Time for some changes!

We gnash our teeth, wring our hands and worry ourselves bald when we have to make those difficult decisions that require our replacing household and personal items that have grown near and dear to us…but sometimes, we just have to address some stuff!!!

When the votive ‘candle’ is nothing but a scorched container holding a black wick attached to a small tin disc, unless your profession is candle-maker…its gone; let it go!

When your toothbrush can be used as a feather duster it’s time to get another toothbrush!

When your washcloth can be mistaken for your shoeshine rag, it’s your shoeshine rag!

When your favorite shirt is sized L and the last time your wife bought you a shirt it was size XXL, that Large can’t be your favorite, no mo’…ever!

If the expiration date on the Vick’s vapor rub is 19 anything, you got to let it go!

If your aerosol spray deodorant is nothing more than an armpit hair dryer, damn it, go buy some more deodorant; that can is empty!

If a guest in your home mistakes your hair brush for a lint brush, it’s time…to change your shampoo, your hair brush and, possibly, your hygiene habits!

If you have accumulated several containers of dental floss from your dentist, you are NOT following instructions; use the floss, for goodness sake!

When your dog walks over to the pillow you lay on to watch TV, sniffs it and then whines, wash it; it stinks.  If he growls, toss it; he thinks there’s another dog in the house!

And finally, that pair of 10-year-old dress shoes that you love so much and swear you will wear regardless of the fact that they were out of style when you bought them from the DAV Discount Store six years ago:  If the only response you get from the man at the Black-owned shoe repair, the Chinese-owned shoe repair AND the Mexican-owned shoe repair is raised eyebrows, it’s about to cost you, friend!  Let ‘em go!
