    Before my RAD I had WAD (watch acquisition disorder) and was into old vintage watches. Not the high end guys, but the Bulovas, Hamiltons.... To support my WAD I started selling replacement watch crystals on ebay. So now my modest ebay income now goes to RAD. I can't justify taking family income for my adictions.

    I assume any man making money on extortion is running the game. At least that's how we'd expect it here.

    OSAP pays for most of my RAD, I gotta pay them back though... Eventually

I do not have to sacrifice any important things in order to support my RAD. It is however bothersome all the same. I have enough razors to supply my entire region. So for me it is not what I have to do without that shows the junky, it is the rapid amassing of stuff. I buy razors faster than I can repair and shave with each one once. It is not just razors for me either, G10, horn, bone slabs, plastic, it is a little disheartening when I look at it all disorganized.
    Shaun, instead of being disheartened get yourself some good storage
    I can't abide having piles of junk and miscellany lying around. A good storage system makes life so much easier. I am currently working through all the boxes in the workshop that have been sitting there since I moved house and I have discovered all sorts of good stuff.

    Thanks mate, it's good to see that nothing has changed with the way students make use of the finances provided

    Don't gamble, don't smoke, only drink moderately
    Bride smokes so my habit is a lot cheaper and easier to quit & I actually have something to show for it
    With an average of a $50 a week razor habit, I'm a third of the filth habit
    All arguments are lost and stop there LOL
