   not true there either. Neighbor is in healthcare…plenty have, either from reactions or from getting it anyway. Now that the government seems to be losing their grip and people need to get back to work (9 Million jobs available), they scream “VARIANT”…and nothing works for it apparently, your current “vaccine” is iffy at best, etc. Hmmm…

   I’m over 50 and my mom has said that to me. It’s an old joke, but not a joke. We had curfews, if something happened just make a phone call, eat well, don’t fill up on junk, etc. Maybe that was just the mom’s of the 60’s and 70’s…

   MIL’s house…5 HOUSES worth of tupperware. Literally 9 Salt and Pepper shaker sets (those white ones with the S&P on them). 12 cake savers, if there was a piece of tupperware, she had it…AT LEAST 4 of them. Some of it we sold (who knew vintage tupperware was desirable, even in poor condition), some was just totally destroyed, but “it’s still good”. Containers? She saved EVERY SINGLE take out container that was plastic, every microwave meal container, etc. What is shown here is the starter set…she literally had over 3,000 containers. She would take EVERY container from our house, we’d throw it away, she’d go through our garbage and pull it out. We stopped counting after 2500…we FINALLY have finished the cleanout of the house, which is good…we sign the sale papers next week.

   Yes, they do. I got chapter one the other day matter of fact. 400 Rail Cars, 5000 Semi’s. All on Blu Ray. Something like 1.4 Trillion pages for chapter one. They Said that’s the short one….little known fact…the instructions change by the millisecond….fact.

   Have you ever been to an art gallery? I saw a painting of a black square, it hung in the Detroit Institute of Arts…value “$200,000”. What about the Barnett Newman (the one in Iron Man 2 that is taken down and replaced by the Iron Man print). That’s valued at between $30M and $40M….I’ve seen kids paint that, but yea…

   I honestly thought he was going to say something about the wine budget. I know ours went through the roof. What we saved in dining out went right into the wine budget. Our recyclers always laugh when they pick up our recyclables. LOL

   assuming it is “specialty”. We currently have 5 sets of 16 place settings each china. OMG I’m ready to use them for target practice. We have ours, my wife’s mom’s wedding AND 25th anniversary china, her grandmother’s china and her mother’s grandmother’s china. Her mom was always “These are such high end pieces”. Took them to 4 different places (after I had looked them up and found they were ‘run of the mill’ items), and all said “no deal, we have thousands”. My wife doesn’t want to toss them, but even Goodwill, Veteran’s, St. Vinnie and Salvation Army just have no place for the stuff. So here I sit with 15 VERY heavy moving boxes FULL of China that is never used. :(

    Oh does this ring so true. Cleaning out my Mother-In-Laws house for the past 8 months. She had 7 sets of “Fine China”…Hers, Her Mothers, He Grandmother’s AND her Great Grandmothers. She also had “Anniversary” China of hers, her mother’s and her grandmothers. We had it all appraised..nothing worth saving. My wife was “But this means so much”…I was “You NEVER SAW THIS STUFF UNTIL NOW”…My Mother-In-Law was a hoarder, and now I’m dealing with the “EVERYTHING must have had a reason”…ummm..no…We finally started using our china and her Grandmother’s China on a weekly basis, but OMG, so much stuff…
