spend some
time developing your mind to where you kind of kind
of come into contact with what you are thinking. Because
a lot of people say, well I don't remember thinking that.
That's true because they're not paying attention to what they're thinking.
(06:44):
Think about what you are thinking daily and think something
that you like in your life. Think about what you want,
not about what you don't want. That's always a good
way to say. Think about the things that you want
and not the things that you don't want, because those
are things like you may be creating for yourself and
(07:06):
creating that in your life. And we all individuals, we're
all responsible for ourselves. We're responsible for what we do
for what we don't do. We can't blame other people.
We can't blame mama, and we can't blame popular for
the things that we are not doing. We blame them
for the things that they didn't do for you because
(07:26):
they probably didn't know a lot of things to do,
so we can't blame them. When we make our own decisions,
you make your own decisions, and you make a decision
up to do this, you make a decision up to
do that, and you make all your decisions. So when
you're making your decisions, make sure you make the saying goes.
Make sure you make righteous decisions, decisions that are good
(07:48):
for you and will benefits you. And then when you
live a long time, you learn a lot more about life,
and you learn about a lot of things like I'm
thinking to you about, and that is that you are
in responsible. You're in control of your life and you're
responsible for it. You just need to know it. So
when you know it, then you practice better things for you.
(08:11):
I gotta do this for myself. It's just like it's
like giving. Give. Some people like to give, some people don't.
Most rich, wealthy people they give a lot of money
because they believe that the more they give, the more
money comes back to them. They believe that that's what
they think. Well, I don't know if that happened to
(08:33):
you if you don't have much money, because most of
the time you give money that you that you need.
If you're given money to somebody to help them, it's
the money that you mostly need for yourself. So there
should be a blessing for that and it should come
back and you should be blessed because of what you're giving.
So be careful about that as well. Give whene you can,
(08:55):
and don't give whenever. If you can't give, you know.
But if you're given, whatever you give out, it's supposed
to be coming back to you in your life. As
you get older, you think about you think about that,
and you think, you know, that did happen to me
quite a bit. So that's what it's all about with
common sense. That's how you're going to different things. Is
you're checking and remembering the things that happened to you
(09:19):
and the things that didn't happen to you, and why
it didn't happen to you because you didn't think about it,
you didn't practice, you didn't have that on your mind.
You had something else on your mind. And a lot
of time you be brainwashed so that you're not thinking
about the things that would benefit you the most. You're
thinking about things that don't benefit you. It is said
(09:39):
that our thoughts are creative, and I would say that's
true because everything you see, somebody thought of it and
somebody created it, whether it was airplane or the car,
or the television or even a lot of the medical
things we have. Lack of heart, they got blood, plasma.
They give you blood if your blood is short. They
(10:00):
got all these things. Somebody thought of all these things.
Somebody had to come up with the idea of it. Now,
you may not have done it, but you could have
come up with some other things that your mind if
you thought about using your mind like that. Most of
those people who discover the things and who come by
and who are creative, they started out early, or they
come from a family and that did that, that helped
(10:21):
them and taught them and directed them in that in
that way, so they're thinking it and they learn it.
You're not because you may not have a family that
did that. You may have a family who probably didn't
say anything or tell you anything to do that would
benefit you in any way. So what you think is
what you get now. You heard that before. What you
see is what you get. You know you heard that,
(10:44):
and I remember that along from a long time ago.
And people always say what you see is what you get,
So make sure you're seeing the good stuff. Says say,
life is wonderful, life is good. I forgot to put
my glasses on them. Put my glass on life is
good and life is wonderful. Right, he said that our
thoughts back, I said, what you think is what you
(11:06):
get now, which means we are responsible for our life experiences.
You know, you heard that thing about you're responsible for
your own life. Well, everybody's responsible for their own life.
So make sure you realize that and realize that and
think about it's what you're thinking. It's the choices that
(11:26):
you make. Now my advice for you, all for you.
If all that's true, If all what I said up
there it's true, then think good. That's all I think.
Thank good, and good will come to you, especially if
you want good. I hear people talk to me and
say say, well, I want this, I want that, I
need more money, I need all this. Well, if you're
(11:51):
thinking that you don't have it, you're not gonna have
it because you're thinking that you don't have it. Even
if you have money or money was available to you,
if you think you don't have it, you're not going
to have it. That's just what it is. But if
you think money comes to me easily and effortlessly, you
know something like that, deal with that and let the
(12:11):
money come to you or whatever it is. If you
think if you can believe it, then it will come,
you can receive it. So that's what it's saying. In
our daily life, we hear and see all kinds of
things every day, both good and bad. Especially you turn
on the TV. First thing. When I turn on my TV,
(12:32):
first thing I see and murdered death and all that
stuff like that. And I don't really don't care to
hear that, But that's what we do. If you go outside,
you pick up the newspaper or whatever it is, it's
got good and bad in it. So what we need
to do to make our life better, to make our
life what we wanted to be, is stop dealing with
(12:53):
the bad stuff. In church, I learned that as a
man thinking, so is he. We're the sum total of
our thinking. So there it is again. It's what we're
thinking that really matters. So just remember that and think
about I want good stuff. I want stuff that I
want to enjoy. I'm not going to think about what
(13:15):
I don't want. I want to spend more time thinking
about what I do want, because that's good. And this
is the sand that that I got. I didn't bring.
I didn't think that as somebody had thought of it.
It said, before fifty years in your life, we think
about the future. We think about all the wonderful things
(13:36):
we can do and everything. But they say after fifty years,
and I'm not sure this is the truth. We think
of life is too short because we didn't get to
do the things we do it. But if you're still living,
it's never too late. You can still do the things
that you want to do. You can still do things.
Just remember it's all about your mind. Everything that we
(13:58):
have to deal with it is in It's just common sense.
That's where it is. Not know where it not somewhere else.
Other people work and do what they have to do
because that was in their mind to do. So if
you're not doing what you want to do, then remember this.
Start thinking about what you want, research it, practice it,
(14:21):
get it in your mind, especially when you're young. Now
is the time for you to get I know, all
the things I've ever done in my life are the
things that I had in my mind to do. Early
in my life. I wanted to go to college and
that's what I did. So whatever happens, it leads you
right to where you want to go. Keep it in
your mind and you will be good. And that's what
(14:42):
my advice is for you. That's why I say it's
all common sense. Make common sense and your life will
be wonderful. Okay, I'm gonna take a break. I'm gonna
come back and We're gonna talk about fifty things that
you need to get rid of around your house, and
it's gonna be fun you really enjoyed. So make sure
you stay tuned and I'll be right back.

Speaker 1 (18:54):
Right, all right, all right, we can do a show
I like my music today. I want to talk about
fifty things to get rid of it. I probably won't
be able to cover all of them. Fifty things to
get rid of around your house. And you got a
lot of stuff I know I have, I just I
call the church. I just got rid of a couch
and two night stands that were in my room. Wasn't
(19:14):
using just in the way, but they were good pieces
of furniture and everything, So somebody can use it. But
we're gonna talk about decluttering everybody. You probably got a
whole lot of stuff in your house that you need
to get rid of, and it's and you want to
creating a cleaner and a more safer space in your home.
And sometimes when you get too much clutter, it can
(19:35):
be a fire hazard in your home, so we don't
talk about it. Also, uh, weighs on your mind these things.
I don't know why would? Why would? But psychologists saying
having all that clutter and staying in your house weighs
on your mind. And it doesn't matter. Suf that we
accumulate has a sneak way of bothering us medtally and
(19:55):
physically and emotionally. So if you're ready to go with
what no longer serves you. Ready to get rid of it?
Rerady not have it your ultimate list of fifty things
to toss. Here's something something right now, and this one
is about stuffing your clothes that you haven't worn. Ooh,
(20:17):
I have a lot of I just went into my closet.
My closet is that jam just like that with stuff
I don't even wear. I wear about four or five
shirts out of that group. That's it's But it's too
much in the clothes you haven't worn over a year.
You need to get those clothes out. You either give
them to somebody, call uh some of the church organizations
(20:40):
in your neighborhood, and get rid of that stuff. Somebody
could be using. That stuff. Was a lot of around
to doing shoes that hurt your feet. Why would you
be saving shoes that gonna hurt your feet. You got
to get rid of those assessionies that you never pair
anything with. Some match socks that have been I have
(21:02):
a drawer full of socks just like they're talking about.
I don't even know which was, which one is a which,
but I have some of up front all the time.
The rest of them I'm just holding and I know
I should get rid of all those socks stretch out
your arm. Uh for for women, sometimes they'll have it
a stain and strain our broad there's no good, no more,
(21:25):
but they still hold on to it. Old coats or
jackets that you've replaced. I got a closet full of
those of old clothes and old jackets. I know I'm
not gonna wear. Some of them don't even fit me anymore.
So I'm sure you've probably got the same thing word
out here, and all that scarves that you never I
never have a scarf. You know, maybe back these people
(21:47):
have scars, but in California, we never have them. Outdated
or ill filling formal wear. Now, let me tell you.
I had this tux seed them. So I said, I'm
gonna keep this tux seater. I bought this stuck set.
I'll keep it for whatever I have, you know, formal
get together or somebody getting married, or funerals or whatever
it is. I kept that. I kept that that uh,
(22:12):
that suit I kept it for. I don't know, a
formal suit. I kept it for I don't know how
many years. After a while, I got so tired of it,
I just got rid of it. So yeah, and I
never read. I haven't used it since anyway, So it
doesn't matter clothes that wear tags on it. Have you
got some clothes that still got the tags on it?
I do. I have clothes that still got tags on it. Unbelievable.
(22:40):
So I have to get rid of those suits. So
you probably got the same thing, so it probably get
rid of it. And there's things, and you're never going
to cover things that maybe in the other parts of
your house. So I wrote a little song said, if
you've got trouble in your kitchen about some stuff that
you can't minching, I got you go back without you asking. Together,
(23:03):
we're gonna get some satisfaction. Right, we're gonna get rid
of some of this crazy stuff, and we're gonna get
that rid of some of the problems. Like one of
the things. The first thing they have on that spices.
Do you have spices in your cabit that you know
you ain't gonna use that you've been had a long time,
(23:23):
You got to get I have it. I have a
thing full of spices, all kinds of spices. I get
the spices, I use them maybe once or twice, and
then I keep them. I don't know why I'm keeping
them because after you keep them for a certain amount
of time, they lose their potency. Anyway, they don't they're
not tasted good. So but you got a thing full
of spices. I got rid of a lot of my spices.
(23:45):
I need to get rid of the rest of them
that I don't use because I'm not gonna use them
anyway unless I have them a couple of certain dishes.
You know, I got all kind of spices, miss mass, templeware, leads.
I don't have that. Chip mugs and play I don't
have no chip mugs or chip plates in my house.
I usually get rid of them right away. So if
(24:05):
you have those, you need to get rid of those
and replace them with new stuff, because you know you're living,
and why not enjoy somevery utensils. I have plenty of
your tensils. Some of my spoons may be missing. I
think what happened to when people come to your house
and then you have something, and they'll go to the
trash bucket and they'll dump the stuff down, and sometimes
(24:29):
your tensil is in there, so you lose that. Your
appliances that you haven't used in years. I have one
which is a toaster. I don't use my toaster anymore.
Maybe you use your toaster. I don't. But a toaster
is something you can probably get rid of. Unhook it anyway,
because it's taking power away from you and running up
(24:49):
your electric bill when you hook up, because the electricity
will bleed into most of the products that are plugged
into the wall, So be careful about that. Cookbooks. Talk
about a cookbook, I got a hold about five of them,
slacked up like this. I never even use any of them.
I don't even look at for most of the time
(25:10):
when I cook something, I just start using the cooking
for mine, cooking for memory, or whatever it is. But
take it. But you know a lot of take our
menus I have. I had a drawer full of those.
I don't have those on the bottle captain things like that.
I don't have stained dish towles. Ooh, I hate a
(25:32):
stain dish style. You know when you go buy those
those little those paths you know that you wash dishes
would when they get dirty. I don't. I bought a
pack of twelve of them, so when they get dirty
or they get the spotsor on them, I throw them
in the trash. Because I don't like to see them.
I always think about the kitchen and being clean and
all that, so I make sure that I may keep
(25:54):
those paths clean there. So the only way to do it,
I bought it, Like I said, twelve package a package,
or twelve of them, so I can throw them away
when I get ready to broken a dull knives. Now
I don't. All the knives in my house are dull.
I used to have sharp knives, but if it sharp knives,
somebody's always getting nicked or cut, so I don't. I
(26:17):
don't have any more sharp knives in my head, and
I don't need them. I haven't missed them. I thought,
I say, I need a sharp knife, but you don't
need a sharp knife. If I have to cut something
that I need, I have a sharp knife. Just sharpen
a knife then and I'll use it to cut whatever
I need, like meat or whatever it is. But which
which is not a lot of meat for me. I
don't ease a lot of meat. But anyway, if that's what, okay, Now,
(26:41):
let's go to the to the drunk, to the place
where we store all this stuff. Do you have a
lot of dead batteries? Some people say I don't have
dead batteries in my house, but they said some people
have a lot of dead batteries. If the battery is
no good, I'll recycle it. I put it for recycling it.
You know pens, you got int well, I have a
lot of inkpins in my house. Is no longer. I
(27:02):
go pick up an inkpan and they don't even write,
you know, but I'm still holding on to it. I
don't know why I'm holding on to it, but they're
holding on to it. So it does have something to
do with your mind mentally. You know, random chargers and
cables that you don't recognize. I need. I got a
lot of that. I've got a lot of cables's got
USB on one side and something else on the other side. Man,
(27:24):
I don't need. I need to get rid of them
outdated business cards. I'll tell you about business cards. I
have a lot of business cards. But somebody told me
never throw away a business card. So now I've got
a drawer full of business cards. I probably need to
take all them business cards and throw away because some
of them were from back in the day. People I
(27:45):
haven't even met. They probably not even living anymore, or
whatever it is, or whatever they're doing. They may not
be in the business anymore. But I do have a
lot of business cards, so a lot of people save
those and they keep them. Old recipes that you don't need,
keys that you can't identify. I have keys in my house.
I have the keys on my ring I mean ring
(28:06):
on my keys. I have keys on my ring right
right right, And I have a lot of unnecessary keys,
and I have thought about taking them off, you know,
but I never do. I never get around to doing it.
So I got all these keys in my pocket. On
when I go get the mail, I got one key
for the mailbox and I got about five different other
keys that don't serve nothing. Rubber bands or twist tires
(28:33):
that you have, random screws. I have a lot of
screws and boats and things like that that I save.
I don't know why I'm saving them. I never use them,
but I'm saving them anyway, because what if and one
day I might need them. I always say one day
I might need either. One day I might, But so
far I haven't needed any of those. And what I
(28:53):
should think about it is if I if you need
all those, you should go to the store. So if
you're doing this. I'm telling you the things that I'm doing,
but if you're doing the same thing, you might need
to think about it. And I'm hoping I'm getting told you. Okay,
now expired to make up or skin products. Boy, you
can use They find a lot of that in the bathroom.
(29:14):
And if you have a cabinet, you look under that cabinet,
you got stuff that you're never gonna use, all kinds
of stuff, and them creams and things that almost dried
up and they separated. Some of them have separated. You
you signed the cream part moved to the top and
water's on the bottom. So you know you don't use them,
(29:34):
but you still got them that for some reason. Other
people that keep them. People keep old lipstick and all
that stuff. You know, you don't need all that. Get
rid of all that stuff. And if you need really
lit sick, but you're gonna get to go to the
store and get the one that's that's present, that's fresh
and everything and then look good on you anyway. You know.
(29:55):
Oh okay, now, sample size tall seat that you never use.
I don't have anything old razors. I did have a
lot of old razors and stuff that I kept up
in my house. But I got rid of all those
I did another program that made it reminded me of it.
But you need to realize this. Get rid of all
those old razors, clean that out, make room for everything,
(30:17):
for your life to be much more comfortable, and you'll
be and you know it. Just it just stopped you
from your dealing with emotional issues that you don't need
to do it. Empty your bottles of shampoo. I don't
need shampoo, as you can tell right and see my head.
I don't use them. But I know a lot of
people have have shampoo and they have it in the shower.
(30:40):
They leave it there for days and days, a lot
of a lot of containers for shampoo, and I guess
body wash and all that stuff, and you just leave
it in there. Sometimes you get rid of a body
wash and you like the body wash well well, so
you keep the container in there. And sometimes I tell myself,
I want to keep this so I'll remember what I
(31:01):
can do. I want to buy the same thing the
next time, so if I keep it there, i'll remember it.
Other than that, if I go to the store, I
may not remember what it is. So but that's not
a good idea. Get rid of all that stuff dried
up nail polish I've seen we had. I had a
whole bag full of that dried up nail polish, one
(31:21):
thing from my wife when she was here. But she's
not here anymore. But the nail polish, it was there.
It's in the draws. I go look in the draws everywhere,
in nice stands, everywhere, old old, old nail polish. So
get rid of that worn out toothbrushes. I don't have
any worn out toothbrushes because if a toothbrush is already
(31:44):
worn or somebody use it, I'll try to get rid
of it just in case anybody make a mistake and
use it again. Now, heir, tie, that's for girls anyway.
Products you tried once but she didn't like it, but
then you keep it. I've done that too. I'll have products.
I've tried it once, I didn't like it, but I
(32:05):
kept it. I don't know why I kept it. I
guess because I paid for it, and I figured it
costs money, so I hold on to it. But it's
no good. So a lot of that stuff in our house,
we need to get rid of it. Like I said,
I'm gonna have fifty things I'm talking about I passed
mad of thirty of them. I'm going through it real
fast so that I can get travel bags that will
(32:25):
falling apart. Have you ever had one of the mold
suitcases that you're having your house and you keep holding
on to it without this my suitcase. You know, I'm
gonna take a trip one day, and when I take it,
I'm gonna get I have much suitcase already. Well, you
don't need to do that. If you have an old bag,
(32:46):
old suitcase, you might to get rid of it. Things
have changed now in traveling, in space. They've got new
different types of suitcases. You may need to get a
new one because what's gonna happen with that old one.
It's going to fall apart. And when they throw all
them bags up in the airplane like that, they throw
them in there and then when you get it again,
(33:08):
and your clothes will probably be hanging out of it.
So get rid of that old suitcase. You don't they
didn't go buy your new one. Get your now. I'm
giving you some good advice on that. Okay, now this
you know the items you heard it before. Just in case,
I'm keeping this just in case. Old magazines and newspapers.
(33:32):
Boy on my night staying. I had a stack of
them this high, all kinds of old books and stuff
like that. I don't know why I was keeping it.
I was keeping it because I say, I'll go back
and read it. I never went back and read any
of those things. So I took a whole thing and
stuff out about a week ago when I first saw
this article. I didn't do the show, but I started
(33:55):
changing myself. So I said to they, I don't want
to do it because I wanted to do something that
was sort of fun rather than something serious. Look like,
we have so many serious problems that deal with so
I said, let's do it with something that's lightweight, something
that we can have some fun with today and really
enjoy and get our life off on a good foot
of having happiness and instead of dealing with all the
(34:19):
trauma that we have in the world today. Anyway, what
about books that you enjoy or don't read? Again, I
have stacks of books because I love books. I have
a lot of books. A lot of it I've gotten
rid of. I have to get rid of more of them.
I claim I'm going to read them. I'm not. But
some of them were great reads when I read them,
and that's why I keep holding on to them, and
(34:41):
for no reason at all. So if you got a
lot of books in your house, you know, donate them
to somebody who can use them to these fixing places
like that. Somebody will use it. A lot of people
may read those books, or people looking for them title
books from back in the day, or somebody just want
to read them. I just want to read books, you know,
because reading is very important for you to do. A
(35:04):
lot of people don't want to read, but books are
very important. But if you have some books that you
won't read or don't read, you might think about passing
them on to somebody else who might read them. Gifts
that you feel good about not liking. Now, I never
had a gift that I didn't like because for me,
(35:24):
I always think about what does a gift mean? Now,
people that are giving me stuff that I would never
god or will never want or whatever it is, but
they give it to me. And when they give it
to me, I always think about they like me and
that's why they give it to me. So I always
like the gift. So me say, well, I don't like
this or what it is? A gift it's a gift,
(35:46):
so why wouldn't you like it? So why would you
feel good to you about not liking it? You know,
I like it whatever it is you give me. Somebody
give me oh stepy three. I got shirts and jackets
that I'm not gonna wear because I don't like them.
I have gifts. Some of the gifts to give it
to me don't fit me right or whatever it is,
but I still keep them, my hold on to them.
(36:07):
For a while, I realized that I have to get
rid of them. So the people don't really care. They
don't any blow them, don't even remember that they even
gave it to you. But I'm saying, if I have
a whole gift, I never judge it. I think about
what it meant and why the person would give it
to me in the first place. It's because they were
expressing love for me, So I saw I looked at it.
(36:31):
Craft supplies that you'll never use, outdated CDs, DVDs, and
our old phone. Now I do have. I have a
lot of older but older CDs. I keep those. I'm
not getting rid of them. DVDs someone I got rid
of them. I don't have a lot of them, but
I have a look a few of them of like
(36:52):
of the old song R and B records and things
like blues and things that I keep, pop records, all kinds.
I keep some of those, so sometimes I'll listen to
them if I'm in that mood. But I don't care
to keep so many of them that I have a
whole you know, I used to have a whole stock
of them, of CDs that had I had one of
(37:13):
those those holders stood about about three feet high, and
I put all my CDs in that world. I don't
have that many anymore. I have maybe about four or
five that I keep that I like. So you might
want to get rid of all of those, or you
might want to keep them. Who knows it. Some people say,
I'm keeping this gonna be worth something later on in life.
(37:33):
Maybe it will, who knows. So if you want to
keep them and don't don't listen to me, tell her
you get rid of it, you know, going in to
keep keep them if you want to. Now, this is
one that done it broken, items that have been You've
been meaning to fix it for you and never fix
it broke, and it's broken, but you still hold onto
it and you still have dreams that I'm gonna fix
(37:54):
this one day. I'm gonna fix so you don't get
rid of it and you keep holding onto it. That's
really that's that's one that you that that that I
do often, I'm going pretty fast. I might get rid
of all these things. Then decoration that no longer fits
your style. I have that too in my house. I
have different types of decoration that don't fit my style.
(38:17):
So I have like, I have stuff in here that
I need to get rid of because my furniture style
has changed, and these problems that some things I have
some like books, no I have like a little standing
behind my door is outdated. It's old time stand stand.
I need to get rid of it. My long table.
(38:39):
I have a long table and on side you know
you have these long tables. I put alcohol in it
and everything in the bottom of it, so that I
need to get rid of it. Update. So, but it's
a beautiful piece of furniture. It costs a lot of
money into time. So then you figure out I don't
want to get rid of it for that reason. Unused
furniture that a space. I've gotten myself rid of all
(39:03):
of that. I had so much of that in my
house you couldn't hardly move. So if you got a
lot of that stuff in your house, unused furniture that
you know you're not going to use it anyway, somebody
might can use it, So give it to a thrift
place or do whatever you want to win it. Toys
and games that your kids are outgrown. Now some people
(39:24):
always save all the toys and games just for nostalagier reason.
I remember this bear, teddy bear or something that you
had a child, that child loved it. You want to
keep it for just for memory stake. I guess that's
that's all that is for, just you remember.
Speaker 8 (39:43):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (39:44):
But the days back in the days, you know it's
you know you have that, but you might want to
be careful and get rid of stuff of that cmnamonal items.
And that's what I was talking about, that you're keeping
out of obligation and not loves and that that's what
I was just saying. Those cinnamon items you have, you
(40:06):
some of them you keep, some of them you don't like.
I have a lot of pictures. I was a cameraman
most of my life and I have a lot of
pictures that that I have. I have a suitcase full
of them a picture. I don't know if I should
throw the pictures away. We never look at them anymore.
Every once in a while my kids will come down,
we'll look at a few of them, and nobody has
(40:29):
a really interest in them. But I got all these pictures.
But I took these pictures because back in the day,
it was fun doing it, and I thought, well, well,
when we get older, you have a picture all these things.
But people don't pay much attention to that anymore, and
I'd like to used to anyway. So the pictures are
not going. Okay. Well, the thing I did, I did
(40:53):
almost all of it. Okay, unused furniture that makes up space,
unused furniture. I think we've covered that already, you know,
unused furniture. I don't have, like any unused furniture. I
just had in a brand new air condition to put
in at the splitter. And the splitter is different from
(41:14):
the forced air air conditioner. I had the forced air
heat and my air forced air. The air conditioner was
thirty three years old. So if I bought the and
the and the processor went out, so if I would
buy another process that cost him about three thousand dollars,
then it's gonna cost HI about another two or three
thousand dollars to get it installed and buy the free
(41:39):
on that goes into it. So I decided, well, I'm
gonna buy a splitter. So I bought this splitter. It's
a twenty four thousand BTU unit. It sets outside my window,
and I have a long thing. It's not going through
the through the ducks anymore. It's coming right straight from
(42:01):
the unit into the house. But it only cost me
to put it in. Instead of Fay paying seven thousand
dollars for one or eight thousand dollars for the Force
air heat, I only this only cost me twelve hundred,
and I'm happy about it. So I say, oh, man,
that's great. It's great, great, great. So I'm saving a
(42:26):
lot of money. I'm saving a lot of money getting
this new air to this. So if you happen to
have your home that you had an old air conditionering,
if you can't afford to pay, I had my neighbor
paid up to twelve thousand dollars to get their new heat.
But they say, if these old heaters, if you paid
that much money, they're probably gonna break down again. So
(42:48):
you don't want to do that, and I didn't want
to do that. But if you sell the house, you
might want to make sure you may not do the
same thing I'm doing. But you have to consider it
if you're gonna see it all right now. The next
thing is toys. Remember toys or games that your kids
are outgrown? You know, you used to have all kinds
of toys and stffing like that. Most of that stuff
(43:12):
now I've gotten rid of it. At one time, I
think we had a lot of stuff in there. We
even had old bicycles. You have the bicycles in the garage,
and you kept you had about four or five Well
I had five kids, so I have a lot of
junk that A lot of it was not junk, but anyway,
stylar stuff to get rid of. So sometimes you have
(43:33):
that to get rid of it. So if you had
a lot of kids and you're downsizing a lot of
this stuff, people can use it. You had a lot
of people, can you know? You take it, like I say,
take it to the goodwill or somewhere people can use
it and benefit from it rather than sitting there rotten
and getting older and rusty and older and rusty and
(43:53):
nobody's using it, so I'm I'm poor. Sentimental items that
you keep out of obligation and not love. I don't
understand that one. Sentimental items that you keep out of
obligation but not love. I think of and a certain
(44:17):
feeling that you have about it, and that's why you
feel good about it. But anyway, I've done real good
on this show. Anyway, I want to I got a
guess on the phone, so right now I want to
see what that get. What the guest's gonna say about it?
A caller? Are you there, Hey, Grandpa, how are you doing.
(44:40):
I'm doing real fine. I'm doing real good. I'm talking
about the things that we need to get rid of
out of our house. And it might be a good
idea because Christmas is coming up and you want to
get all the clutter. I'm talking about unclutter in your
space where you live.
Speaker 9 (44:54):
Well, I got so many things on my list. I
don't see how you just had fifty things to talk about.
I got soap, I.
Speaker 8 (45:06):
Got I got tiny bars of soap. Whenever when you
get down to the last bar soap with the last
bit of the soap that you use, and you just
have about five thousand of those little soap things bluff
all around your tube, all around your waste baskets.
Speaker 1 (45:30):
I know about it.
Speaker 9 (45:32):
And sometimes people take all that soap and put it
in a uh, in a net and then they use
the soap like it's a whole soap bar.
Speaker 1 (45:44):
Yeah, all those little all those little.
Speaker 9 (45:46):
Pieces of soap. Then the other thing is it's toothpaste too.
I got about five thousand toothpaste toos toothpoot two paste
tunes of nineteen fifty two.
Speaker 1 (46:07):
Some of the more toothpaste that's half empty that I
didn't finish.
Speaker 9 (46:12):
The thing, you know, one of the things you don't
throw it is the roll to the toilet paper. Yeah, dude,
you have about five thousand of those in your house.
You ain't gonna never use because there ain't gonna be
no tolet paper.
Speaker 1 (46:26):
On Yeah, yeah, that's true.
Speaker 9 (46:31):
And then and then on my computer, I got so
much junk on my computer. My computer's telling me, no,
we ain't gonna do nothing no more until you get
rid of this junk.
Speaker 1 (46:42):
Now. The trick to that, yeah, Now, the trick.
Speaker 9 (46:47):
To that is that once I get rid of the junk,
I don't know what I'm I got rind of the
fouls that I need.
Speaker 1 (46:57):
Yeah, yeah, I hate you. Yeah, I understand it, and
I have that on my computer too, but I've been
working on my delete all that stuff on my computer.
Speaker 9 (47:11):
Well, because your computer continues to update your drive to
give you updates automatically, and you're filling up your hard
drive with space and you not even thinking about it.
So yeah, so so you may not even need those updates,
(47:31):
but how.
Speaker 1 (47:32):
Do you know?
Speaker 9 (47:33):
So you give rid of all the updates, and because
you know it, you can't operate the computer.
Speaker 1 (47:39):
Yeah. Well, anyway, I thank you for calling. I think
we've got about a minute more time here left here

reflects life that you want to live. That's all it is.
And it gives you a less space and uh and
then less emotional stuff to think about each time you
release one less thing to clean or mannage or worry about.
(48:21):
That's what it is. Plus donating gently, and he was
talking about soap. Usually when I finished soap, when I
get down the words, you can hardly do it that
little bit and slipper that is left. I had a
bucket that I was throwing it in and I was
saving it, and I thought, a hert, I'm gonna save
all this soap like this. I don't know what I
was saving it for, but I had a bucket of
(48:41):
soap after a while and I had to really get
rid of that. So I don't know what you're doing.
Get rid of you all the stuff that you don't need.
Release one thing clean and manage your pa keep your
house neat and clean, and you'll be It's just uncluttering
and uncluttering gives you less emotional things think about. Okay,
