GAS. It gets into your whole life

manicguitarist

About35yrs ago, I bought a guitar. Still have it. It is, tbh, more than good enough for pretty any occasion. Recorded 2 cds with it. 33yrs ago I bought a 2nd guitar. I now have more guitars than I can immediately count...at least 10. Oh yeah, 2 Marshall stacks, a Marshall valve combo and a 6kw pa rig.

GAS happens.

Not just guitars though.

Up until 5yrs ago I had one motorbike...then I got another...and cos reasons I kept the first one...and then , blaming multibike insurance...I’ve just bought a 3rd...purely for pillion duties with Jnr on the back...and all of sudden I’m going “hmmmm” at a 4th.

And dogs. You can’t have too many dogs. I had one dog...now...well, lets say ppl call me “crazy dog man”

GAS. The struggle is real.

There is one exception. I had one kid. Last week I went and got another. Lovely as it is, I defiantly don’t have GAS for a third.

I have Jnr. He is my world. I’d have liked more kids...but divorce

Anyways...erm...ahem...so yeah...GAS!

My wife disagrees.

We've recently had our 3rd and she's on about a 4th. I'm considering cutting my balls off just to be sure.

After the second I worked out what was causing it and put a stop to that. To make sure I had a vasectomy and asked them to use rusty tools to punish the blighter that caused the trouble.

Just show her the sort of vehicles (cars no longer cut it) you’d need to drive in order to have 4 kids, that should do it.

We had Twins, definitely not a 2 for 1 deal as my guitar collection would attest

Are you saying kids don't work on the last in,  first out basis?

Cameras.     

Theres a collection that never stops growing, bodies, lenses, filters,  More bloody accessories that I can count and they have their own bags.

I've only ever had the one vasectomy though.

I suspect this has more to do with disposable income than GAS, but you deserve it anyway.

I don't like having loads of stuff. I find it's an encumbrance.
Enough is a sufficiency thereof.

That doesn't work in all circumstances......

A guitar you pay for once and if you are lucky the value goes up.

A kid is free, but you keep throwing lots of money at them until the day you die, when they take everything that you own, all the money in your bank account and all your guitars - which will probably be sold on eBay for a third of their value whilst your lifeless body is still warm.

I have 4 kids .....

None of you keep fish then lol. Ornaments, plants, water conditioner, plant food, fish food the list goes on.

Wives, get one, then a second and now I am typing this from jail.

Without counting the lone bass, I now have as many dogs as I have guitars.

Our houses are full of shit that we can’t live without.

Apart from guitars, for my other hobbies, cooking, running, kayaking and cycling I spend as little as I can get away with to have sufficiently competent stuff.  Unlike guitars where I spend as much as I can justify to myself.

This ^^

I don't like having loads of stuff either. 
Lots of possessions bog me down bigtime...
Stuff spilling out of drawers
Stuff rammed in Cupboards
Stuff shoved under the bed
Stuff behind the couch
Stuff fired up the loft
Stuff filling up the garage.
Stuff
Stuff
Stuff

Nightmare.

Such a waste of time and energy trying to keep it all in order...

@speshul91 Reef-keeping is a money black hole. I sold all my corals, fish, inverts and my expensive filtration systems, lighting etc (at an enormous loss) to get a dog. Superb decision.

My dog costs me about £1 a day all in. Bargain.
