So I qualified!!
 
That's a good list. I don't see anything about planning your vacation around audio shops that you've been wanting to visit!
 
Mike... Thanks for posting. I guess I am too. I've done this a few times!!!

Thanks for this, so many of them ring true. I do keep funds in a PayPal account unbeknownst to significant other, and have equipment drawers, multiple systems, duplicate CDs, LPs, etc. Oy I'm hooked all right!
