<p>[QUOTE=&quot;wlwhittier, post: 9465240, member: 76316&quot;]I would like to clarify a wee point, bosco...I was a picker for ~50 years, until I reformed upon the realization that I had enough stuff, an&#039; I wasn&#039;t gonna live long enough to get rid of much of it.</p><p>I want to emphasize that I don&#039;t consider myself abnormal in that evaluation...nor, imho, are you. I won&#039;t factor the economics of that half-century...nor should any of us nobly engaged in our calling. For me, it has been every bit as much a social exercise as one of acquisition, an&#039; I feel deeply enriched by the folks I&#039;ve met &amp; befriended in the pursuit of all these odd treasures...not to mention the delight of having provided an admittedly temporary resting place for a goodly number of remarkable objects. I doubt you can find much in the above to differentiate your experience from mine. You&#039;re one of us...I&#039;m one of you. Wallow in your unique history of picking&#039; experiences...savor every moment, an&#039; each one of the very many delightful baubles you&#039;ve plucked.</p><p>Thanks for listening&#039;, good sir...No Blame, Blessed Be![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
