Re: On a serious note: Is diecast collecting an obsession and/or addiction?

Skunky's diecast purchasing rule #1 - If I can't pay for it up front, I don't buy it...no exceptions to this rule whatsoever (I don't care if it is a Corgi Collector's Club gold-plated Mustang)

Absolutely my golden rule as well. No exceptions.

(Oh man, I love that Benny Hill avatar! Sheese!)

Cav,
Be careful - they are addicting also! We had one, then took a trip to Dunkin Donuts...the car next to us was full of Shih-Tzus...by the end of the day we had another one!! They are great dogs, more like people really, and very friendly companions.

I love him when he's not cranky. We had a vet appt. yesterday and the vet said he has a male dominant personality. He's 5.5 pounds, but he wants to dictate what goes on in this household. Once he leaves puppy age and gets snipped, he'll be much more amicable. Until then, he's a little terror.
 

Don't do what BDE tells you to do. Do what BDE would want you to do.

What it really means is that I could find the tongue-in-cheek smiley.

We really do need one of those...I would have it permanently attached....
