"Never slowed done one bit, still looking, still buying, graduation gifts need to be bought, retirement gifts need to be bought, Bday gifts need to be bought....."
"The loot has arrived! Teenage boys at my house fondled all the items and approved, they did ask if anything should be considered "collectible" and treated with care or can be rotated into every day carry? I am more of a user than a…"
