Hi I'm Alf and I'm a gun-aholic
« on: August 21, 2010, 08:45:34 AM »
Oh My Gosh.  Cleaning off the desk this morning.  Filing away papers.

I've had to start a separate folder for Midway USA invoices !


To make matters worse my "wish list" on-line is only 2 pages long and totals $2K.....without shpping!

I don't know why I keep all the invoices.....maybe I have some "problem".   


WAIT WAIT..    What's this?   If I'd only bought one of these when they were new, then all my problems would have been solved.










FYI:  For those who've never had the need, MidwayUSA has a fantastic on-line system where you can recall all your past invoices.   So why do I keep all the paperwork again?

Good for you Alf.  The first step is to admit you have an issue, and you have cleared that hurdle.

Now find an accountability friend, load the range bags, and blast away  ;D

Why yes ... I am an enabler ... any other questions

The best way to treat a post-purchase "hangover" is to partake of the hair of the dog what bit 'ya.  Buy 2 guns and call me in the morning... we'll go shooting.   ;D

I'm working on the immersion technique.  Works with a number of phobias I thought it might help here.   I'm trying surround myself with as many firearms and ammo as possible in hopes I'll become over saturated and will be cured.

Check back with me just before I kick the bucket and I'll let you know how it worked out.





The new range I just joined allows one purchase at cost+$50 per year.   Naturally I asked is that membership year or calendar year.

WTF Alf???? A 2-page wish list and it's only $2000. What is up with that? This ain't no addiction, only a mere trifling. Try harder Alf, try harder!

Hey those are just the reloading and tool accessories.  The guns, mags and sights are a separate list...... a never ending list.
