>Do you know who gets stuck on those jobs? Small people who can navigate spaces well.


Ahahhaha! Sucks to be you, dude. :D Also ahahah statue of an egret-- it sounds like some of the crazy rich people who live by the lake. They'd have shit like that.

>And you would be shocked how many people actually have valuable antiques in their attics and basements.

Man, I know. You should see the shit in my attic-- there's stuff from my great-grandparents that could go for some serious cash. The most recent find was an original photo-booklet from Japan from before WWI depicting traditional village life. It was given to my great-grandparents, who were missionaries in China, who them gave it to their grandchild. Weeeird shit man.

>I couldn't bear the idea of them being slaughtered.

So are mine. I still cry (much to my parents' consternation) whenever we send a cow off with the local hauling trucker. :< They get sold at auction for slaughter, since we don't do it ourselves. But it's like sending away a pet for me, since I raise them from birth. The ones who don't get sick or injured can live a long time. Our oldest cow I believe was something like 14 or 15 years old. :3

Cows have the biggest, sweetest eyes, for sure. In Greek mythology, the mother goddess Hera is described as having heifer eyes, so apparently people of all times and places thought so, too.

It did suck to be me. There was a good bundle of money to be made though, so off we went. And sometimes there were really nifty things, like that photograph book. We found a whole thing of sealed up clothes from the twenties in one place, and I'm talking full outfits. Dresses, the stockings, the shoes, the hair pieces, the jewelry. Someone had put them away together very carefully. We showed the owners, thinking geez, has to be heirloom quality, right? Lady says "Oh, just take them." I even tried to explain their sentimental value, because I felt bad, but she didn't care. We sold them to a place that rents vintage clothing to theater companies. We made a few thousand.

Old photographs are pretty common though. We found so much stuff people thought they had lost (photos of grandparents, jewelry, toys).

Then there was the time me and my cousin opened this great big wardrobe to find a hundred porcelain puppet/dolls/whatever hanging inside. That scared the hell out of the both of us. They were antiques, and valuable, but we were scared to be alone with them. Thankfully, the owner was all "They were my great-aunt's, oh, they're so lovely." And we just left them there.

The worst attic ever though, we moved these boxes, and out from behind them came a colony of roaches. Like, Roachageddon. They were everywhere. Thankfully, my cousin was temping for an exterminator in the community.

I didn't know that about Hera, but it makes sense. The cows were like big dogs, and so sweet. The next day, I thought I was going back, and my cousins were like "Nu-uh, Miss Bleeding Heart. We have to kill chickens today, you might cry." (Somebody got a stink bomb in their caravan for that)

That damn bird statue.
