I could have saved a lot of money if I'd found 80% of my tools along the road. Right now I'm cleaning out all of Harbor Freights cheap Chinese tools and freebies.

Some day when it's a broken or worn out tablet? Big, handy coaster! Lemonade from lemons.

Any digital appliances that conk out can be used as hammers or for target practice or stress management! Beats letting them collect dust!

What it "seems" like I collect are shoes... since I have more of those than anything else... but that's not an intentional collection, I just really need more - so many different styles and colors to choose from! And that's my story & I'm sticking to it!

..................................................Me? I am most all of those!!!

Collecting days are hopefully behind us.

It's declutter here at the moment.

I do have a small collection, maybe forty, of high quality die cast model cars, mainly 1950s and 60s sports cars- can't afford the real ones!
