    Slight variations (dog’s collar, I support my kids weird collections), but based on this list, I’d say I’m a successful 40-something.

    41 and I have the weird collection (pro wrestling memorabilia from before 1980. Toronto specific preferred) But I don’t have the friends or pet ashes, I have jars full of my live parrots feathers, which I guess is another weird collection.

      You do, but it’s just another item for your weird collection, that you ontain for yourself, to celebrate.

      Source: I bought myself another item for my weird collection, to celebrate this milestone.

    • several friends 8000 km away, check!
    • several, check!
    • no ashes, but buried in a special creepy place in the backyard. We used to keep my mom’s ashes around until we buried her. Technically I could get her ashes back back. Check!
    • several: mineral samples from places I’ve hiked, books, stamps, old hard disks, DVD and VHS movies, CDs…

    I feel accomplished. Thanks people!

      No, because you have to take your Lil buddy to the vet to get euthanized before you get ashes. Part of the fun trauma of this age is having to be old enough to make that decision. That today is fluffy’s last day on earth. Then you get to be guilted by the vet into buying some sort of memorial package in a moment of weakness.

      Having your pal turn up toes at home is what gets you a backyard burial. Not awful enough, sorry friend.

        Nope we did that. Vet just came to the house.

        And yes that was the absolute hardest thing I’ve ever done. We scheduled it on a Friday and had to wait an entire weekend for it to happen on Monday. I am a 54 year old man and I cried like a little baby the whole weekend.

        And they did indeed have a brochure of things to memorialize your pet. This was pretty recent so the brochure is actually still on the mantle.

        So I’m thinking it does count 😏

        Oh, you can have them cremated even if they died peacefully at home, either through a vet or by dealing directly with a pet crematorium. And you can take the body home to bury in the yard even if you’ve put them to sleep.

    If you have a collection of pets ashes, does that count for both? Also, did they have to be my pets?

        It’s instruments… I can play a little bit of all of them, but none of them very well lol. I just like playing with them

        An acoustic guitar, an electric guitar (I had 2 electrics, but gave my dad one with a small amp), 2 soprano ukulele’s (in case a friend wants to join), a piano keyboard, electric drum kit, harmonicas, a violin (I got it for my wife, but we both like to mess with it) and… I think that’s it. I kinda want a bass guitar one day too, just because it looks like fun

        Also a small collection of cacti, and a small collection of amateur radio equipment (as well as other electronics that I like to mess with)
