Yes and no. My business is often dealing with the management
and staff in education and training...so I visit almost all the stores
in town. Years of chores has managed to keep my ardor under
check, about 'just one more, no, make that two..but..three...'

Nah. It's hard but after years I've managed to learn to keep my
wallet in my pocket. [Stitching the pocket shut afterwards helps <g>]

Doing a hamster delivery is how we ended up with our keeshond.
Hubby INSISTED on coming on the delivery, and went in the back
and browsed too long. :)
These days it's negotiated when we're going to go to the store,
what we're getting...and if he gets X bucks for fish or not. If
he does, he has to have the quarrantine tanks (one extra) ready
before we go. It works....
