Fixing totally useless things is great too...who needs 25 chairs and dozens of lamps home...even fixed (yes but see darling ..its works!!)?? Who needs thousands of pulp books,dozens of thorens cigarette lighters-because-its-the same-name-as-the-records-player)when he stopped smoking...Who needs to turn his home in an absurd museum...and I won't tell you about my other meanings...SAVE ME....
