Pack rats.

We had an old guy die who lived across the hill from me about 10 years ago. Everyone thought he was a poor bum.

When they checked out his home they found hundreds of thousands of dollars stuffed into the mattress and EVERYWHERE!

The guy would stuff newpaper in his shoes when the soles wore out because he was too cheap to buy new shoes.

lol!

Thats funny!

You hear about those stories from time to time. I see advertisements in the paper by people who will come and clean a home of a deceased person at the request of the Estate Executor. I can just imagine what they find and sneak out of the house without mention.

I live in PA. and go to auctions from time to time and the Amish auctions always have really old items. They have a lot of farming equipment too and the items look 100 years old. I just walk on by those items.

I like to torment bidders by continually holding my hand in the air as the bidding is happening, I get the dirtiest looks from other bidders.

Mom tried to raise me well, or the best she could! lol
