    My wife and I are DINKs (dual-income, no kids) so we're pretty easy on each other about hobby spending (her: horse and skiing, me: music and, to a lesser extent, electronics). Sometimes I tease her that at least my hobbies contribute to the household. I occasionally get paid money to play music and, less frequently, I make an electronic gadget that we use at home. Besides, I handle all the finances. She just cruises along without worrying about the bank account.

    So it sounds like you maintain a global network of devoted mistresses who traffic in illegal drugs, outlawed weapons, state secrets and bundled home mortgage securities, too, eh?

    I admire your outstanding business plan, ElectricAye. Fiendishly clever. But, no, my story is a bit more prosaic:

    I made my first fortune selling Merle Haggard memorabilia at a local swap meet. One thing led to another and now I run a whiskey distribution network at local junior high schools, roughly following a business plan gleaned from my Junior Achievement experience.

    I had such a laugh when I read your early post on the first page where you had this

    Sam, the sad reality is that I'll never be as funny as ElectricAye. He inspires me to try, but you can judge for yourself how ineffective it is.

    The reality, of course, is that I have nothing to do with swap meets, Merle Haggard, whiskey, or Junior High schools. JA was the only content with any factual basis whatsoever.

    After my marriage survived my buying a laser cutter, Parallax purchases aren't that big of a shock.

    I'm still single. Means, I could still purchase some stuff with my limited pocket money. I'm just graduated, between jobs, and I'm 25. Man, I just want to be 18 again! :)

    Funny, I'd like to be 25 again. Enjoy it while you can.

    I'm enjoying. But if I'm 18, I could enjoy stuff with higher intensity. Agh, nevermind... at least I'm still enjoying new electronic stuff. :)
