A journey into cleaning up a big pile of..... hoard

My daughter discouraged me from this post, but I feel it is an important one for me (and I rarely listen to good advice anyhow)
The
photo says it all - a rusted brassiere hooking section - the hooks and
wires. It may be time to retire this undergarment. But it has not
fallen apart completely. A big part of holding on is the deeper
question - why would anyone put a non-stainless metal into an object
that is going to be washed multiple times over many years?
And
the next question - why would asking a silly question and never getting
the answer STOP ME FROM DISCARDING THE OFFENDING UNMENTIONABLE?
Yet
by including this item in my blog, my daughter - yes, the one who
advised me not to discuss this - informed me that the inventor of the
strap closure was one of my favorite...authors! Mark Twain!
So
by forcing myself to deal with the irrational retention of very ugly
clothing, I have, once again learned something about the world....and
about myself.
And
I said goodbye to the rusty bras. Donated, of course, because, some
woman, somewhere, might be crazy enough to want an old, rusty used brassiere next to her skin. Wait, that woman could be.....me.
