I'm at a point in the hobby where every time I make a purchase, be it groceries or entertainment, it's always compared to the price of a T. For instance, I was shopping online for a circular saw and the first thing that came to mind was, "Hmmm... I could get about 4-6 spiders plus shipping for that".

Anyone else inflicted with this dilemma?

I was going to get a vinegaroon for 35 dollars plus around 40 dollars shipping once...which is why I waited till I found one at a pet store.

That's one of the most lovely things I've heard today but a circular saw should come first than spiders, for me :pompous:

I do that sometimes when I'm paying bills - grrr, think of all the T's I could buy with this money!

You need to watch the half full part of the glass: paying your bills (a duty) make America, your nation (the land of firearms and fast food) a bit more prosper and great across the fields of freedom that were given to you (the Americans) with the blessing of the great almighty God :pompous:

How could I forget. But you forgot the part where if you work hard and save you will be able to afford all the T's you want (I think that's in there somewhere).

Dude it's only a problem if you don't stop what you are doing, and don't order those 8 legged freaks. If you don't order them, you are not committed to the cause at all ;)

I do that with everything haha

"They want 1,200$ for that kitten?! Nope. I can get a nice gelding instead!"

"You spent 180$ at the salon? I could buy a female A. minatrix for that much!"

"Your new shoes were 60$? I got all these books for 40$... think of how many more I could have gotten with another 20$!"

:rofl:
