it's either that, or the hole in your pocket where you would normally drop everything but the keys to the car.

That's what my fear is - that I'll be left with a re-occurring smoldering hole in my pocket.

Wait a minute--you're broke and you QUIT spending money? You keep talking like that and you're going to find yourself in Congress! We need you and more like you. You've already got my vote.

Man o Man ... the Spending Virus ...

I think it's bad in anything you get yourself into ... be it Modding cars or video and photography.

I've gone into HCE before thinking I am looking around ... and end up coming out with a lens or 2 and a few bags.

Then the internet ... man ... Freaking Paypal makes it too easy ... I end up spending more than I know with that clicker finger of mine ........ when I get on those sites B&H / Adorama or whatever ... I should find a mouse with only a scroll button.

One good thing, this disease isn't terminal and the symptoms disappear for a short time after each injection (into the local economy that is).

It may not be terminal, but it sure does create bad cases of ISS - irritable spouse syndrome.

Woops, went to HCE today and bought a 17-55 2.8 so I posted some stuff for sale on this website to have a little zen balance on the spending. I think I'm finding some closure with this illness.
