| Family Treasures? | | I'm wondering how many myLotters have heirlooms, family treasures handed down from generation to generations. We have pictures and some lacy handkerchief things, and we try to keep various old schoolbooks and schoolpapers. We don't have entire trunks of things, though.How big is your family on heirlooms and family memorabilia? | |
| | Should I Or Shouldn't I? | | Okay want to get a bit of feedback here. I have in my possession really old stock bonds that were bought by my great-grandfather and dated around the late 1800s, with his signature and everything on it. And NO...the companies of the stocks are no longer around...believe me I looked thinking gee, maybe I'm sitting on a fortune...LOL
Anyway, I was hunting around and there are a few places that sell and/or buy these bits and pieces of history. As you can imagine...to actually BUY this memorabilia most are sold at $75.00 or more each. I got in contact with one place...he asked me to scan and send photos of what I have ...I have five such stock bonds ....After seeing what I had, he said he would buy all of them from me for $40.00. Like huh? That's all?? for FIVE when he'll turn around and sell them for maybe $75.00 EACH?Thing is, naturally $40 is $40 and shouldn't be sneezed at, but I'm also reluctant to sell them as in a sense they are a part of my family history. I think of all the "heirlooms" of my family that my mother and grandmother sold to get extra money...like irreplaceable pieces of jewelry like a beautiful cameo brooch with platinum filigree around it--or that old time gold... | |

| how do you define family? | | When I was a kid, my family had a strong bonding. A bonding thet is envied by oyr neighbors. I used to dream of my own family myself to be like that. As time passed by, the Family I used to hang on is now a crap! And right now, I don't even know how to define a family and afraid to have my own.;'[. i want to get out from this nightmare, but how? reluctant to sell them as in a sense they are a part of my family history. I think of all the "heirlooms" of my family that my mother and grandmother sold to get extra money...like irreplaceable pieces of jewelry like a beautiful cameo brooch with platinum filigree around it--or that old time gold pocket watch with a chain of my great-grandfather's and it was saddening to part with them
So what would you do? Should I sell them? Maybe wait for a better offer? Did you ever have any piece of family memorabilia that you decided to sell...did you get a lot for it? Did you regret parting with it? | |
| | family members sharing the same soap | | Hello mylotters, do you share the same body soap with your other family members? Our family each used different body soap, for children they have different soap which are hypoallergenic. Happy mylotting. | |

| Will you leave your family for a better life? | | Many people try to find a way to make life better. If in a cruel situation, you can still stay with your family members leading a hard life; while have a chance to get a better one by moving to another city or another country only yourself, and surfuring great homesick day and night.
Will you leave your family for a better life, or stay with them?
What kind of situation can make you leave your family?Now I think I have to make a choice, I know stay in the place, I can not make life better. Can not own my own company, can not have my own house, and can not make sure that my children will have good education.
But moving to another country may bring some chances to get a better life. But I still can not make out the final decision. I want your help and suggestion. reluctant to sell them as in a sense they are a part of my family history. I think of all the "heirlooms" of my family that my mother and grandmother sold to get extra money...like irreplaceable pieces of jewelry like a beautiful cameo brooch with platinum filigree around it--or that old time gold pocket watch with a chain of my great-grandfather's and it was saddening to part... | |

| Family and its importance | | Here in the Philippines we treasure our family so much. We never leave a family member in the streets and we try to find ways to make them stay. Some people though leave their family members in different places because they have ailments or disabilities. But going to main topic we have, my family is an example of a great family who treasures every member they have. Actually by saying family i mean the entire mothers and fathers side. None of our family members go to nursing homes, home for the aged and even worst the streets. My mom and my aunts are good examples of this because my late uncle died because of cancer. They never lost hope that my uncle can still recover and they took care of him till the end. This is how important my family values the word "relationship" and that's why i love my family so much. | |
