Vote as you please, but please vote

Sometimes when I’m sitting at the computer doing “computer things” (and when I say “computer things”, I mean “work-related computer things”), the telephone will ring.  And sometimes when the telephone rings, I will answer it. And sometimes it will be someone doing a survey.  And sometimes that survey will be a politically-themed survey, such as “ what are your thoughts as to how
the Prime Minister is running the country”.  Which gets me to thinking that I would give each person who has reached the age of majority a glass of rum when they enter a polling booth on election day…this way more people will be enticed to come out and vote and perhaps if we are all a little tipsy when we vote, we might end up voting for a better candidate…I mean we’ve tried it the
“non-alcoholic way” for 146 years…it’s about time for a change!!!!! 
(Oh, and where would the money come from to buy a glass of rum for
everyone who enters a polling booth? 
Why, from a “slush fund” of course…

Delete Cookies?

I'm sure that a lot of you think that running an antique business is a glamorous profession....looking through musty books, eating hotdogs at rain-soaked auctions, standing in line at the post office with eight parcels to ship out,  travelling to exotic places (eg. Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan) in search of items....but, there are lots of hours spent in front of the computer....posting ads, updating websites, answering emails....and it can become boring and tedious.  But, luckily, I have my trusty canine companion to keep me company...sitting at my feet (or on top of them) wanting nothing in return except for the occasional pat on the head, rub on the belly, and cookie.  So at this computer when I am asked if I want to "delete cookies"...the answer is "NO"

A Penny for Your Thoughts

Now that the Government of Canada has decided to stop making pennies, I hear
from people that want to sell me their pennies ....sometimes for the price of a nickel.  Since you're not going to get rich selling a hoard of pennies
from 2005, what can you do with the little copper coins?...(actually they're
copper-plated steel).  Donations to charities are always a good idea...you
could make a floor out of pennies (I wonder how much a square foot would
cost?)....remember playing "penny hockey" in the school cafeteria?.....or, do
what I did, buy a bubble gum machine that takes pennies....you're only a kid
once....but you can make the feeling last forever....

Donated some early 1990's Winnipeg Thunder programs to the Manitoba Basketball Hall of Fame...If you have something that you'd like to share with other people, think about donating it to your local Hall of Fame (Wall of Fame)...be it any kind of item....sports, music, aviation, automotive, toy, etc......

One of the benefits of dealing in antiques is being able to add to my own collections.  And collecting antiques is a very rewarding experience.  Not only can you display your collection for you and your friends to enjoy looking at, but you can also "physically" enjoy many collections.  If you collect board games, you can roll the dice and have a game or two....if you collect books, you can sit in a comfy chair and read a few chapters....if you collect cars, you can take a drive to the park on a sunny Sunday afternoon.  But if you are a Brewerianist (someone that collects beer items), your hobby enjoyment should not go past the "visual" stage.  Beer, unlike wine, does not improve with age.....all those things floating in a 70 year old bottle of beer are not meant for human consumption.

"Collectible" vs "Collectable"

8/8/2013

Is it “collectible”….or “collectable”?  I always thought it was “collectible” and did a double-take when I saw a shop using the word “collectable”. I wanted to go in and say, “ummm, your sign guy misspelled a word…did you get a discount?”  But (as it so happens every now and then), I was wrong.  Either spelling is considered correct.  Unless, of course, you happen to collect tables…for which you’d need a big house.  So if it’s spelt (or is it “spelled”?) with an “A” or with an “I”, it all depends on what “U” want to collect….

Why "Adanac"?

Why "Adanac" Antiques & Collectibles.  One day, while sitting in front 
of the computer and trying to come up with a new name for Mid-Canada Antiques
& Memorabilia (because technically I had moved further to the West (24 miles) and no longer lived close to the Longitudinal Centre of Canada..."Mid-Canada"), my eyes fell upon a antique beer-bottle with a label from a long-defunct Saskatchewan brewery (why do I have antique beer-bottles from long-defunct Saskatchewan breweries in my front room?.....because I can).  The name of the brew "Adanac Old Ale" intrigued me...."Adanac"...."Canada" spelled backwards....that's it !!!!!  Adanac Antiques & Collectibles it is!!!!  Good thing I noticed that particular label before these other two......
