But they are mine, and they each have meaning. If I could find a way to shrink files I would share a couple of pics.

Dave, my friend (the one with mugs shaped like my new one) also collects them. He uses them as well, but has a bunch, and each has a memory. Some he bought, some were gifts, but all are mementos. I have some memento mugs that have lost their handle or have been otherwise damaged, that I don't use, but still keep. The one I just "retired" from service (21 years of service!) is an example. Even if you don't use yours, and even if they have no monetary value, they are still
valuable to you.
