Do you prefer the simple life with less things like this?

I just got rid of some stuff that had accumulated in a wooden fruit bowl that I keep on the counter.  I had receipts that were five years old.  I didn't even look any further...I just poured all of the stuff into the trash.  There were little plastic pieces that I have no idea what they are.  I will probably need one of them in three or four months.  Life.

I do love to have a magnifying glass close by though.
