I know i haven't bought a new piece of furniture in several years, even though two of my recliners on the sofa are stuck "out". We've adapted.<br /><br />As a realtor I see that the homes with less 'things" around are the most appealing to buyers, and then we do estate sales and it is depressing to me to see a couple's complete life of accummulation put out for strangers to go thru, rummage, throw aside, find a "real buy" and get what took the couple years to afford for next to nothing. Crystal going for 25Cents, clothes for a buck, books you almost give away (and yes I have a ton of books, that's my guilty pleasure) dishes for pennies. I always come home to my hubby and say, "We've got to get rid of some of our stuff and not leave it to the kids to have to do an estate sale." So whether you are seeing things this way because of PD or just because you've matured, you decide. I don't have a physical problem, but my buying and splurging days have almost come to an end. I hold that dollar a lot more tighter than I use to.Judy Dendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06995180063993963500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1026966222179181004.post-57291959837567062582010-12-02T18:49:30.164-08:002010-12-02T18:49:30.164-08:00Grandpa your good...Fire truck with noise... the w...Grandpa your good...Fire truck with noise... the water will be the least of mom's worries...the noise however will be a reminder to send him to grandpa and grandma's house to get a break from the noise.....although I love buying the grandchildren the toys that will bring them the most fun, I often wonder if I am buying them the toys I wished I would have had as a child......next time try the jeep....it has two gears and even reverse!
