    Hey, there’s nothing weird about my collections of vinyl records and German beer steins and uranium glass and sterling silver and quack medical devices and watches and books and pewter and brass and guitars and cameras.

    I honestly started off with the intent of being funny, and then I realized how many fucking collections I have, and now I don’t really know what to do with myself.

        It’s instruments… I can play a little bit of all of them, but none of them very well lol. I just like playing with them

        An acoustic guitar, an electric guitar (I had 2 electrics, but gave my dad one with a small amp), 2 soprano ukulele’s (in case a friend wants to join), a piano keyboard, electric drum kit, harmonicas, a violin (I got it for my wife, but we both like to mess with it) and… I think that’s it. I kinda want a bass guitar one day too, just because it looks like fun

        Also a small collection of cacti, and a small collection of amateur radio equipment (as well as other electronics that I like to mess with)

      •Internet stranger hugs• for the third one. I already have all boxes checked, but I’m hoping to avoid adding a second dog’s ashes for a few more years. My pup already surprisingly old and hasn’t died yet, so, if that trend continues, he should live forever.

    41 and I have the weird collection (pro wrestling memorabilia from before 1980. Toronto specific preferred) But I don’t have the friends or pet ashes, I have jars full of my live parrots feathers, which I guess is another weird collection.

      No, because you have to take your Lil buddy to the vet to get euthanized before you get ashes. Part of the fun trauma of this age is having to be old enough to make that decision. That today is fluffy’s last day on earth. Then you get to be guilted by the vet into buying some sort of memorial package in a moment of weakness.

      Having your pal turn up toes at home is what gets you a backyard burial. Not awful enough, sorry friend.

        Nope we did that. Vet just came to the house.

        And yes that was the absolute hardest thing I’ve ever done. We scheduled it on a Friday and had to wait an entire weekend for it to happen on Monday. I am a 54 year old man and I cried like a little baby the whole weekend.

        And they did indeed have a brochure of things to memorialize your pet. This was pretty recent so the brochure is actually still on the mantle.

        So I’m thinking it does count 😏

        Oh, you can have them cremated even if they died peacefully at home, either through a vet or by dealing directly with a pet crematorium. And you can take the body home to bury in the yard even if you’ve put them to sleep.
