You are so fucking weird.
No, I wasn't trying to derride you. I just don't get why people are so attached to their things.
I had a burglary once and they stole some jewelry from my grandmother among other things. I was pissed off of course, but I was annoyed with the cost factor than with anything else, because those were just things and my memories of her are what matter.

Thank god I was insured and they allowed me to get some similar pieces

They may be silly, but my father's footstool is coming with me. All my daughter's pictures, baby clothes, my jewelry, my Longeberger baskets, my mother's cherry bedroom set.

These things mean the world to me now.

You don't have to understand why they are attached to understand that they are attached. Even if it makes no sense to you, dismissing someone else's feelings is insensitive, which you are aware of. I've seen you complain about the dismissal of your feelings on several occasions in the last few weeks alone.
 
I need to pay my sewer utility bill and fill my gas tank... What I really want to do is nap.
 
Oh my god, guys, if you really like coconut the next time you make brownies use coconut oil instead of vegetable oil. I'm in heaven right now gnawing on this fudgy, coconutty, chocolatey goodness.

Tell it to your sensitive buddy too, since she attacked me first. Quite a few times, with inuendoes worse than mine.

The difference between us is that: you self-righteous doufuses suffer from selective outrage, whereas I know that I'm a grudge-holding bitch.
 
And yet for me it would be the things, the invasion and sense of physical insecurity , the transitions these forced. The cost factor would be way down the list because I cannot imagine I would try to replace such with a material item. For many memories are often linked to 'things'.

We have been linking idea and memory to the tangible since we could scratch out images on walls. While some might have extreme cases it hardly seems 'weird' to me.

Yeah I don't know why, but my mother and sister are just like me. We don't like the idea of tokens nor do we spend much time looking through family photos like others do.
In saying that, we're more sentimental in other areas.

I made a Thai-ish coconut curry halibut yesterday. I used coconut oil instead of vegetable oil when making my curry base, and boy of boy, did it ever make a wonderfully delicious difference to the dish.

Even just the onions, garlic, and ginger sautéing in the coconut oil smelled amazing. When I added the spices....ZOINKS!
 
So not only is he a fucking retard, he's a sociopath as well. Whodathunkit?
