Nostalgia purchase: GE Electric Skillet

[gottahaveahoove]

One problem is.... space.

If you have a LOT of it, it can be bad, take cellars, for example. If you have the space, you can fill it. I make a lot of iced tea. One day, the 'carafe' fell and broke. At a thrift store, I saw a brand new, never used one, $10.00. So, it came home. Then, I saw another, exact one. Now, I can make multiple pitchers at one time. Those skillets are great. They were made to last.
So, if you see one, especially on 'senior day'.............. why not? You'll always have a 'spare'.
I have several, OK, too many things in my cellar(s). There are 4, and I'm trying to get rid of things every garbage day.Last night, an extra bag went out. Feels good.

My space is very limited because I have so much of my late father's stuff. He had a basement crammed with antique toys and most of it is now at my house and in a rented storage unit that is costing me $170 a month. I was just beginning the process of getting my house in order, two years after moving in when Mom and Dad decided to downsize. I had wanted to set up a little workshop in my barn where I could tinker on projects like vacuum cleaners and such, but that has all been taken up with his stuff. I need to get back to selling it on eBay but it takes so much time and effort. Part of me wants to just have a massive auction and get rid of a big chunk of it in one go, even if I don't make as much. I have nothing invested in it so it's 100 percent profit, any way I slice it. As a result, I am forcing myself to be somewhat selective about what I accumulate and I am often hard on myself about purchasing things I don't need.
