Old Stuff / New Stuff

Dean Thoreau · 08-01-2010, 06:12 PM

was reading through these posts....and i must say in most things i prefer old or at least well aged..

Wine is much better old....people are much better when they have a few extra years on them... relationships are better after the first 3 years of insanity have passed....aged cheese...potato salad always tastes better the next day....pizza the next morning much better,,,and why buy 1200 thread cotton sheets for 400 dollars when u can buy used 300 count for 5 dollars at goodwill and they feel just as soft?

I prefer shopping at the goodwill to shopping at the mall, nicer people and the shirts already have that nice soft comfy feel...why spend 200 dollars at abercrombies for a new pair of jeans that already look worn..when i can buy em at the goodwill for 5 dollars?

I love auctions...and have bought magnificent oriental rugs and turkish rugs with not s spot on them for 25 dollars,,so why buy them for 2400 or more; So I can say I bought them at Saks? or Paulsons? or have my neighbors ooh and ahhh when the delivery truck pulls up? No thanks I will take the 2300 i saved and furnish every room in a 10 room house with antiques and high quality used stuff......or use it to purchase that 1970 mgb that only has 41000 miles on it at the auction tomorrow

My daughter is moving into her own apartment...two weeks ago..i looked on craigslist and in one day, 120 miles of driving and 4 stops....we had a sofa, loveseat, chair, end tables, lamps, and all of it matched and looked and smelled brand new....and all of it was for free.......so we spent a day driving from location to location...loading the truck... and 20 dollars on gas....for her living room furniture (the sofa, loveseat and chair were at 3 different places) If the truck had been bigger we could have gotten her a free tv stand as well. But we bot that at the auction (solid mahogany 1940's liquor cabinet) for 7 dollars,,,so for 27 dollars she furnished her living room and can now afford that giant 55 inch flatscreen hdtv......so I can come over and watch the closer
