At one time I collected snow globes, but after having more then one get broken by a cat I had, or start leaking for no apparent reason, I tossed them all. I then decided to collect salt and pepper shakers. I lived in a bungalow that was all original and it fit, but after a few years and I got sick of dusting a couple dozen salt and pepper shakers! I now collect nothing.

The best reason NOT to collect things - once you start, people see it as an invitation to give you things THEY think you would like. More times then not you end up not really liking the gift, but having to display it anyway. Nothing worse then spending your Saturday mornings dusting the ugly crap other people gave you!
