Make new friends, but keep the old; Those are silver, these are gold. New-made friendships, like new wine, Age will mellow and refine. Friendships that have stood the test-- Time and change--are surely best; Brow may wrinkle, hair grow gray; Friendship never knows decay. For 'mid old friends, tried and true, Once more we our youth renew. But old friends, alas! may die; New friends must their place supply. Cherish friendship in your breast-- New is good, but old is best; Make new friends, but keep the old; Those are silver, these are gold
When trouble comes your soul to try, You love the friend who just "stands by." Perhaps there's nothing he can do-- The thing is strictly up to you; For there are troubles all your own, And paths the soul must tread alone; Times when love cannot smooth the road Nor friendship lift the heavy load, But just to know you have a friend Who will "stand by" until the end, Whose sympathy through all endures, Whose warm handclasp is always yours-- It helps, someway, to pull you through, Although there's nothing he can do. And so with fervent heart you cry, "God bless the friend who just stands by'!"
It was in a box of books, probably a dollar or two for all of them. All of them were very old including Treasure Isle, Idle Thoughts, Childe Harold's Pilgrimage by Lord Byron, Heartbreak for Two by Maysie Greig, A Dictionary for Boys and Girls 1959, History of the United State by Beard, The Pony Rider Boys in the Alkali 1910, The World's Famous Orations by William Jennings Bryan, and Letters From the East Rudyard Kipling 1889
It was an estate auction at their home. We have some storage auctions here, but I have never gone to one yet. I love that show but I wonder why the same 6 people are there no matter what city they are in. And they drive a car there and then bring a big truck to pick up items.
I think it's all fake. There is a rich guy Barry who buys a unit and throws everything away except one or two things, Dave who always gets the bids up high just to tick the others off. Sometimes the others throw it back and let him get one he didn't really want. Jarrod and Brandi always disagree on the price but end up getting it anyway for more than she wanted to pay.
I really love the Antiques Road Show and Pawn Stars. I just hate how they treat Chumley like he is an idiot. In real life you can't treat your employees like that without a lawsuit, so probably all scripted too.
I love the Hoarder shows too. My daughter keeps threatening to turn me in to the show.
I have a 2 bedroom house and she, her husband and 3 kids lived here. They moved out but still left their stuff. Then I told her my son and I were getting contractor bags to bag up her stuff so she could take it. She went ballistic on me and said not to touch her s##t.
The next day she went to her doctor and flipped out on her so she put her on bipolar medicine. Now she's upset they diagnosed that for her. I hope the medicine helps.
Meanwhile we bagged up one room and my son gave up and quit. Too much work.
Today she asked me to bring her some things like the highchair, coffee pot, toaster, blankets, etc.
Of course I had to do better than that. I took her coffee table that was sitting on my front porch taking up valuable auction space. And I took her everything to make peanut butter fudge including the pot and pan to store it and the recipe.
I told her I brought it and she went ballistic again and said I wasn't going to mess up her kitchen. I told her it was for her to make because her daughter asked me to get the stuff to make it.
Then she saw the coffee table and ballistic again. It needs refinished and the paint is chipped. I told her Kylee wanted it in her room but she said no to that. I told her I knew I couldn't make her happy but I didn't really care, it was off my porch now.
Yes, but it's a slow process because my phone's one of the cheap ones. So I have to keep clearing out memory before it'll let me send the next pic! LOL
I'm gonna start using my mom's old phone, just buy a card next month and put it on her phone instead. Her phone has a little memory card, so it has way more memory! :)
