I like to keep certain things. I am a drunken fool and come across as a cynical bitter dick, but some things make me soft hearted. for instance, I have an heirloom aged glass cabinet in which I store away keepsakes and silly things that are not materially important, but have meaning to me Birthday and holiday cards, for instance; it is so rare these days, for me at least, to get hand-written correspondence. Something someone put some drat effort into, to write, stamp, and mail. I have a bundle of these dating back to my childhood. I like to read them when I am feeling down. Sounds silly I know, but small strange things like that can make a difference in a person's life, or just day to day existence. I also have some notebooks from gradeschool with my stupid doodles and notes in them, even ones as far back as first grade when I wrote an "essay" and cartoon about Gorfeld, my favorite cartoon character. What sentimental or nostalgic things have you kept over the years? Feel free to tell me to gently caress off, imma blaze now

Haji posted:Rocks. Pretty rocks, unusual rocks, even completely plain rocks. I have rocks from everywhere I've been in the world. They're very heavy, but somehow I never decide to get rid of them or leave them behind when I move. and gods love you for that. they may be a piece of fantastic archeology one day

i also have kept my teddy bear from infancy. his name is Beaner, because he's full of beans. he has rotating limbs like a GI joe, except for one arm that got torn off; my mom sewed it back on. once i left beaner in a hotel in france by accident, but the staff mailed it to my family. Beaner sits on my bookshelf and i only move him to dust the shelf all of my Christmas tree ornaments are ones my family either made or collected from our time in Europe years ago dervinosdoom posted:I keep drawings my nieces give me, a few are hung up at my desk at work. i need a second fridge just for this precision posted:i have been smoking weed out of the same pipe for 12 years... and before that i had a pipe that was literally exactly the same... for 12 years as well... i have my dad's old pipes, and two he gave me for a birthday or some holiday. one has a wood stem and ceramic bowl carved in the shape of a hand. the other is one of those long stemmed pipes made of clay. he also gave me a tiny pipe that was shaped like a growling lion-- im pretty sure it was for smoking opium-- but i lost it

I am going to share a story i wrote for fourth grade english class which was compiled with all of my classmates' stories for the assignment RUMPELSTILTKIN CONTINUED [So the miller's daughter and the king are lonely and live weeks away from anyone else. they thought about calling for RUMPELSTILTKIN. The king got the maid and said, "Go get RUMPELSTILTKIN, we're lonely!" In the morning RUMPELSTILTKIN was there in the palace. Grace, the miller's daughter, was happy. The babies, Sarah and Jason, cried because of all the people around. "BRING ME SOME TEA! Don't people give their guests tea anymore?" said RUMPELSTILTKIN. "But RUMPELSTILTKIN, it's late!" exclaimed Grace. "WELL GOOD NIGHT!" yelled RUMPELSTILTKIN. Grace sighed. "Maybe tomorrow will bring better moods." The next morning, Grace smelled tea. She went downstairs and found RUMPELSTILTKIN. "I made tea, okay?" "Okay, okay," said Grace, feeling a little annoyed. "Seriously, I'd die without tea," said RUMPELSTILTKIN. Grace went upstairs. She said to Peter the king, "RUMPELSTILTKIN is annoying. He should go home." "Okay," said the king. The next morning, RUMPELSTILTKIN was gone. The End]

Szyznyk posted:I have my grandfather’s dog tags from WWII and Korea, his I Am A Catholic Please Call A Priest necklace that he wore with them so he could get last rites if necessary, and his coin collection. I barely knew him and he died a day before my first birthday in 1981 but I apparently was his favorite baby and would mooch his scrambled eggs. that owns

my father's mother died years ago, and somehow i wound up with her jewelry box. i stuck it away in my cupboard and thought nothing of it, until i decided to give it to two of my nieces for Christmas last year. i cleaned it up and polished the necklaces inside as best i could, and wrapped them all up in gaudy paper. i wasn't going to do anything else with it, so why not? while wrapping the box itself i discovered it had a musical chime that plays when you open it, wound by a wingnut screw at the bottom that i had never seen. i had one of those moments where you get a gift for someone and almost decide to just keep it for yourself...but i'm glad i resisted and the next generation will have the box

Telsa Cola posted:I had a hat that a member of my hired work crew gave me down in Belize one day. I tend not to wear hats, even when I'm out doors in the sun all day so he probably thought I was an idiot and brought me one. It was a well worn, camo patterned baseball cap. track down the hat. there is an adventure to be had here
