Ya know, I'll be honest with ya. I never think about it. Grab a length of
it and give a yank. If it breaks too easily, I believe I'd toss it. No,
that's not honest. If it was a good color and it was almost full, I'm pretty
sure I'd have a hard time just tossing it.
Maybe even if it wasn't a good color...
OK, I can't throw stuff away.
Hi, I'm Cindy and I hoard.

I wonder if I can just do 12 steps and have done with all of it. No mucking
about with each individual little picadillo. Just take care of the whole
lot at once.

I am so impressed with how tidy your room is. Wow, you can really see all
the beautiful colors of thread on display. It is like a work of art!
