Today’s Open thread Sunday, as I continue my weekend vacation, is a suggestion from Blonde Gator proposed after linking an article bemoaning yet another Millennial dilemma: their inability to afford “ethical” furniture. BG posted it along with this comment: “These mean little dumb-ass millennials will attack most viciously anything they don't (or WON'T) understand. Read the article....here is your BEVERAGE alert.” So consider yourself warned.
BG suggested that since everyone of *ahem* a certain age has gone junkin’ for wonderful furniture finds that this would make a wonderful open thread topic :
I'm sure that like most of you, my fellow MOTI, that you all have many pieces, collected over a lifetime, gifted, inherited, carefully shopped (my "china cabinet" is an imported solid mahogany bookshelf with glass sides and doors (7' panels of glass),6 shelves tall, into which I put multiple mini-spot lights…
Sorry, I'm rambling, but I find it terribly difficult to understand these SJW twits and their priorities. Where's the FUN in that? I know how much fun my friends & I had combing 2nd hand shops, antique shops, (we used to call one place the Bump N' Dent) and even Junkin' Day (garage sales)....never knowing what cool piece we'd find.
I knew the MOTI all would find it amusing and have stories to tell about particular pieces, treasure hunts, recycled stuff made into perfection, etc.
So have at it. For my 2 cents I’ll just note that this isn’t a new problem, Phoebe Buffet was dealing with it on the cusp of the Millennium.
