I love Jeff Foxworthy's humor, so I thought I would have a little fun. I have met so many people over the past year, who say they are a "picker". Some were at auctions, thrift stores, and tag sales.
Now, don't take this wrong, I think anyone saving anything from going to a landfill is awesome. Here are my thoughts on what I think a picker is.
You might be a picker if...
You call the clinic every summer to see when you had your tetanus shot.
You have scars and know where you were "pickin" when you got them.
You can't park in your garage, because it is full of treasures.
The men at the landfill are your friends and wave at you when you drive in.
The owner of the metal recycle place invites you into his office to visit.
You are no longer scared of bats, mice, bees, or snakes.
You carry tools and gloves with you at all times.
Your tires have been fixed too many times from nail holes.
You get soooo dirty, that you have to wash your hands twice.
You have piles of old stuff waiting to be repurposed.
No one will go with you to the "icky" places.
You climb through brush, tall grass, and water to see what's over there.
And my favorite...
You might be a picker if...
You have met some of the most interesting people you have ever met. People who have collected their whole life are really fun to visit with.
Feel free to add to my list, this could be fun.
Have a good day!
