I've got it Baaaaaadddd...

My name is Russ and I'm a flashaholic.

Since I fell off the wagon on 6/17/06, I've acquired:

2 Aleph's w/extra bodies, A Surefire M3, a KL6 head, 5 Fenix P1's, A Jil DD, an Orb Raw 3 watt, 60 more CR 123's as well as rechargeable 123's, rechargeable CR2's and 5 chargers. I think that's it...

Somebody stop me...

oops. Add a Gladius, Surefire and Aleph parts {gotta have spares, right?}, and another charger.

Why? You'r wife will take care of that for us. :lolsign:

Besides, it's fun to have all these lights (and want more). Keep it up!

Sorry, but the diagnosis is quite clear by now.

So the question is: which therapy will be effective?

1) instant admittance into a psychiatric ward (they want to frisk you good)?
2) video home training (they hide all your lights first)?
3) FA-group (Flashaholics Anonymous, of course)?
4) membership of a patient contact group?
5) migration to the North Pole (march-sept) and South Pole (oct-feb)?

Probably a combination of all five will give you a 40% chance of full recovery within two years.

Gosh, those are a lot of lights (and dollars!); (are you (still) married?) in one month! Enjoy! LOL

Stop you!?!?!?!?!? Shoot.....I'm jealous.

Bwahahaha!!!

Those treatments seem somewhat extreme...but if I have to...

Actually, my wife and I seperated after 22 years {her idea} last year.

But it was custom knives before the flashlights {hence my screenname}, but she never said much about it, she has 6 horses {aka moneypits} .


Seriously, this is bad {but it hurts so good }, I find myself coming here in the morning, on lunch, and both breaks at work, not to mention the evening!!!

throw in some lights from Inova and Streamlight

Just wondering...why 5 Fenix P1s? why choose this odd number, why not six? six is the smallest perfect number

or even 7

one for every day of the week :help:

You need a Lion Cub to round things out:lolsign:

most of the P1's were gotten for use as gifts and trade fodder.

Ahhhh, a binge flashaholic, my favorite kind!

After more than a two year hiatus, I decided to update my collection. Since May I have purchased two HDS B42s (one a gift), two Blaster 1R, a P1 (a gift), a Civictor, a L1T, an Orb Raw, 9 SMJLED PR2, numerous primary and rechargable cells, 4 stars and 2 chargers.

The major difference between you and I is that where you "have it bad", I'm normal. Perfectly normal.

I'm very sorry, BladeZealot, but real cures are few and far between and VERY expensive. Call me if you are serious. Trust me, I am a psychotherapist.
Greg
HDS, Inova, TerraLux, Arc, Longbow, ... and (sob) customs
Sebenza, Bark River, Fallkniven, Dozier, Benchmade, ... and (sob) customs

:thinking: I really don't see what the problem is.

Russ,

Nice to see over here man! I think you need a good custom light to go with each of your Mayos. You know you want to.

I already have more lights than Mayos. But when he called last night he reaffirmed I'm getting #001 LEFTY 25 th anniversary model WOOHOO!!!!

Now I gotta pay for it

Flashlights are easier to afford

I do love that guy, though

Wow, lucky for you I ran into this post. We need to get you started on my 12 step program quick! First step is to send me all those lights...as fast as you can...I will share with you the remaining 11 steps upon their arrival. Yep, ...your a lucky dog alright. Don`t delay...things will only get worse.

Be warned, there are many people who claim to be able to help in this manner but they are frauds. They tend to use pressure tactics in getting you to send them your lights... pressure tactics like "send me all those lights... as fast as you can..."

Don't be fooled by frauds. What you really need to do is TAKE YOUR TIME and send your lights to ME. Then I can help.

:naughty: I'm glad I could help you out on your illness.

Another mere wannabee! Lemme see, ~20 SFs including a Beast, Polarion clone, McColloch X990, Maxabeam, Most of my "competitors's" CR2 offerings, and three tank searchlights. Then there's the lathe and mill in my garage, not to mention the tooling therefore. You got it baaaad- give some of us a break! :thumbsup:
