re: Ridiculous things you always buy.....

Every Easter I buy those Cadbury cream eggs. Pure evil in the shape of an egg.
Love 'em.

Nothing in particular, but I'm a sucker for specials. I'll drink twice as much at happy hour even if I don't really want the buzz. Wait, was the question, "What makes you an alcoholic?"

But it really applies to any 2-fer (sorry, now called "BOGO," apparently--like "NOLA," I don't remember ever seeing that until fairly recently).

Or "package deals" like 3 different Dremel tools when I really need just one for the task at hand. Total sucker.

I also can't walk into Costco without spending at least $500. Sometimes I know what causes it, like a printer and a bunch of steaks or 44 lbs of limes. Other times I feel like I've spent $75. Nope. $500.

The good thing is, apart from alcohol I don't typically buy shite I won't eventually "need." Those limes go fast with handles of Kirkland tequila.

In the past couple of years, I have amassed a collection of about 125 bottles of wine, 40 bottles of bourbon, and a fridge full of about 30 different brands of beer. None of it really remarkable. Some of it's nice, but nothing rare or hard to find. That's not counting the two dozen or so bottles of Vodka, gin, liqueurs, mixers, etc. that go with all of that; or the 20 Marilyn Monroe branded wines that are for collection only. And I haven't drunk more than a beer or two in the last month and a half. Bought two bottles of wine tonight. Don't know why I do it.

Those are pretty solid doomsday preps. More so than what most people buy to prep.

Jo Malone fragrances. I don't really need that much cologne/lotion nor do I wear a lot of fragrance, but their stuff smells good!

Knives, i have about 75 of them. And flashlights, from cheap to crazy expensive flashlights, i can’t get enough of them.

Monster Energy drinks. And they don't help a bit.

Paper, notebooks and pens. I probably have enough to open my own store but I still buy it when it’s on sale.

Cocaine.

The less you want, the more you got. So don't you cry for more.

Ammo, Grade 8 bolts, welding wire and Red Seal.
