I know I have a house of stuff that no one would want and for the most part could just go out in the trash. Considering that I went to bed last night with a load of clothes still in the dryer. Chances are there will be some there when I'm gone too. I'm mostly known as 'MA'https://www.blogger.com/profile/12107548726472541669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-70583150646592099002016-07-28T01:52:59.467-04:002016-07-28T01:52:59.467-04:00Loved the story about grandma the dryer and the la...Loved the story about grandma the dryer and the last load.

Some of the jewelry is sold by the pound, but our friend who knows the true value makes a living selling the pieces for they are really worth.<br />RRick Watsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01005727239466916086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-13415545875576016982016-07-27T16:48:31.973-04:002016-07-27T16:48:31.973-04:00Just as I started to type a comment, my mother'...Just as I started to type a comment, my mother's voice came calling in my ear from the past. <br />"What if something Should Happen while we're gone (on vacation) and strangers come into the house? What would they think?" She wasn't maniacal about it, but always made sure our home was clean and tidy -- just in case. :) <br /><br />I won't go lying and say that hasn't crossed my own mind!<br /><br />Last year I finally tried going to estate sales, but couldn't shake the uncomfortable feeling were intruding on others' lives. Silly, perhaps, but I didn't enjoy it.Mevely317https://www.blogger.com/profile/14786988262452989091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-27325587176905363802016-07-27T12:22:36.321-04:002016-07-27T12:22:36.321-04:00I just read Lisa's comment; I totally agree; d...I just read Lisa's comment; I totally agree; downsize while still alive.<br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-57252562231456675902016-07-27T12:22:10.003-04:002016-07-27T12:22:10.003-04:00We never found money when we went through hubby...We never found money when we went through hubby's parents' things though his dad alluded to the fact that there could be money hidden in books, etc. Maybe that was his way to make sure we went through all the things individually when we were sorting through it all.<br /><br />So true about things people think are precious to them won't be precious to other people. The value something is assigned to something only is as good as what someone will pay cash for it (make sense?)<br /><br />We still have 2 Hummel figurines here that hubby's dad brought home from Germany way back in the 1950s. Hummel used to be worth something, but then they re-cast some of their figurines and that took the value away, then also people were downsizing their parents' estates and selling the Hummel really inexpensively. To this day we have yet to figure out their worth (we haven't taken them to anyone to do so, just some internet research). We hold on to them, but seriously I don't think they are worth anything because you got to get someone who is willing to pay what you think they might be worth.<br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-38843902985700122142016-07-27T11:14:45.967-04:002016-07-27T11:14:45.967-04:00My money is in the bank or my wallet or spent.

I look around and say why do I have this much stuff.I have downsized about 6 people and didn't find any money. My friends neighbor<br />found money in the chandelier in living room. Jack I will leave mine in the bank and not hide any. You tell me to spend it...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10411335969685440019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-77593139694641850472016-07-27T11:06:16.611-04:002016-07-27T11:06:16.611-04:00This is all so true.

We sold everything from the sinks to doors to the fireplace mantles. We found money inside the walls and love letters inside a wood mantle as if it were built around it. I suggest all older people downsize their stuff while they are still alive. <br /><br />living on a dime<br />LisaLisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03109633602729593188noreply@blogger.com
