I've just been watching an episode of OZ
anyone ever watch that?
anyway, Donald Groves was a... well, enough of that... a prize for the person who can tell us who he was or what he did?
It transpires in the show, that a value could be placed on one of his recently extracted teeth to collectors of a ... shall we say, macabre nature
what might you lot collect, macabre or otherwise?
I do actually have some teeth, and not just my own tooth-fairy cast-offs.. I shall say no more about that
and some hair too... not that I'm a secret snipper on public transport, nor do I crop from the vagrant population as they snooze. Honest.
One thing I dooo tend to do, whenver near a large body of water, I'll pick up a small pebble.
Though I have no reason why.
Whatchagot?

I've got a Victorian mourning dress, it's really small, about a size 6. Intricate black lace, all hand sewed - but it gives me the creeps.
Get those pliers away from me LP .aaargh!!
donald groves ate his ma didn't he?
hope he didn't choke on her teggies :shock:
Teeth and hair (not mine) and some stitches from an op I had when I was 9.
I don't think they'd let you keep stitches nowadays.
Oh yeh - my daughter's umbilical clamp thingy still has dead skin attached to it.

I was just thinking that LP was being really weird until I read this and remembered my lovely little 'collection' of C section staples. Mini splendid's umbilical cord. In fact, what on earth am I doing with that? rolleyes

Or in your case - a voodoo doll.
i have my sons hair, and teeth along with the crib card and hospital bracelets (4 of em) :shock:
i also have a ponytail (my own hair) from when i got it cut from long to shoulder length aged 11 (theres 3 foot of ponytail) confused kept meaning to sell it but never got round to it and its still in great condition rolleyes
and my nana still has a blood stained cream leather car seat cover (my blood) when i had an accident aged 6 and she rushed me to the hospital she says it brings her memories back :?
Sparky has one of the plates and pins, from a broken leg of his
Do I sence a certain amount of sentimentality here?
I still refuse to think of myself as an overly sentimental person... though I have things that may have been given as gifts... or picked up along the way that have a strange 'value' attached to them that I simply can't describe.
I too have a little collection of hospital braclets...(as mentioned above) when keeping them, I had the thought that I was holding some form of Totem... a keep-sake that may 'keep-safe' the original wearer... why? I'm not a medicine man.. more you average everyday 'madicine man'.
Talking of which, years ago I made a couple of medicine-bags... Amerindian-stylee... I'm sure the bits and bobs that went into them were very very important at the time... though now I have nooo Idea what they were... but I refuse to either open them to find out, nor throw them away!
Does anyone 'Ritualise' around any special objects?...

i have a memory box that i started when my children were first born. maternity notes, bracelets , tags etc. shells fron beaches i have been to, tickets from disneyland, pictures made for me off various children including my own gallstones that i had taken out , but they wouldnt let me keep my gall bladder lol. just things that are sentimental to me that are tat to someone else, but which make me smile everytime i open it. x

errmm.. teggies?
strange you should mention pliers in such a context... I've always had a bit of e 'thing' about early surgical instruments... posibly stemming from an early visit to the Science Museum.
('early' as in; I was a child... not 'early' as in; I broke in before the doors were officialy open, slipping past the snoozing nightwatch to plunder the cabinets of thier grusome goodies... no, i dont do that kind of thing .... any more)
so, as a child... the Museum had a different feel in those days... and up on one of the upper levels, were these wonderfull wood and glass cabinets... full of mysterious, and disturbing... things.
