I would have less unfinished projects if I stayed off the computer and sorted my stuff and placed them in their appropiate albums. Maybe I should do that......then again Spring is here and the road is calling my name. Plus my wife calling my name for yard/house work and my son to play with him. |

There's too much to do to be bored. In the last two days I shipped over 300+ packets of auction lots from ebay. My local post office ran out of 1st class stamps. Now I need sleep. Will |

Dianne - don't let hubby get away with too much for too long. It can get to be a habit. |

I can't say that I ever get bored, but sometimes I do have to put my stamp stuff away for a week or so to get "refreshed" and "re-energized."
That's how I got the energy to start my Israel collection, and now my Pitcairn Island collection (coming soon to an album near me). |

Philb: Not really. It's hard to serve two masters. Sometimes I'll run away from the computer and sort my loose U.S. stamps.

Battlestamps..Will, I know what you mean..i have never looked at ebay as a money maker..its like a fantasy of mine to be able to have my stamp purchases covered by my stamp sales(not that they have to be) probably because I have so many stamps lying around !! |

Quick maths.
Stamp purchases - stamp sales = zero = happy wife
Stamp purchases - stamp sales = surplus = wife kept in the dark
or
Stamp purchases - stamp sales = deficit = unhappy wife
Easy |

Or you can do like I did and take the wife out of the equation!  Of course, your mileage may vary on that one... -Allen |
