<p>[QUOTE=&quot;&#039;Nuff_Said, post: 13157, member: 181&quot;]Hi Sharona,</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m no genius, guru or expert when it comes to antiques. I&#039;m just a <u>picker</u> who has been very lucky and very blessed for a number of years. Nothing more, nothing less. But I do thank you for the kind compliment.</p><p><br /></p><p>We do work very hard at what we do. I thank my parents for that. They have a work ethic that makes folks my age and younger look silly. They in turn strived so very hard to instill that within both my brothers and I. It&#039;s all we know how to do, work hard!</p><p><br /></p><p>I recall when my DH (then boyfriend) and I were even younger, our friends use to laugh at us and make jokes on how we &quot;acted old&quot;. Messing around with &quot;old junk&quot; instead of going out chasing guys/girls and drinking at local bars and clubs etc. Now after a decade or so later, well........... lets just say they&#039;re not laughing and making many jokes. Especially after some moving on in life and getting married and having kids of their own.</p><p><br /></p><p>My parents use to always say,.... &quot;life is hard, but life is what you make it. Work hard now, have plenty of time later to enjoy the fruits of your labor&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>Hopefully later on in life we&#039;ll be able to be as knowledgeable as some of the folks here. Especially Taupou, AF, etc., and one day be able to share that knowledge with the younger generation to come.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
