    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).

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

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

                  I have zero lamps in my living room but have been meaning to buy one.

                  Trying to think about what, of my possessions, makes me weird.

                  I have 2 pianos, but that doesn’t make me weird here.

                  I have probably 7-8 suitcases. I married Imelda Marcos - I think Mayla might have as many shoes as kluurs has CDs.

                  Which clavinova do you have?

                  I understand having a digital with an acoustic.
                  Does anyone here have two acoustic pianos?
                  The only person I've ever met lucky enough was my piano teacher who had a large Bluthner grand(7ft?) And I think a Steinway upright for students. It's a matter of space more than anything.

                    What is a battery candle? Is it a stick type light like the kind people sometimes put in their windows?

                      We have many stick ones on candlestick holders and probably 6 or so "pillar" ones - some on holders and others in lanterns around mantle floor and shelves.

                          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.

                            Yes - they run for about 6 hours after starting - same time each day as when turned on.

                            There is another setting to just stay on until the batteries die.

                            Lots of AA battery size candles and then a handful with D size.

                                I have a bunch of those too, @rontuner Mayla loves candles and I can’t have things burning in the house so the LED candles are the compromise.

                                  Have too many instruments ranging from harmonicas to my little grand piano. Not telling how many instruments because I ran out of fingers and toes when counting. So there.

                                    These are the two Wolford lamps (Wolford is the manufacturer in California). I’ll have to dig out the other ones because we put them in storage when the living room got painted.

                                      Year-round Christmas!
                                      I have year-round Christmas avatar, year-round Christmas tree (lit!), year-round Christmas string lights (also lit!) in front of the house.
                                      Not weird, I just have very strong Christmas spirit, year-round.

                                          I give up on posting photos. I’ve spent way too much time trying (yes, I know I’m old.). If you’d like to see the Wolfard oil lamps, see wolfard.com

                                          I have two of the tall cylindrical ones.
