So, how weird are you??

Six OIL lamps. The first one was left in the house by a previous owner. Then I found a matching one in an antique shop and thought it could use a mate, and they could flank the fireplace mantel. Then I fell in love with a pair of sleek modern ones (Wolford) to grace the other mantel in the foyer. Finally, I bought and reconditioned two hand-held lamps for carrying around the house during a power outage (memories of Hurricane Sandy).

I think we need some photos of all these lamps, or at least any interesting ones! Starting with the oil lamps, @realplayer !

Save for counting all you weirdos as friends, I am normal, not weird at all.
While I have a normal number of steak knives, I rarely use them to eat food; rather, I use them for food prep.
I am very good at separating meat from bones using only a spoon and a fork. This does not make my weird, just eccentrically skilled.

Hey! I resemble that remark!

eccentrically skilled

I feel like this expression could come in handy for me as well...

This just confirms my previous sense that even collectively, this group fails to match my quotient of weird. I am clearly the Charles Foster Kane of WTF.

You don’t want to know about my ceramics collection (or maybe you do).

[ShiroKuro]

@RealPlayer I do!

Probably 20ish battery candles and battery 'twinkle' lights around that go on around sunset. (didn't take too long before I got rechargeable batteries!)

Living room/dining room loft space in a converted candy factory building from the early 1900's..

Yes please. Also love crystal.

My bins, photo taken during covid.

Not shown...
a duplicate Steiner 10x44 discovery so I and a daughter can look at exactly the same view(one is fourth from right)

a 6x32 Opticron which is perfect for art galleries.

For Kluurs, our sitting room standing lamp. Arts&crafts style?
