    You should get your kids into boating... then they will never have enough money to afford drugs. :D:p

    Boat is an acronym for "Better Organise Another Thousand"

    I don't collect anything physical but I do collect digital copies of old video games, I pretty much have a playable museum on a HDD with all info and artwork for every game on every well known system from the 70's until fairly recent.

    I call it collecting because I don't actually play on any of it much, I prefer spending my time finding all the information pertaining to the games and uploading that to a site that can be used by others to quickly identify their game files and give them the same information and artwork.

    I know, super geeky right? ;).

    Antique prints. There are 59 items hanging on the wall, valued from not much to quite a bit. There are another 200 or so in sundry locations. The numbers fall apart as one item may have more than one when split individually. For example, a set of 17 books is one item. One items is a set of 15 antique pictures. The Picturesque Atlas of Australia is one item with 28 editions and each edition has 5-10 prints. I do not know how many I have. Every day I see these things of beauty, very nice. The history of these items is engrossing, plans that never happened portrayed as reality, like the tower on the Victorian Houses of Parliament. The gold boom bust. I have a map of the proposed canal from Port Melbourne to the Yarra River near the CBD.

    No matter how much cleaning I do, I've still got a large assortment of cat hairs. It's never ending.
