To kick off my live life to the fullest

I went back to my collectors roots today and bought a Ralston 1991 Urkel O's cereal. Unopened cereal, though the top flap is opened. I'm gonna reseal it with some glue. Cost me only $55 dollars with shipping included after offering the person $40. These are hard to find. I'm so glad I'm back to collecting 90s memorabilia.

I love collecting cereal boxes. This was a huge rare find for me. Totally worth it.

some of the things I find that I just have to have are...well, not exactly practical.

one of the biggest was a 1940's mint condition kerosene stove that is now the stand for the coffee maker and microwave and repository of the toaster. it has never had fuel in it or been lit, but the finish is getting kind of trashed from coffee getting spilled on the enamel.

I'd love to get my hands on something like that to redo and put out on my patio for cold weather

I have metal Youngstown kitchen cabinets that need refinishing SO bad, and the sink is rusted out around the faucet - it is a double basin double sideboard. would love to come across a few more pieces of base cabinets to match.
