We were talking about cleaning out our storage area in the WCQR building today during staff meeting. Soon, the proclamation came out that Mike Perry for our Family Friendly Morning Show is a pack rat. I gotta say I'm on the same page as he is. It's sad, but for some reason I find myself holding on to things with the thoughts of "I'll need that sometime soon...or as soon as I get rid of it, I'll need it."
Thus I make my case for being a pack rat with this story...
Ruth Ferrell donated one of her husband's shirts to Goodwill as she was making room in her closets. As far as the shirt goes, she never liked the red-and-black checkered flannel, and her husband rarely wore it.
But she had forgotten that Walter Ferrell had stashed $2,000 - the couple's savings for a trip to Europe - in a pocket in the shirt. They had stashed it there on a whim.
When her husband asked her about the missing shirt, Ruth realized that she had given away more than a piece of detested clothing.
The panicked couple called Goodwill and a worker found the cash. In happiness that all was not lost, they gave the associate a $100 reward.
Okay, so it may not make a clear cut case for being a pack rat, BUT (not that I will ever have $2000 lying around) it will make me check my pockets & use the bank!
Have a great day!
