The only stamps I throw away are common US definitives, such as flags, on paper. Now someone on here will shriek in horror because that is something they want !

I believe in the world of addiction treatment, switching one habit for another is called "harm reduction" as long as the newer habit is less harmful than the first. So how are we doing?

Have you ever considered you might have an Acquisition Disorder?

Hi, my name is Mary-Jane, I'm an acquisitioner. It started with stamps and then I was struck by the beauty of fine Victorian china. Now there's no place to sit.... or stand... or sleep.

Have to admit, like so many others here, that junk lots are fun. To keep the clutter at bay, I try to buy single items at the moment. But the joy of getting a big pack which I only have a certain idea of its contest is so much more fun than getting, say, and old postcard or cancellation from Finnřy (even though that is great fun too. ).

I'll take stamps over anything smokeable or drinkable anyday.

yup, that's my real name and I've heard all the jokes, but don't let that stop you!
