    The less expensive way is to buy ear plugs.

    Jings! Wonder how often he buys something because he'd forgotten that he already had one?

    I have a buddy that collects cars but he is so wealthy that I really can't use him, well, because he's so wealthy.

    What I can use is my wife's friend's husband - he collects guns. A lot of guns. And ammo. And knives. Probably has explosives...

    On the other hand I could threaten to collect snakes or roaches...

    Just go count how many pairs of black shoes she owns.

    If you mean "bird hunting" as my British friends use the term, I think you are correct. I often think that a focus on a pristine dial or unpolished case often keeps me from ruminating on a well-turned set of gams.

    Exactly. A guy I play hockey with does a lot of fishing. When his wife complained about him buying all the fishing rods in his garage, he just replied "These are my shoes."

    And designer handbags.
    I did explain to my wife how important it is to hold on to all the boxes and papers :)

    .... but .... but ...... I only have 8 pair. :( Forget about what each pair cost. :confused: :D

    My wife has tried the argument that the one pair of Ferragamos cost more than 4 or 5 of her pairs of shoes. I fire back with the LV, Coach, Dooney & Bourke, and Burberry bags cluttering 3 different rooms. ;)
