Love the thread.
I have sat here and have read everyone's post. For the better part of 30 minutes I have sat and thought of how I could add to it.
As my gerbil has limped on his wheel of thought I have thought of my grandparents, aunts and uncles and mother in law who has gone before us. I have thought of the tools they used the TVs we watched appliances used, clothes they wore; the crafts and skills they used and had and I feel slighted.
I would trade almost every tool and appliances I have for the quality and craftsmanship and value of yesterdays; for all of the reasons mentioned above.
Thanks again for the thread. It has brought back some very fond memories of very special people.
Respectfully,
Sean
