I probably have too many clocks. There's at least one in every room in my house, including the laundry room. The kitchen has three, if you count the ones on the radio and microwave. I prefer analog clocks, so I have a wall clock in each room. In the bedrooms, wall clock plus digital alarm clock. Hmm. π

shareCan anyone have too many socks?? Sometimes I think I need more, but then I realize I probably just need to do laundry. π
shareI have a quirky sock collection. I'm running out of space for them all.
shareQuirky socks? They're fun. I used to have a few pairs of them, about ten pairs, I think. I always made sure to wear a quirky pair on my bowling league nights. It became a thing with my teammate to see which pair I wore that night.
shareI only wear sneakers so I have a lot of those little white socks that I buy at CVS or some shoe stores.
shareAntiques
To be specific I collect old airguns and knives, tools, fishing tackle and farming equipment..anything to do with agriculture or outdoor sports is right up my alley
My garage, barn and basement are full to the rafters with old rusty stuff and my wife is none too pleasedπ¬
I recently got a boy scout canteen that must be 50 years old, a heavy iron plumbers wrench with a cool wooden handle and a license plate from 1924
I can't stop buying mantiques!
A fifty-year-old boy scout canteen? Must have been my brother's! π Is your stuff displayed or is it just shoved on to shelves, hanging on hooks, etc? Displayed is cool. Shoved in anywhere - not cool. I still have a few license plates - a 1974 one from my very first car, one each from when I lived in AZ and FL.
shareA lot of my rusty mess is displayed out in the barn, my garage is honestly a jumble and the basement trinkets are mostly small and boxed up...I have a compulsion to own these things, I never said I was a pro curator!π¬

I have 4 calendars in my townhouse. I think one calendar should be enough.
shareAre they all for the current year? Some calendars have such nice pictures that it's a bit of a shame to toss them out.
shareYep, they are all for the year 2019. I have one calendar in each of my two bedrooms and two calendars in my kitchen...
shareKind of like my clock situation. Are they all wall calendars? I have just one, in my kitchen, and that's all I can fit on my kitchen walls. Everything else is cabinets, windows, doorways, or the old ice box, which takes up a lot of space on the window wall.
shareYes, they are all wall calendars.
shareThey're the best kind - one quick look and you can see everything that's on there.
shareBut, you have to walk into the kitchen. I just open my iPad; itβs joined to my hip!
shareI don't have an iPad - just a laptop. Yes, I have a smartphone now, but I use it for calls and texts to my kids. That's pretty much all, so it's usually on the end table or on the kitchen counter. I'd have to get up anyway. Besides, I still write appointments on my wall calendar.
shareI agree. :)
shareMy mom began buying me (back in β88 for our new home) the beautiful Victorian wall calendars for each Christmas. The last one she bought me was for Christmas in 2003. She died in August 2004. I left that calendar hanging showing August 2004 until I sold our home in 2014.
