Had to laugh....just got out of the shower, while drying off, I for some reason started counting all the stuff I used.

5 items!!!! Husband had only 2 items he used when he was alive, i haven’t taken them away yet. But thought it was pretty funny I use 5 items and he used 2. How many do you all use???
