True. But only to a point. Some antique furniture is too ornate and overly-detailed for me. I prefer simpler pieces that are truly solid quality... and most antique furniture is truly quality-made. So far as antique collectibles and items of decor, I love them on a piece-by-piece basis, but am fascinated by all of them. We have several from grandparents and great-grandparents.
Our house might even qualify... it was built in the 1880's-90's. The record of it's exact origin date was lost by the local government, but when Dad moved in here in 1965, a neighbor said that his Aunt had lived here in the 1890's. It is awesome, with solid wood interior walls in the original part. They were later sheetrocked over, but you can hang anything anywhere you want without having to look for a stud.
When Dad did some remodeling when he first bought it, he found square-head nails. The walls were insulated with some antique newspapers, which were interesting. There were ceramic fuses and the original electrical work! Which, thank God, was updated. The windows are original, even. All except for the 'new' part of the house which was added onto the back post WWII.
The next poster wonders if some antiques are haunted.

Iblessyah's question, a few posts back, somehow got overlooked... so I will answer it along with the one directly above.
Their question was... Next Poster: Has recently shopped a hotel.
False. I have yet to shop a hotel... but I wouldn't mind doing so. I would probably prefer to start with one close to home, since I have two elderly pets. I wouldn't want to be too far away overnight just in case. But still, it would be a mini-cation for me. I could check in to the hotel and do some of the evaluations... sneak home and feed the dogs and make sure everything is OK... then sneak back to the hotel and just relax all night. I could get my nephew, who is very responsible and only lives four or five blocks away from me, to stop by my house to let the dogs go potty just before bed.
Now for Rezteach's question.
Again, false! I'm one of the few human beings on the planet who doesn't like coffee. I never have. I even tried to learn to like it when I first started working after community college, so I could 'fit in'. I never could get to like it. Tea is OK, but still doesn't get me whipped. And, I don't much care for nuts of any kind. Almonds and peanuts are OK, but I prefer them in nut-butter form... and finely chopped if they have to be in anything else. I don't like nuts in my cookies or brownies or ice cream or anything!
The next poster likes to have lots of family photos in frames on the wall(s) in their house, and might even have entire wall(s) dedicated to this.

Equal rights for others does not mean fewer rights for you. It's not pie.

Never try to teach a pig to sing. It's a waste of your time and it really annoys the pig.
