Shoes. I need shoes that really support my feet and usually get Birkenstocks.

Vacations. We take two -three cruises a year,and are leaving tomorrow for 2 and a half weeks in Europe. I'll take trips over stuff any day

High-tech kitchen and coffee gear.

Cameras. Two Nikons, lenses, flashes, tripods, battery packs, dashcams, bodycam, and two drones, neither one has left the ground.

Books. I have hundreds, many being scarce and not cheap.

If there is something I sort of, kind of, want to collect, I’ll buy two or more of the same thing and put at least one away.

I did at one point. The 69 project that I still have and a basket case 68.

Three if you want to count the 2007 that I had at the same time.

health care because my insurance sucks.

Examples?

Hot Wheels. So many Hot Wheels.

When I collected trading cards, I’d alwyas build at least two sets and use the leftovers as trade bait to get a third. If I bought sealed boxes, I’d get two and never open them.

Guitar picks. If I acquire an artist’s guitar pick at a show, I’ll hunt down another online and buy it. If I buy collectors picks at the merch table, I always get at least two. If they are tins, I reluctantly settle for one tin.

Almost any scenario where I’m getting some sort of souvenir or memorabilia, I’ll try to get two. It doesn’t always happen, but that’s always my urge....ermmm goal.
