If Money Was Not A Concern . . . . . .

[Treeguy]

I would continue to collect SERENITY, PEACE OF MIND AND GRATITUDE which at times can still be elusive.

Hobbies can be addictive and are only a TEMPORARY fix!

Wisdom, good sir.

That's a pretty generic statement. You've obviously read a lot into my OP that isn't there. Furthermore, I think it would depend entirely on how one came about "enough money". I would agree with your statement if the money was gained without effort; say from a lottery. However, I totally disagree one's life would be so boring he or she would envy their friends after any amount of time had passed when they had worked four decades to earn "enough money".

Oh, I was answering from the point-of-view of person asked by a hypothetical, generic question....as your MAIN title says "[h=2]If Money Was Not A Concern . . . . . .[/h]
...and not the 'what would you collect' question in the post proper

Oh, I see the problem. You've a short attention span. Pity.

EDIT: I apologize for the snarky retort. It was typed while under the influence of irritation and a screwdriver. I know better.

While not being ample reason for my lack of judgment, I do wish members would refrain from posting rather than fulfilling their need to inform everyone how better adjusted they are than those of us that were enjoying a thread where we could share our dream collections. Please guys, just move along.

Hey Chance,
Sorry it took 4 days to reply....obviously I am moving a little slower than usual. The good news is that even though I destroyed the 25 year artificial knee in less than 5 years, there is hope-the titanium part that attaches to the thigh bone(femur), was still intact so they did not have to chisel 100% of the old prosthesis away. The aspect where polyurethane plastic meets between the bone was entirely shredded so it was titanium on titanium-there is now about 2 inches between femur & tibia(the X-ray looks really strange). Anyway, I finally made it over the crest and am finally feeling like I am on the mend. I just bought a brass "Reylight" and have a Titanium host enroute. He really does some great work. I also had trouble resisting the DTO Penlight from Four Sevens(only $20).....I have been going through "Flashlight Ordering Withdrawal Syndrome"...I sit and stare out the window watching as the postman drops off envelopes with no packages [emoji403][emoji22][emoji26]☹️....I confess I did buy some knives and electronics though.......

Ha ha! It's good for a man to have a hobby. I'm glad you have something you enjoy while you pass the time healing. Saw your new scar. WOW! Not what I'd describe as micro-surgery. :shakehead

Perhaps your new knee should have a burst mode. One that would step-down when you were overloading it.

This is certainly a risk for some people. It does make me admire folks like Bill Gates who've managed to think critically about what to do with an enormous fortune and how to use it to help humanity. I have to admire him for that, despite my antipathy for him for the various ways that Microsoft Windows has tortured me in the past.

Interesting question !


I've always been a fan of old / classic cars
(and trucks).


And always thought the BEST way of
"preserving" these would be inside
a container or room with a Pure Nitrogen
atmosphere. To best limit any degradation
caused by Oxygen.


Yes, it would certainly limit any
closeup admiration of these vehicles,
but they would be thereby kept in
their "Showroom condition"
almost indefinitely !

( Kept up on Jacks, of course )


Sure beats a Barn Find , eh ?


( just a thought . . . . )
