Hearing about the old box of stuff takes me back to a recent (1-2months) thread. Doug, did you ever get the shelves up for the Mrs. so she could unpack her stuff and put it on display?

Yup!
That's a -88, a 737, a tiny 767-300ER (off-scale) and a whopping 777 on the right. So I cheated with purchasing the 777...
[/ QUOTE ]ummm.. that's not "my" stuff... I don't collect planes...
No - I'm still waiting to figure out how to display my shot glasses....

[/ QUOTE ]ummm.. those planes aren't mine, i don't collect planes...that's not the stuff I wanted to display on top, but it's the only place the 777 would fit...so compromising is always key...

from the looks of it Kristie got at least the top two shelves. I hope there are some computer books or flying stuff on the bottom ones. Did you get more than just the top shelf?
[/ QUOTE ] actually, he does have more room than that.. just that it's more of "our" stuff vs his/mine. The whole bookshelf isn't necessarily "done" yet.

You're not supposed to display shot glasses, you're supposed to use them! And regularly, so they don't get dusty!
[/ QUOTE ]nope, not me.. I collect them! haha

Hey Kristie, I collect shot glasses too. I have one window sill already filled, and am working on the other.

[/ QUOTE ]Kewl.. I never knew anyone else that collected shot glasses... I don't think many do since there's no return on your investment.. haha
I think I may have over 100 by now! all from different cities, countries, states etc...

Wow, you've got me beat!! I have about 15, but, Im still pretty young (note: did not accuse anyone of being old).
ya, i know... i've been collecting them since.... i think i was 18... now 34, i've gotten quite picky with the ones I buy AND I've accumulated enough that I dont know where in the world to show them off... hahaha
but now, I'm also collecting plates (overseas only) and ornaments for the xmas tree each year... but, my rules on the ornaments include having a state, city or country mentioned and a year on them.. so when i look at the tree, i can see what year we went to juneau or what year we went to paris... that type of thing...
shot glasses get old after a while because most of them look the same with the same 0.25 cent picture on it....but.. it's a collection that most people don't have and probably no one else can say they've had a shot in every one of their "collection" shot glasses.. hahaha
