1473868 2021-04-01 22:15:00 Something owned but never used. A small heart shaped chocolate I've had in my fridge for 23 years, still looks good enough to eat. bellbird (6169)

It would have "bloomed". Or worse, have mold.

I just checked and no bloom or mould that I can see, and it's been unwrapped in a plastic container. Darn, for all these years I thought I'd been given a heart shaped chocolate but I see it's actually a leaf. Not sure I feel as sentimental about it now.

1473871 2021-04-02 07:27:00 20 years? That's nothing. I am still using tools that were my grandfather's when he was a young builder and blacksmith in the 1880s. I've had them for over 60 years and they're still as functional as ever.

Looking around my house, much of what I own is over 20 years old, including some clothes that I still wear today. I am still using furniture that I built in the 1960s. Anything 20 years or less is considered "the new stuff" in my world.

Buy quality and then care for it properly and it will last you a lifetime or more. Unless it's a car or a computer. Hammers last well!
