  1. donatella,

    …it’s so true,
    in my case my mother was quite the collector and her home is filled with all kinds of figurines, porcelein and glassware (many I can recall as a child).
    Lately though, it’s my dad who has become the collector, refusing to get rid of all kinds of stuff accumulated over the years including enough tools to start a CRAFTSMAN museum.

    dibs,

    that scene from Deliverance must have been
    inspired by a disturbing book I finished reading on the
    plane this weekend,
    it’s about the “Meanest man who ever lived”
    Karl Panzram

    who wished “…the world had one neck so I could strangle it at once with my bare hands.”

    The book has his jail house confession/journal which
    he wrote himself and describes “buggering and disposing” of victims from the US to Panama and back.

    At m4l’s house….

    BEWARE OF COOKIE MONSTER

    ————-

    the more appropriate sign would be:

    WHERE IS HIS PANTS?

    as wife wears them 24/7/363 (ie allows me to wear it 2 out of the 365 days in a yr)

  3. “Sell AAPL. There, I said it!”

    Agree dcb. Bigger bubble than gold, with all the analysts falling all over themselves to top each other. $500 a share! $700 a share! No, $1000 a share!!!

  4. Jackal and Dona…

    “aren’t the gender they are and want to swap out one set of genitals for another, but making the taxpayers pay for it is beyond ridiculous.”

    I have bad news for you. It is not only in CA. In NYS Medicaid also pays for the same, according to Mrs. D. And even worse, she informs me that until recently, they also paid to reverse it.

  5. Even though all that was left was pretty junky stuff for which we truly couldn’t find takers (not even charity), it was still very sad to see any of my mother’s and grandparents’ things tossed into a dumpster.
