Ohhh no....you are wrong about Phyllis Diller's advise.    IMO, one of her best quotes was "You can turn these knobs all day, but the face won't change!    aaahhhh, aaahhhh, aaahhhh   (Phyllis laughing)

As for clearing out,  just open the car trunk and throw it in.  Then drive to the thrift shop and throw it out.

I"m leaning to clean items when I get them, not after I took the picture.

I also learned that a messy desk will make me crabby.  So I cleaned and hope to keep it that way.

We wasted four hours searching for truck keys, a battery charger tand calling my husand who was on a plane to Florida to keep our truck from being towed away.

I was the Clean Desk maniac when I worked as a senior editor.  I even put reference books back after I had used them.  People would leave a pen on my desk and I'd glare at it. 

The biggest reason being that if I let up, at all, my desk would be almost immediately avalanched with piles of paper, disks and books, because keeping up with the work was like shoveling sand against the tide.  Fortunately, I had enough room.  Here at home...not enough room - and it does make me crabby, yes.

"Dear Husband" or "Darling Husband" - sometimes meant ironically but in my case it's sincere LOL.
