Another idea for dealing with something that is not your style but prompts too many memories: keep a part of the whole. (i.e. keep a piece of china, but not the whole set). If you use that one item...
The beer works well. If you just can't bear to kill them, try asking your hair stylist to save your hair clippings the next time you get your hair cut. Sprinkle them thickly around the base of the ...

Recently I read an article about propagating moss in an area. Since moss's "leaves" are...
