The oldest thing you own What do you want Group, week 6.
My husband's grandmother gave us her amazing stamp collection. This stamp is the oldest thing we own. Another one from the same time period was used. Back then they hand canceled stamps by marking two lines across the face.

Cottony Cushion Scale (Icerya purchasi). Thanks for the id wildernesscam.
1.3 cm long, on trunk of 'wedding bush' (Ricinocarpos glaucus), tended by tiny ants attracted to honeydew excreted by the insect). Perth, Western Australia.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Icerya_purchasi :
"This scale infests twigs and branches. The mature hermaphrodite is oval in shape, reddish-brown with black hairs, 5 mm long. When mature, the insect remains stationary, attaches itself to the plant by waxy secretions, and produces a white egg sac in grooves, by extrusion, in the body which encases hundreds of red eggs. The egg sac will grow to be two to three times as long as the body."
A shot of my corner cabinet with the new Useful Thing organizing plastic storageware on top of my microwave.
This Volkswagen Thing at the Englishtown show was clearly a topline model. Not only was that obvious by its white and light blue two-tone paint job,. but it also had a fiberglass top to boot. :-)
Every thing about this pic is beautiful, My favorite pic. This beautiful picture has been taken by my friend Azam Kakar, in Loralai, Balochistan Pakistan, I thank him for his permission to upload on flickr.
The vase was another 75 percent off find at a local Roberts that was closing. The lollipops were covered with simple images of Thing 1 and Thing 2. www.diyingtobedomestic.wordpress.com

Houston, 14-16 June 2012. Johnson Space Center. Saturn V. The size of this thing just overwhelmed me. It is truely amazing.
Wednesday down on the docks. Arthritic Arthur really should stop jumping off the engine with his poorly back. Still he won’t be be told what to do, being an independent forthright soul. After jumping off the engine he has no idea why, it’s an age thing I’m sure, and something I know I can relate to. Mine is usually going in to the garage or upstairs and not knowing quite why. Still, I digress, for poor Arthur now has to get back up on to the loco, an ex Midland Railway Class 3 from nearby Highbridge shed. Harry the Hammer standing in the four foot will be over to help Arthur in a second or two, and with a bit of luck Arthur won’t jump off the engine again for no apparent reason.
Hubert the conversational Latin speaking horse’s day job is that of a shunting horse, and once the loco has moved out of the way, he’ll take over the job of pottering about with the occasional wagon. The docks aren’t too busy these days, with Hubert expecting redundancy at any time. But being such a clever horse, he’s been building up his Latin teaching customer base on rest days in anticipation, so he’s not too worried, and anyway he hates the early shift.
On the right, Shamus is waiting for the works train which runs on the docks light railway, it will be along once all the antics here are out of the way. Shamus as usual, is carrying a lunch box with a bottle of stout and raw onion sandwiches which he dips in raw egg. A hearty snack he’s become quite partial to since wartime food rationing ending a few years ago. Shamus has been after a girlfriend for some time, the occasional date he has, doesn’t appear last for more than a few hours, but hopefully he’ll find a local lass who is also keen on a diet of raw onions.
I actually went inside the vintage shop,Flashback, yesterday, instead of just photographing their seasonal window displays. Bad idea. I need to stay out of vintage shops - to much awesomeness that I can't afford!
Maudlynne begins to wonder if perhaps she needs a new eyeglasses prescription.
No, dear, you're seeing that right. Or wrong, as the case may be.
This is from the website of a chick who promises to help you "write better stories."
This from a chick who claims to have written her most recent "best seller," The 15-Minute Writer, in under ten days.
Apparently one way to streamline the production process is to skip those pesky editing and proof-reading steps.
I know, I know, this could be a mere oversight. It happens. It even happens to me. In fact, when I post these grammar rants online, I usually go back a half-dozen or more times to revise them for clarity and, yes, punctuation errors. Grammar and punctuation errors in a grammar and punctuation rant are a bit more ironic than even I usually intend.
It's just... it's just that I've only looked at two "Writer" web sites this evening, and they both prominently display fairly egregious punctuation errors. Both sites are trying to sell their services to would-be indie authors.
Maybe... no, probably I'm just envious. After all, this chick... okay, I should be more respectful and less sexist... this #1 Amazon best-selling author, speaker, and strategy and success mindset coach "has been featured on Huffington Post, Copyblogger, Problogger, MindBodyGreen, StoryFix, Helping Writers Become Authors, and more."
Whereas all I can claim to have accomplished is... uhhh... having typed snarky online diatribes about people who are more successful, not to mention younger, thinner, and better looking, than I am while basking in the petty self-satisfaction of knowing the difference between a possessive and a plural.
The Type 181 off-road vehicle, called the Thing in America - because what else would you call it? - was popular among VW enthusiasts but not so popular with anyone else. It was too spartan and lacked basic safety features . . . like seat belts.
This is a real SUV, sporty and utilitarian, a light-truck-type car meant for outdoorsmen, not for soccer moms and computer nerds. This is a 1973 model.
