Somewhat. Memorabilia, music, books, nothing too excessive.

I collect those little souvenir spoons you can get in souvenir shops. I have 3 racks and was working on my 4th when the virus hit.

My wife and I both are collectors, and display space in our condo can be a problem. We use most of the available horizontal space.

After a lot of unexpected and spontaneous moving, in my younger years, I became a minimalist, and I really prefer it now.

I am not a collector, I have enough trouble being a borderline hoarder.

I use to collect and some how i always loose it. After living with my mother n law due to her being ill i noticed she collects everything and her house looks like 1 on hoarders. I never want to live that way again. Now i feel if u cant use it give it 2 someone who can.

I wish I did but a good quality emerald is so expensive. Yes, there are "created" emeralds, but unlike diamonds which look great, the created emeralds do not.

To continue my story (this is 3/3), I was very envious when one of my best friends got faux emeralds for her birthday and wore them first. However, I was happy to wear mine anyway. My friends bulled me because I was a "copycat" even tho they all knew I had received mine first. #meangirls!

My parents got me faux emeralds as my first pair of pierced earings and I looked at them in the box until my mom could find the "self-piercing" rings that slowly worked into your ear over a couple of weeks. When I proudly wore my birthstone earings to school my best friends bullied.

My birthstone is Amethyst. I like it. I like the color. But one, I prefer Emeralds. And two, I don't wear jewelry anymore.

No, I have no rubies, and I wept mock tears for my husband's benefit answering this.
