C.com Should Have A Warning Label

[Downsea]

We all know the feeling. There are so many talented people on here and they make items you cannot buy in stores anywhere.

I smiled quite a bit reading this thread and this post. I just happened to be looking at the order sheet Reverend!

We always try and warn ya but sometimes it just doesn't work.

When it comes to the cost of fishing one can always do what we did when I was diving. Use the three D's. Deny,Deny,Deny

I'm blaming the dwindling funds on a lot of the enablers around here when she comes at me with the next bank statement.

Just sayin'.

Oh heavens you're just gettin' started! Wait 'til you've been on here a while .. you'll REALLY be in trouble!

A couple of years ago I invited a friend (who is an avid fly fisherman) to go crappie fish with me on my boat. On the lake we were catching crappie and I noticed that he was using some expensive looking fly fishing gear. So I ask " what do those nice Loomis rods cost?" " about $600" was his reply. "And that reel?" I ask. 'Oh, it not top of the line....it was a bit over $500".

I was amazed. "Are you telling me that your rod and reel cost nearly $1200 plus high dollar waders and the rest of that costume that fly fishermen wear just to wade in the creek? .

Without a moments hesitation he simply ask "How much did this boat cost?"...

If it gets much worse, I'll have to start looking fer a 12-step program somewhere.
Every time I click on this site to check out what's up...my hip pocket draws up.

Yeah, there could be a warning about the "Monkey Virus" that infects some people on this site. It comes in various forms, and is really bad in early Spring ... after a long period of cabin fever. Some of the more potent versions are known as :

The "Bait Monkey"
The "Equipment Monkey"
The "New/Newer Boat Monkey"

These infections can have a devastating effect on one's ability to function, until "treated". Treatment can get expensive, depending upon how deeply bitten one is and/or how deep ones pockets are. There is no known cure, but a frugal mindset can hold back some of the expense of treatment.

Yep...and some of those "Monkey Virus" infections originate from a passle of posts signed by one CrappiePappy.
What with the detailed, helpful "how-I-do-it's" and the "I-use-this-and-it-works-fer-me" posts around here, my list of gotta-gets is longer than my...errr, her bank account.

I've got the Monkey on my back also. It sets in badly when I can't get out on the water fishing. I'd bet my spending on fishing gear doubles/triple in the wintertime. See picture, read story & spend the money. Thats the cycle I'm currently caught in.
If I ever got my wife involved we would go completely broke.
