Things you can never buy too many of
You know, the items where if you have the money, you'll never or very rarely get tired of buying them. I'm this way with CDs. I know that with a collection as big as mine, I'll never be able to give them all a lot of listens. But I love music so much that I thrive on the experience of listening to something new - and I see myself as a collector.

2. Bicycles.
It's a thrill to wander out of the bathroom in the morning and see your personal FLEET ready to do your bidding...

Wonder how many I could park in the bathroom?

3. CD's, definitely
Edited on Fri May-20-05 05:50 PM by Wickerman
its almost embarrassing - and sadly, before that is was LPs.

And, another thing - and old woodworker once told me you can never have enough clamps - turned out he was right - I pick up clamps every time I go to an auction, a garage sale, to the hardware store - but there is is always another one I need. Other than that, oh, and books, can never have too many of those things, oh, and maybe floppies - well, now its CDr's - but then last year I got a DVDr+/-...

6. Pens
Fountain, ballpoint, rollerball. Expensive, cheap, doesn't matter (although I prefer the collectible ones more than disposables).

19. I'm with you on that one
I must have about 30 pair of shoes - the funny part is, the only ones I really ever wear are my work shoes and my sneakers. I just like having them.

I would add books to the list, though.

9. Shirts.
OK, call me crazy, but I can never get enough shirts. Especially if they're on sale. A few months back I wanted to see how long I could go without having to go to the cleaners. When I finally took my clothes to the cleaners I had 85 shirts to be cleaned. I could have went longer because I had another 50 shirts in my closet and another 20 or so that have never even been worn. I think it comes from growing up the 7th of 8 kids and always having to wear hand-me-downs.

21. I love buying books
I always buy enough so that I won't run out of them to read. My buying obsession isn't as big as with CDs, though. :-)

27. That's it. that's the one. Can you ever have enough books?
I say no. I re-read, alot, so I don't consider it frivolous. Mortgage payments, electricity, thats frivolous.

18. I guess I could never have too many bracelets, or too much makeup, or too
many sexy bras, or too many pairs of cute underwear. I also have run out of space for books, they are now being arranged in decorative piles next to chairs, couches, tables...I also can never have too many kitchen gadgets. And do NOT get in my way in the shoe or handbag department...a girl just needs a decent shoe supply (preferably a room of their own)

AND, chip clips...you can never have too many chip clips.

Oh wait, and good bottles of liquor, wine and micro-brews. Yah never know when a gazillion people will show up all wanting something different to drink.
