Junk in the bunk!

Oct 17, 2011

Dear Carolyn,

My husband is almost a hoarder. I mean, his truck is full of junk. It takes 20 minutes to clear off his bunk just to sit on it! I nag, beg, threaten but he refuses to throw out what he says is his “stuff.”

What exactly is the difference between “stuff” and “junk?”

Patrice

Dear Patrice,

Junk=stuff we throw away. Stuff=junk we keep.

Happy to help!

I’m just say’n,

Carolyn
