1. doncha love when the thing someone has had sitting around for years
is worth a pile of dough?

Have you seen the one with the guy who had the $350,000 American Indian blanket on his couch? It was kinda sad, like the poor guy had no idea he was sitting on a goldmine of sorts and maybe could have used the cash.


Or the women who ended up with an amazingly important Alaskan mask/helmet of some sort? Those are always a trip to see! Makes you wonder if the money ought actually to go to Native Americans...

3. The monetary value is not what I find interesting about that show.
I like hearing the history behind the objects. They do get some interesting stuff.

4. I've moved so often I have not stuff left. I had yard sales the first few times I moved. I threw out
about 24 bags of garbage the last time I moved. I gave up all my craft hobbies. I'm not meticulous enough to do crafts. I can knit a good sweater and sew a swimsuit and that is about it. I like not having so much junk. Though I do see my new place filling up. I'll have to be ruthless again and start throwing stuff out.
