    This is now pretty much just a test of will for me. I'll have no problem avoiding eBay. The "no records" thing will be the real challenge. I was getting to the point of obsessiveness with this record shit. It bothered me. So, I chose to take a step back.

    In the meantime, I'm stacking paper with your face and name on it Jonny. Hold something over for a hommie until mid-July if you can.

    i've decided to take the summer off work, which means less cash.

    frolicking in the sun and not sitting at a computer, less money and hitting up stores/yard sales instead of ebay for one month seems like a pretty good trade to me!


  • Y'all know the dood who won "the contest" in Seinfeld cheated right?

    Where's this summer bidness? All the things I check for on there have been slooow the past two weeks....

    I just jerked one off...

    I'm out. The Latin Jazz LP thread got me.

    I'm gonna restart a no digging fast in a week when aforementioned grail is over. This thread should go on as the 12-Step section of the strut, even after the first group finishes on 7/15.

    Godspeed.

    is it too late to join in ? this sounds like a really good idea to quit, i've been trying and find it harder to quit than smoking, espcially when there is three copies of feelings up on ebay right now and even when my paypal account is down to $0.00

    my account name is davesrecords.com so people can make sure i'm not cheating...

    oh this is strictly about buying records right ?

    Dave,

    It is never too late to save yourself from yourself!

    The choice is yours, what are you down for? No eBay or no records?

    I'm feeling a kind of liberated cool right now. But, ask me again this weekend when I'm in MI, having cold sweat dreams about driving to the Record Graveyard and swimming in a pool of raer.

    Somebody hide the keys.

    The true test of my will is quickly approaching...

  • Mike_BellMike_Bell 5,736 Posts
    I don't care to buy anymore records. Not for the time being, that is.

    My next investment is in a quality laptop and a new car.

    s.d.

    I survived my trip back home to Detroit City; getting ready for the home stretch.

  • Word, I'm still in. It's getting harder though.

    Shit is hardcore but cigarettes and beer have gotten me thru this.
