I keep everything

Provided that I don't lose it first.

I have a file full of receipts. Not just any receipts, but big purchases. And by big I mean anything that I would place under the category of furniture. Or computers.

Or lamps.
And alarm clocks.
and my electric razor (and the trimmer as well).
... and my cast iron gum ball machine.

Basically anything that came with a warranty and/or a manual. (Including my Progressive steamer basket)
I have a receipt for when I framed my Howling II movie poster, the Future Kill movie poster (with H.R. Giger art), and the M.C. Escher The Eye print. You know. Back in June of '94.

So the point of this post is that I'm cleaning out the receipt file.
No. Not that kind of cleaning; are you INSANE*?
I'm moving the 1/2 page sized or smaller receipts and manuals to another section of my file drawer because it's full going sideways and not full going length-wise.

*Yes. I was born this mad. Yes, you are still reading me. :)

I would just like to note that my bed, purchased on 4/11/98, still has 4 years left on its 15yr warranty.

I just thought that this completely trivial fact about nothing that I for some reason found funny/cool/weird/worthless enough to share with the rest of you who still believe me to somehow be sane simply had to posted.

I have stuck in my head as an ending to this madhouse of a post a likewise mad woman (Moira Brown from Fallout 3) quipping in her high-pitched overly-happy voice, "Happy Hunting!" This of course has absolutely nothing to do with the receipts in my drawer what-so-ever, unless you count the time I spend looking through the actual booklets and marveling at my own madness method for receipt retention.

EDIT: Because I had to: I still have the instructions for using the Sophist-O-Twist, which look like are these.
