You know when I was in college and my son was young I used to find stuff on the side of the road that no doubt pi$$ed off lovers and spouses threw to the side of the road and I was very greatful because I would pick up things and sell them at the flea market and it paid for my college and kept a roof over our heads. Plus I learned alot about collecting. My only regret is that I didn't have access to e-bay instead of having to drag everything to the flea market...
You know something else the relationship you have with yourself is a reflection of how your other relationships will be. I heard someone say something about the golden rule : do unto others as you would have them do unto you.....to really mean : I will do unto others as I do unto myself...if you need to hold onto his cr@p a little while longer go ahead...
