<p>[QUOTE=&quot;t.paine, post: 10247792, member: 90904&quot;]Hello, I grew up in the town that Thomas Paine lived for a period- thus my name. Also grew up in a house full of antiques mostly bought at auction, and had family in the biz as well. My Mom died on January 5th, and I have been cleaning out the house since as it still has a mortgage (at age 80, can you believe it?) so I didn&#039;t have much time to avoid the constant flow (flood) of various emotions that come with such a task. A lot of her good stuff had to be sold some 20+ years ago, but still have been finding some interesting pieces packed away, which I helped pack some 20+ years ago- talk about getting depressed about the passage of time and how some of us kinda get &quot;stuck&quot;. C&#039;est la vie! It&#039;s fun at times as well- as I&#039;ve never went through a period of not appreciating &quot;old stuff&quot;, although a lot of the things I&#039;ve been re-connecting with aren&#039;t what I&#039;ve been buying, selling, and using over all these years; but I feel like it has stirred up an interest, as well as stirring other things.</p><p><br /></p><p>I look forward to reading the forum.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
