Hey Scotzoidman!
Those Depression era parents really taught us well, didn't they??
I think their motto must have been "You never know when you're going to need it." I swear my mother never threw anything away!! And of course neither do I!:D
The only way I've gotten rid of the clutter, hers and ours, is as a result of 2 separate housefires, 11 years apart. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone, but it sure did get rid of a lot of stuff!!:(

I have a small collection of v.w. stuff my prize is my 68 ghia waiting to be rebuilt

Jay, my love, man of my dreams, stud of my soul, keeper of my fantasy car, when are you going to finish her.......she's a beauty;) I can see you now bent over he with your Patrick Swayze-like ass......... oh a girl can always dream....... I think that is the sexiest pic I have seen posted ;) <jk boys>

it will be about two years unless I win the loterey and can work all day and night on her not to mension buy all the parts sorry she isn't a convertable

Jay she is perfect! No need for her to be topless:)

I think we can learn alot from people by what they collect.

Randy- If you ever find it, let me know. How lovely to think of me!

Lilith- would have never pegged you as a tescup girl! Then again, you wouldn't think of china and fragile dishes with me! The victim thing I figured. Just goes to show the diversity of the personality.

I collect anything and everything :D just joking actaully I am a very bad packrat trying to improve my ways..... But I do love my Snowbabies heres a pic of some of them.

Phone cards and sexy internet pictures (greetigs to the lot of anonymous pic collectors) and pictures of pretty or interesting faces.
About the character: It started with the faces collection because I wanted to find out what on a face is the interesting thing to me actually. Later I continued with the other pics because it grew like a little addiction. The phone cards are nice things with nice pictures, I simply like watching them.

Sprinkles, it's worse than you can believe, a 50s rancher w/a full basement, 2 mini barns, an attic stuffed to the rafters, & still renting a 10 X 20 storage unit... I'm drowning in .... STUFF!!!

I have a collection of alcohol bottles that I've emptied w/ many friends over the years, the old Arizona tea bottles(but the odd non-tea flavors), and I collect little boxes, tins, and just little things to put stuff in.

I have a lifetime of unrelated odd junk items that had some significance somewhere along the way that I call memorabilia. i.e. 7” Dia. Piston from a Lycolming radial aircraft engine, Western Union telegraph key, femur bone of a hog (I think), a 12-1/2” [full round] conifer-base Polypore (mushroom), etc. :confused:
Oh ya, Maps,.....lots a maps!

The closest I have to a “collection” is the 3 monkeys that just started to accumulate. I now have between 75 to 80 of the things.



(I ALWAYS WANTED TO COLLECT PANTIES, BUT I KEEP EATING THEM!):p :p :p :rolleyes:

"Forgetter's getting better!"
 

I forgot a pic. (sorry)

I forgot too!
 

Here are just a couple of my teacups! It's a pretty eclectic collection. I probably have over 80 and have broken almost that many LMAO:D (like a bull in a china shop):D

...and more of the little buggers!
 

"...help, they're comming in the windows."

I collect several things. Sheet Music going all the way back to WWI, Baseball Caps, (but not teams, just businesses and sayings), hat pins, Lyrics to really ancient ballads, and Sci-fi paperbacks. The wife collects tin boxes, crystal candelholders, oil lamps, and unfinished needlepoint projects
