    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.

    I believe Differently Abled is the current lingo.

      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.

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

              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.

                      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.

                      I don't but my piano tuner, from whom I purchased the Aeolian organ, said he has 15 pianos in his house!! I imagine most of them have had the legs removed and they are stacked, standing on their keyboards. He also had several grands in the storage barn where I went to look at the organ.

                      The industrial revolution cheapened everything.

                        I guess he'd be offered unwanted instruments for repair. I have, always worn out uprights. One had been stored outside in a garage.

                        A very good friend of my father, a dentist, played cello and had 3, but also had a grand piano downstairs and a large electric organ in the attic (he played for the Methodist Church circuit well into his 80's). I never thought him weird, or my dad who had 12 violins.
