That could be, with a touch of lazy. Of course, this was long before the internet and Wikipedia, so maybe he thought he would be looking things up. I think his wife made him clear it out when they finally had a baby on the way.
One of my NOLA friends is what is referred to a “mambo”, or voodoo priestess. Her house is one of the strangest places I’ve ever been…and I always try to stay on her good side. From potions to chickens feet, skulls to herbs, she has a very interesting assemblage of artifacts and tools of the trade. She does tarot readings as well, so when visiting after an absence, she will read you. That part is unnerving. 😃
More times than not, yes. Sometimes, what she picks up on doesn’t make sense, like names or events. But mostly it’s accurate. She read my wife a couple of months after her mom died, and the stuff she came up with was uncanny. She’s an interesting bird, but I love her to death. 😊
A friend had not disposed of newspapers (daily reader of the NYT) of some very long time, The dining room had been mostly taken over.

Kind of sounds like hoarding tendencies. Newspapers are a primary object of hoarders for some reason.

Is a bong that weird? We have stores in the U.S. that sell bongs.

That was my thought as well, apparently they are well known around the area. I think they also had Zebras, but the fence was fairly high

I’m not a fan of people who feel compelled to “read” me when I don’t ask for it. It is awkward.

It would be if she weren’t such a good friend. I’ve known her for 30 years now, so I just expect it now. She’s pretty great. 😃

Not sure. But I’m open minded about it. And wise enough not to play with it negatively. Real or not, Im not tempting that fate. 😃
