I collect old radios in various states of disrepair and have them stored in every nick and cranny. mostly nothing really valuable but I like restoring and collecting them. I always got reactions when dating. Most just didn't understand it or thought of it as clutter. well at least you aren't in the bar every night ...kids are amazed having never seen anything like it. Many I will simply keep warm and dry and will never have enough lifetime to fully restore so Ill pass them on to future collectors. ( the radios I mean lol ) Most younger people like in their 20's don't' get it , they just see it as storing outdated electronics. but some think differently and love all the neat styles of art deco cabinets and such. A collection can be a burden. I would sure dread moving, but at least I have interests.
All of a sudden now i am with someone "reasonable" she dusts them even
I'm slowly downsizing at a snails pace, but have come to the realization I get more pleasure from buying stuff than parting with it. I have a weakness for anything with a rotten rubber cord hanging out of it. Some get so pent up about having everything in it's place. I went out with a girl for a couple of years previous. I remember the first time I entered her perfectly laid out condo. I glanced around and noted that every item on her counter was either square to the wall or at a perfect 45 degree angle and no dust anywhere.. everythign was black or white. she showed me her painting skills because she had painted all her wood furniture black ! I just though hoo boy,, Im in trouble
I really was .. LOL
