You know I like some of you guys so much more after reading this. lol Reminds me of going to the GI Joe convention for the first time last year in my back yard of RI. Now here you knew everyone was there for the toys but who would be cool with pot? It did not take long to find a couple great guys that were down for a puff. The next year we doubled our group. It's always nice to know that no matter where you are for a convention some one's holding.

I've collected toys and art ever since I learned to stop destroying my toys as a kid. My mother was a second generation antique dealer and collecting was encouraged. I think there used to be a stigmata about telling people you collect something. But now I think it is more socially acceptable. I put art and toy pics on face book, I don't care who sees them. A pic of me smoking a J in the back of a limo def not. Although I think more people know I smoke at work than people that know how many toys I have at the house.

I think it is great that most of us have found a significant other accepting this addiction. The first thing I did when looking for my girl was making sure she was good with the drugs. Didn't want that to be an immediate turn off. The toys came next. She still doesn't know exactly how much I have but I get packages monthly and she has not said anything yet. Fingers crossed. Great thread.
