My bottle collection of bottles I have dug up from old dumps, some over a century old, and telling where and how I found them, and their histories.

Same for my doorknob and handle collection,
which includes old bathtub and sink knobs and handles.

My love of hardware stores and tools.

My talking about things virtually no one can relate to anymore.....but I did those things.
Seems it is mostly folks over 80 who can relate at all these days to such things for the most part.

My being impressed with Avon's Skin So Soft oil and all the weird things it can be used for.
Same for other uses for automatic dish washer powder.
And peroxide!

My fascination with sandblasting.

Doing headstone rubbings.

My antique button collection.

I never could skip.
Or do cartwheels.
But could do the splits, both kinds, and back flips, and back rolls.
And stand on my head.
