Here is what I do when I am in a pinch and I need a clean purse : I take all the garbage (read papers), throw them in a big zip lock bag, and label them as 'Purse contents such and such date' and then, well stash it somewhere and keep meaning to go through it on some date in the near future - I might as well come clean and admit that it never happens to be near! But it gives me great peace of mind knowing that nothing is lost. If I really need something, I can go through my zip log baggies.
Today, I cleaned three such bags and in one of them, I found this slip of paper with a phone number and no name next to it. That slip has been bothering me since then. No its not that big a deal, its some no. from somewhere, god knows whose it is, throw it, be done with the damned piece of paper. Fine, I did exactly that, the problem is the thought behind it.
Why would someone write a phone no. with no name next to it? What was I thinking at the time I did that? I am obviously smarter than that. Did I think it was so important there was no way I could forget whose number it was? Right! that was a good theory. Was it someone so unimportant I did not want to keep their no.? Then why bother taking it down in the first place. Any half brained dimwit would know to write the whole information, but apparently not me.
And then, to top it off, I am thinking I am going senile, coz I am worrying about the stupid piece of paper.
Argh!!

Your post brought a smile to my face! We are the same, my dear, becasue I do the exact same thing--toss everything in a baggie (and not even date it) and though mean to go over it, that day never comes.
Re: the no name number-did you toss it? If not, how about giving it a call to see who it belongs to?

Shoot! that makes way too much sense, no wonder I did not think of it. yes, I threw it. :)
