Had store to redeem in next town over, got mixers, blenders things like that.

shelf grabber thing. i was leaving an estate sale w/ a extra bag full off stuff + a worker there asked if i'd take it. ooh. i kept cast iron bits i could take off my grandparent's old gravity heating system when it had to be replaced. i gave away 1 to a cousin + another to my other cousin. i still have the old reciept for it. it was bought used. early 1900's. best heat ever.

Other than that, my hoard of physical media.

I have thousands of vinyl records, compact discs, DVDs, VHS tapes, computer programs on floppy disc, and books. Lots and lots of glorious books.

Someday, maybe archeologists will excavate the area where my house used to sit and find a treasure trove of artifacts.

Waiting for my kids to decide what to do with them.

leaning against the wall because I don't know what else to do with it. I also have a clock on duck feet, a brass figurine of a house fly that opens up, a painted wooden cat with wings hanging from the ceiling, and a very large oil painting of an Atlantic puffin.

110 lb. Quartz cluster

I have 8 original paintings by Shirley A. Mason (aka Sybil - from '70's book and TV movie fame), along with a number of prints from the "Hidden Paintings" collection.

Shirley was my father's 3rd cousin, and I was born in the southeastern Minnesota town (i.e. Dodge Center) where she grew-up.

You can read all about the paintings at my website www.hiddenpaintings.com

As for weird stuff, I don't have any, really. I do have my mother's doll from when she was a girl & it's kind of creepy looking. It has real human hair. I've willed it to a friend who wants to turn it into a creepy Halloween doll.

Doll the way she is---sort of old Wordly. But I can see it made into a Halloween Doll

to the big house for child molesting and such)

for it at Subway.

About 4 1/2 feet long. Octagonal shape.

Several of us from the air base went on this adventure. There are stations along the way, and at each station, you get a symbol burned into your stick - kind of like branding cattle. We got to station 8 of 10 and had to turn back because of rain and lightning.

We could see Mt. Fuji from the base. It is a truly spectacular sight.

your life has been. I love the idea of branding symbols into the Fuji stick at each stop.

It is an unusual type of bassoon developed by the New York Philharmonic principal bassoonist, William Polisi. It has a deep, rich tone.

I play but only for my own enjoyment. Although since getting long covid it is really difficult to play for more than twenty minutes.

I love the sound of a bassoon.

Around the coin slot on the pig's back it says, "Save for Victory - Make Him Squeal."

wooden columns fronting the huge speaker that sounds like a juke box, and above that, the bakelite knobs and dial with several wave length settings.

And it still works.

Y'got a pic?

Art Deco 'n' everything!

Are the "ears" miidrange speakers to go with the 15-inch (I'm guessing) bass speaker?

so I took one for him/her.

I bought it for $15 at the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin in the early 80s. When the Soviet Union and the Berlin Wall fell, they pulled their military out of Germany selling off a lot of material to the local merchants, mainly foreign nationals. The watch still works.

Psychedelic colors one of a kind

I have used it for 10 yrs.

from the Rev. Billy C. Wirtz. Got it the first time I saw him live.

He signed it, "Dave -- tee fockin' ha! -- Rev. Billy."

It was like 30 years ago, so...

The Holy Grail all dumpster divers, Baby!.

I can’t pass a dumpster without peeking in, and there he was. I lashed him to my bicycle rack and rode home trying to figure how She Who Must be Obeyed would react. I was fearing she would she would bring up the fear of leprosy, which is a thing with armadillos. I carried it to the house with it hidden behind my back, then showed her. To my delight, she broke into a wonderful smile, and instantly fell in love with him.

I have the brush that he used to groom the beaver fur tophat he wore at funerals. Wish that I had his hat, but have no idea what happened to it

us.

of stemware that my great aunts bought when they "descended upon" (my aunt's words - who inherited them and then gifted them to me) Europe after WWI. They have black stems with an open diamond near the top and relatively plain clear glass (I think crystal) bases and goblets with no markings that I can find. I'd love to know more about them but I'd have to find an expert in post-WWI/pre-Great Depression glassware

From the 70s when Baby Doc was ruler

Can’t seem to figure out how to share the pic

They look like this:

it's OK to say it's her.

I had friends who purchased one and set it on the balcony of their condo. Something like this:
