    One of my "things" is knives... Only a few of what I have... that is if my kids have "barrowed" them...

    Top to Bottom: Cold Steel Voyager Tanto (39 months in Iraq), Buck Stockman (I have three of these because I like them that much), Kershaw Leek (2 of these), Buck Solo & CRKT Dragon

    Phil" not a knife collector nut I have a leek and a scallion half serrated. Nice knives. The leek is nearly the perfect pocket knife.

    I won't see any communication directed to me here. I'm no longer active at this forum.

    For me it's games.
    Chess boards,
    Cribbage boards,
    Darts & boards,
    BB's in a box games,
    Puzzles,
    All those ADHD kinda mind teasers.

    This is 1500 piece black and white puzzle of four part chamber music.

    With a Buck Stockman and Vise Grips you can fix everything but our government .

    I didn’t think I was going to like the Leek, it was an e-Bay buy and I had no Idea how it felt in the hand… I sure do like it now; I never leave home without it!

    I believe that everyone (at least men) should have four things to carry on in life...

    1. A Good Knife-To kill food with
    2. A Zippo Lighter-To cook food with
    3. A Favorite Pipe w/Tobacco-To smoke after dinner
    4. A Bucket of COMMON SENCE!-To reason with the unreasonable…

    I used to collect guitars. Didn't really play them. Just liked the way they looked. At one point I had over 20 Fenders and Gibsons. Today I only have two. A black Fender strat and a cherry red Les Paul.

    NASCAR...Everything else is just a game.

    Since retiring in December, 2008, I've mamaged to collect about 40 lbs and 7 inches around my waist. Does that count?

    I've always been crazy but it's kept me from going insane.

    Damn guys... now I've got to find something that I want to collect. I don't know why I don't maybe it's because we have moved so many times with my career and moving everything we have is a big enough pain. Hmmm I'll come up with something... motorcycles... nope she'll never let that happen. I come up with something.

    As an example to others, and not that I care for moderation myself, it has always been my rule never to smoke when asleep, and never to refrain from smoking when awake.

    bump for the newbies to respond

    Marry the right person, this one decision will determine 90% of your happiness.

    Does a culture based on seperation and competition, of scientific sophistication and mideval religion, offer happiness even as it ravishes the Earth that sustains it?

    Collecting things keeps getting me into trouble, since I collect old cars (VW's especially) motorcycles, and what my Wife declares as Junk, but most of the time the junk is old stuff that I replaced in the house, and once in a great while I get the satisfaction of using some of that old "junk" and get to tell my wife "arent you glad I kept it?" and I get a HMMMPPPFFFFF!

    I have a fairly large collection of Santons de Provence that comes out of the attic in Advent. They're still hanging around on the dining room table, waiting to be packed away for the next 11 months.
