On the client side, this is supposed to be FUN and just a SUPPLEMENT to a happy life. I hope some of you guys took the distance to stop making the hobby your entire world. Stay safe and happy hobbying!

The pattern increased to once a week and eventually a minimum of twice a week by the time ECCIE went down.
This vacation from ECCIE managed to put things in perspective; mainly the fact that I was getting carried away on the spending. Through networking I managed to meet and play with two gorgeous UTR spinners whom I saw a few times during the outage. Those babes are mainly out of the picture now since kids are home for the summer.
With things back to normal on ECCIE, I continue to hobby once or twice a month.
My ATF, although an UTR, continued and continues to be there so most of my longer than hour visits continue to be with her. The spending has been drastically reduced and now that I've got things in perspective, I'm not jumping in on the action unless someone very intriguing comes along.
