<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 739615, member: 66"]How many hobbies don't take your time and money? And with most any hobby you are going to be viewed as "odd" by those who do not feel the same desire, and we feel the same way about other peoples interests. I know people whose burning desire is to play golf. Pay high fees to wander around outdoors and try to hit a one inch ball with a three foot club, into a three inch hole, three hundred yards away? And only hit the ball three times. OK, yeah right. And you pay how much money to do this? (And they actually TELEVISE people doing this! And other people WATCH IT!) <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>As for the pets not being able to join in, I had a cat that collected coins. She preferred large cents and colonials. When I would get back from a show and put my newps on the desk she would jump up and examine them. Those she didn't want she would knock off onto the floor and if I didn't keep and eye one her she would pick up and carry off the large cents and colonials. Sometime I wasn't attentive enough and she did get away with them. I never did know where she kept them, but usually a couple weeks later I'd spot her trotting across the room carrying one of them and I'd go get it back from her. She didn't like Lincoln cents at all though. Lincolns she would pick up, take to the kitchen and bury in the houseplants. Other coins she just ignored.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
