Surprising Find

[jjkrkwood]

NO, not a hot muscleboy escort for $100 hr......

 

One day I was looking for something I know I had, but couldn't find..... I looked all over, then checked a dresser draw I almost never look in... I didn't find what I was looking for, BUT I did find a brand new, pristine in box with dustbag Louis Vuitton mens wallet.... Someone must have given it to me YEARS ago and I put it away for safe keeping.... That's what us OLD people do, we SAVE things for that "maybe one day" moment, or those "just in case" times..... millennials aren't like us. they are "of the moment" and don't care about tomorrow.....

 

Anyway, I aint gonna use it because I already have another that I use, so I called the LV store, and after some research they told me they no longer make that model, but its value is $500.....

 

So I put it on EBAY, and accepted a best offer of $450.... Enough for a 1 hr escort with OVERTIME....

 

The point here is (since its not one of those Avalon posts) that we should hoard stuff.... I have downsized a lot over the last 2 years but only hit surface stuff.... I haven't searched every nook and cranny..... If you haven't seen it or used it in years, chances are it will survive you and someone else will DUMP it when you die.... Go thru your shit....you never know what treasures you will find ???

You get better gifts then me. I found a new wallet (still in box) a year ago in the bottom of a drawer. It was from the Trump line of "fine" leather goods. TRASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When cleaning out my mother’s house, I found my Grandfather’s passport to Japan ... from 1913.

The most humorous finds when we cleaned out my dad's house was the box hidden behind the water heater that contained carving knives, light bulbs, and a picture of the Virgin Mary.

my last weekend's purchase was Margareta Magnusson's "The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning;" I've read reviews of it and have been working on embracing minimalism as she suggests; it should be a good read!

The opening line made me howl.

My Mom had an album from Shanghai. It appears to be filled with unknown relatives. The only photo I recognized was a huge tombstone over my great-grandfather's grave. It says he died in 1896. She also had letters from my grandmother to home while she was a student at Stanford about 1910. I haven't finished reading them yet.

I like small nice things and recently purchased myself a monogrammed LV necktie and a Gucci card holder. Also another pair of Tom Ford sunglasses. Another salesman gossiped about me and said some really really unsavory things about me I was appalled but my salesman was great and Tom Ford is not in my home state. I plan to write a letter to corporate since it was so terrible.

I moved back into the apartment I grew up in in 2003, after my mother died.

 

I'm still looking for that $10,000,000.00 my parents stashed away somewhere.

Oh that's probably in the walls ? Get the sledge hammer..!

I just replaced my LV checkbook cover (yes I'm oldschool and still write checks) and almost fainted at the price....I know its NOT worth the price, but it was a treat.... It was MORE than the cost of an escort BUT it will last longer

[jjkrkwood]

I wrote a check last year...

 

Upon her death, sorting through my mother’s things was tedious. In boxes where she hoarded junk mail, I would find something like a hand written note from Claudette Colbert who was our neighbor in Barbados...or a hundred year old family photograph. I had to sort through every piece of paper.

 

I resolved that I would never do anything like that to my kids. I will not be a pack rat. Of course, I hope I have multiple decades to live up to that resolution....but I did finally trash my college text books last year...and I burned my bank statements from the 90’s (shredding would have taken too long)

 

That's the whole point exactly.... Make it easy for others when you go, and free yourself from all the clutter. Its hard to let go, but when you do, you don't even think about it anymore. And like in my case, you never know what turns up.... Once its all gone, there wont be anymore Surprises....

@jjkrkwood I write checks for my bills and mail them! Always have

Come sit besides me...

[jjkrkwood]

Can I show up with my iPhone?

 

Is that some new fetish Bna ? Watching guys write checks ? :D:D

@jjkrkwood I write checks for my bills and mail them! Always have

I'm tempted to do that, but no airline points, and $1 a stamp. Here, almost all bills can be taken into the post office, they scan a barcode and you can pay any number of them with one cheque. Or you can use a CC (so, points) or electronic funds transfer there. As it is, the last cheque I wrote was July last year. (If you live in a small town, almost anything you can do at the post office will help keep it open.)

I wanted to say "then come sit on my face", but I didn't want to seem too forward...

I recently found out I get points for using my CC.....I never pay attention to that stuff.... I have over 150K in points... Who knew ?

 

Now, I just need to find out what I can do with those points.... Maybe they can be redeemed for escorts ? I'll have to start searching for 10 inches...

Haha, perfect! Although for me 10 inches may be a bridge too far!

 

(You may be able to redeem them for gift cards. If so spend those instead of cash and put the cash amount into your escort fund.)

And it sounds like, not having a LV checkbook pays for my iPhone XR

 

I prefer Hermes wallet as it is more discreet

Maybe you can use those points for a nice trip somewhere !

Hmmm maybe that's why I don't have a cell phone ??? Damn, and I'm missing out on Grindr ! But I look fucking "Chic"..

Huh, who wants to be discreet ? I'm too old to be discreet.... And if I spend THAT kinda money, I want label whore written all over me !
