This is my current chair. Fresh from the dumps where the old woman picked it up.
True story. She came home and said she found a chair at the dumps. I says to her go back and get it if it was any good.
Ha! You married well!

Amazing what people will throw away...... While I should be posting about chicken feet or chopped liver, I gotta tell you about what I threw away about a year ago. My parents lived in the house I grew up in for about 45 years, but a few years back they had to move to an assisted living type place due to age, injury and mental issues. My dad was a world class hoarder, which was compounded by the fact that he grew up in the family business of second hand furniture. To him, everything had a potential value and I'm not kidding, he would not throw a thing out, from plastic bags to empty pickle jars to every dang piece of clothing and furniture he ever owned. Most of their stuff was able to fit into their assisted living unit/garage space, but last year their condition deteriorated and they went into nursing. So everything other than a few small things (old records and record player and a cabinet) went into storage, and then we started to throw things out recently. We've gone through three full size dumpsters and still have a ton of crap to get rid of. Lots of people see their old furniture and say it must be valuable, but I'm tired of moving furniture from one storage place to another and no one would actually buy the crap my parents had. So off to the dumps it goes. I laugh at shows like Storage Wars, where the people assign ridiculous values to worthless stuff ("Oh, this broken side table with weird stains is a $20 bill all day long"). If that were true, my parents would have a huge roll of cash. They don't.

Ha! Thats the old chair we got from Grandma when she died. Thats for sitting in the kitchen. This is my current chair. Fresh from the dumps where the old woman picked it up. True story. She came home and said she found a chair at the dumps. I says to her go back and get it if it was any good. Smelled like cabbage and carpet powder for the first year. "smelled like cabbage and carpet powder"... anyone who thinks poetry is a lost art in America has yet to read Large James. His prose and Huntsmans22's art humbles most of the modern masters. mike r

Been shoppin at Trader Joes before the first millennial was ever born.
That said very few items I get from there anymore.
I do get a hankering for their pfeffernusse every Christmas though.
Also two buck chuck every now and again.
You are right about the Daughters though. Especially the college one that got me stumbling drunk a few weekends back.

Beverly Hillbillies would be more appropriate. 😜 To be fair to Jim, when we were kids, we called our parents the Beverly Hillbillies 🤠
