collections



Recommended Posts

What do you collect? And what do poeple think you collect, but you don't really?

I love old cookbooks, especially historical cookbooks. My DH just bought me a cookbook with of 15th century English & French cooking.

I collect old books in general, Star Trek action figures, Micro Machine spaceships, blue glass and odd kitchen equipment. (I own two vegimatics...)

My mother-in-law gives me shot glasses from all the different places she visits. Blue glass shot glasses...

Stuffed animals: Anyone that has been in my house will attest to that. I have at least 5 in every room. A small child would love my house. LOL!!

Anything Disney, I love all things Disney. My mom brings me shot glasses from all over the place, they love to travel. I also have magnets from all over the country. I love the magnets, but am running out of room for the shot glasses. I am also running out of room for the magnets, my fridge and portable dishwasher are both covered. I want a magnet that says something about the lapband~Mandy

I collect vintage rhinestone jewelry. My mom had quite a collection that I have always been fascinated with. My mom was QUITE the looker back in the day and she worked as a secretary in a place that was all men. She got A LOT of presents from admirers. Good quality stuff.

I'm hell on eBay for 40's and 50's rhinestone stuff. I just LOVE it.

I also seem to have accidentally stumbled into a fridge magnet collection. I'm having to pull back on that as I too am running out of space.

I just figured out I collect rocks--big rocks. I was telling someone about the trickling waterfall my son built out of some of the rocks in our yard (just a tract house yard) and she asked where I got the rocks. About the time I answered I've been bringing home rocks from wherever I found interesting ones for the last 20 years I decided I'm a collector. It helps to have sons when you pull over on the way down from BIg Bear to load a great looking piece of granit in the back of the van!

(I'll try to attach a pic of the "waterfall")

I collect Anime and Manga (japanese animation and comics). I don't know if my bookshelf full of used up sketchbooks counts as a collection, but I like looking through my sketches and remembering what was going on in my life at the time (even though they have nothing to do with eachother). I've got a huge collections of too much clothes because I never threw out anything I was too big for because someday I was going to magically shrink back into them.. but wait! Now I am!! haha. Now I throw out stuff that is too big.

I also like getting notebooks and writing utensils. I always end up with more notebooks than I'll need, and then use them up and need to go get more. Unfortunately there's nothing important in them like a journal, I just use them for notepaper at work instead of sticky notes or steno pads. As for pens, I'm on the never ending Quest to find the perfect inking pen. I may have been close, but then it ran out of ink and I've been broke since then. maybe next month I can buy more :)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
