If you are like me, you have to work to pay for a place to sleep and food to eat. Makes matters even more dire.

phil,

Take deep breath and let it out slowly, but be careful not to blow your stamp piles around. Leave the room and do something completely different like eat food. Above all do not pick up a magazine that has anything to do with stamps and do not look at any envelopes that have stamps on them. This to shall pass...lol

phil.. send a bunch to me I'll help you out..

I know the feeling though, I spent most of Saturday and Sunday researching and cataloging stamps.. I finally started with the "A"'s last night in the WW.
I did come across a boatload of stamps from Ajman... some seem to be postally used.. but, heck there were just too many of them to have come from one country in such a short period.

There is no help for the stamp collector.

There is no known cure for the bite of the stamping bug.

Stamps are taking over the world! The whole world. There is nothing to stop..........

Phil I feel your pain.

But I have it twice as bad. I am addicted to stamps and gardening.

So I broke all the time

Dianne,
You can "cure" the gardening bug, as I have, by moving to the desert.

Unfortunately, it only shifts the focus.
Now I'm growing, or attempting to grow, cactus.

Hot summers leave lots of time for stamping. :)

Do your gardening on stamps only - collect flowers!
