THROWOUT FOR THE DAY: Okay, I don't think it'll ever be a throw out, but I am (sniff, sniff) going to have to (sob, sob) replace my scriptures (WAAAAAAAAA). They are so very old (bought in 1989) and have even been chewed on by a dog (may he rest in peace!) No, I won't throw them away, but they are being shelved for a newer set. This was not done willingly and probably wouldn't have been done at all, except that at work (Deseret Books), I was trained to put engraving on scriptures, and I messed up on a Quad. I felt so bad, I bought the Quad (30% off) and am engraving my name over the mess up. I didn't have to buy the Quad, but I realized this was a good time to replace my old set.
So my THOUGHT FOR THE DAYs are going to be some of the quotes and poems I've lovingly written in my scriptures - share them with those I love, then shelve them with my Quad that Tony bought me many, many more years ago.

I'm glad you are saving it. The way you mark your scriptures it is like a mini journal.
I was going to say... isn't it blasphemy, or something close to it, to throw away scriptures no matter how old they are?
Either way I am glad you're not going to. MICD is right about them being close enough to a journal of sorts.
I had scriptures like that. My husband's 16 year old neice took them to use for seminary, and with her on back to New Zealand... so mine are long gone. I'm not too sad, because she probably could use them more than I could. But the fun thing is breaking in a new set.
