WARNING: This Forum Can Be Harmful To Your Wallet

And this is a bad thing how???  

It caused me to miss my "Old Man Nap" today!

The doorbell kept ringing.

Always happy to assist where I can to "enliven" domestic tranquility. Do NOT, however, neglect those treats for the dogs! I am a major dog lover in the first degree, and will personally track down those who neglect man's best friends in any way.  

Hey Chipset,

Can you add 3railmike to the list for me?

As I may have to hunt him down soon about the purchase of some MTH hopper cars.

I would send Flipper the Dolphin but he only does aquatic stuff.

My cats are not trained for cold weather as yet, but I think I will start with the little one. They do almost anything for some kitty treats.

Maybe not good for your wallet, but great for the kid inside you. You can go to the train room and leave everything behind. A line of smoke and the sound of the whistle and everything else goes away.   

Chipset

Funny, But I know what your talking about. You could always tell her the train hobby is better than hanging out in bars.

Know that song "I never seen a Hearst with a trailer hitch on it"

So ya can't take all that money with you.

chipset -

I am curious, what did I inspire you to purchase?

Do I owe you, your wife or your dogs an apology?  The last thing I wanna do is upset somebodys wife or dog(s).

WHEW!!!!!!  I'm glad I'm one of the lucky ones.  But, look at it this way, other than dog bones what else could you possibly want to spend your money on?

BTW, Christmas is coming.

IT AINOT JUST THIS FORUM, WHICH IS HARMFUL TO THE WALLET, BUT ALSO THIS, HERE, HOBBY!!!!!!!!!!

Ralph

The forum only provides enthusiasm and perhaps more incentive to spend. Most of us developed the addictive compulsive disorder long ago. On one hand it can be said that you only live once so enjoy but the other question is how many trains do you really need?? Although I have toned things down of late, something new or old always grabs my interest. Even if it is built and you wish to improve your layout there is always the opportunity to spend thousands more in adding scenery detail, lighting and operating accessories. It never stops!

thank you.  I am so proud to be on your list.  Please tell your wife I will work even harder to see that the UPS guy is coming to your house every day.  

I am sure happy to be on your list. 

Anything to help out a fellow forum member.

Allan Miller:  Your stock just jumped 5,000 points (IMHO) with your 'doggie' post!

It is always a pleasure to help someone else spend money since it seems I am always getting help from others spending mine!!

Alan

Just one of a few of your posts, but this one with your posts of those beautiful Santa Fe Warbonnets sent me into Santa Fe mode, as I have no "new" Santa Fe warbonnets at all.

Just some vintage post war I do not run.

Here are some pictures Allan:

Beautiful dogs and very nice pix of them!

  Well shoot, I guess I didn't make the cut...just remember trains will get you through times of no hobby money better than hobby money will get you through times of no trains...

Beautiful Huskies.  We had two collies.  The oldest passed away in Oct from old age.  I will be looking to add another dog in the New Year as a companion for our remaining collie.  Dogs and model trains go so well together.

You must learn to never look at the pictures! (Or read the for sale forum.) My daughter has a husky and it's one of the nicest dogs I have been around, really a nice dog. It has different colored eyes.

Beautiful pooches, Chipset! You (and they) are lucky!

I don't have another dog yet, but will definitely have another one in the not-too-distant future (she or he will be a rescue). In the meantime, I volunteer at a local shelter several days a week where I can help find forever homes for other deserving dogs and cats. Unfortunately, there never is a shortage.

Chipset,

That is a very funny post!  I could list a few members of this Forum who have been harmful to my wallet too!  I keep thinking of more of them as I type this.  In fact, since I didn't go out today, I never shoveled the driveway and sidewalk, and my friendly neighborhood mail man had to trudge in to drop off a package.  No, it wasn't something I purchased for my wife in celebration of our 30th anniversary next weekend either.  I still have to get that one.

However, I can not blame any Forum members.  I am responsible for my own actions.  Yes, it has been fun!

chipset,

    Truer words were never spoken, and my name did not make your list so I am in the clear!
