  Very much agree. I had a big row with my girlfriend over returning a fridge in order to replace it with this retro VW Gorenje fridge and I don’t regret it for a second. Sparks joy every time. TV and bed are areas I apply the price per use rationalehttps://youtu.be/OXSosB3yAm0

  Yes, things can be love objects. For me, a musical instrument is nearly human; worthy as an object of reverence.

  Partly explains why I'm a nudist - beauty of the human body beats beautiful clothes every time.
