elindra SG I think everyone might have stuff they collect which others consider weird. What do you have that you think fits into this category? I think for me, it has to be stones and pebbles. I love bringing back stones and pebbles from various places I visit be it the beach or mountains Had a huge collection till my parents forced me to abandon it due to us shifting house when I was much younger. Only took my fav stones and pebbles with me
Fatum SG I have this "weird" habit too .... but I think this is pretty common actually .... I don't collect all the pebbles and stones for keeps though .... each one is a promise to myself that I'll go back to the place one day and and bring it "home" ... ... a diving buddy of mine likes to collect sand from the seabed at each dive site ... he'll take a little jar with him and look for a clear patch of sand ..... I collect fishing flies too .... used to tie lots of them on my own table vice and exchange them with other afficionados ....
elindra SG Well, different areas have different broken off strata I guess. The stones from different areas are really distinctive that you can tell
ShrodingersCat SG yeah i used to keep stones too.. free ma.. until I realise it is unenvironmentally friendly to do so. Now ah.. sigh cos of my work I collect every little things - good for kids to do Art ma.. currently I have... empty cans/bottles/eggshells/old magazines/shoelaces/straws... And if anyone have lots of old buttons and want to discard them.. i will be most happy to help relieve you of them Feel a bit like garang guni.
Rhonda SG Kewl! But, I hope he doesn't scoop sand from the beach! Cause he might be taking home sandflies too!
elindra SG But I dont think anyone will lug back a stone you like where it is heavy enough to bash someone's head in
