[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 427914, member: 2844"]Well, it wasn't because of my hoarding. It ended up in my room when I still lived at home, and she said I could have it when I moved out. When I did, she decided she wanted to keep it. So I bought new bookcases, nothing special, which were so heavy with books that they had to be secured to the wall. And then she decided I could have it after she passed. By that time I had the new bookcases screwed to the wall, and no way of getting my mother's bookcase to our house and up the stairs to my study all by myself. The people who were supposed to help were busy reading my mother's books.:rolleyes: Which, admittedly, were very interesting. Anyway, I decided preserving what was left of my health after my mother's last years was more important at the time, so no Gothic Revival bookcase.:arghh:[/QUOTE]
