Re: [meteorite-list] The non collector
Fredric, Welcome to the active side (posting) of the list! I heard there are laws to protect innocent people from lurkers, well maybe not list lurkers, so never mind! : ) I guess I would have to get rid of my collection to make me a real non collector, so as long as I have one, I will always be. I have some meteorites that are sentimental that I will always have. I guess if I ever walk past a black rock with out taking a closer look, then I will know I no longer love meteorites! Again, welcome, one great big happy family here on the list, an occasional family squabble, but we all love each other in the end!

Re: [meteorite-list] The non collector THE NON COLLECTORS POLL
Hi List, I flit from hobby to hobby like a happy little bee, so it's hard to nail down where my money and time go. I'd have to say: MONEY 1. taxes 2. gas/food 3. meteorites & related things (mostly eBay) 4. savings/retirement 5. mining/geology books (mostly eBay) 6. charity (church, etc.) TIME 1. sleep 2. work (work at a family business is never done) 3. eBay/email (85% meteorites...) 4. family/friends/church 5. household projects 6. prospecting (meteorites/minerals) 7. various other hobbies/ideas etc. I probably spend too much time surfing eBay meteorites and related things, but I'm unmarried and don't have any of the traditional time/money obligations. But maybe if I cut back a bit I'd be married with kids... In fact, I have cut back quite a bit and try to spend more time focusing on "hands on" projects (mostly meteorite related) and prospecting for various things (primarily working on meteorites right now...). This is an interesting topic as I notice I should probably move some priorities around - maybe time for some New Year Resolutions... BUT I think meteorites will stay near the top of the list. I've been interested since I was a kid and first visited Meteor Crater, but I took the plunge a few years back and bought my first SA (a nice shrapnel and a nice oriented one). It's like gold fever - one bite from the bug and you have it for life... Clear skies to all and thanks for listening to my ramblings...

Stick around Tom! Just because you are not actively adding to your collection doesn't mean you have lost your love for meteorites. Spending money has nothing to do with the contribution one makes to the list or knowledge and enjoyment gained. I would much rather see this list populated by people who love meteorites and don't spend money than I would by people who spend money and trash other list members.

(In my best "Dr. Smith" voice) "Oh dear, OH DEAR!" You may need help Anita! Without eating and sleeping you can forget about doing much of anything! Tom, there are a lot of meteorites I'd like to get but can't as well, not all of us are well off enough to get everything we want. I certainly am not. You have your priorities straight, keep them that way. For me it's: 1) Eat 2) sleep 3) work 4) Dog 5) Aquarium Fish 6) Houseplants 7) Meteorites My hobbies can all be expensive (astronomy, ham radio for example) but they don't HAVE to be. If you try to "keep up with the Jones'" you will lose. You can never win. Happy new year to all! Tom Randall On Wed, 2004-12-29 at 10:35, Anita Westlake wrote: > Opps! "Hobbies are secondary..."?

yea, i'm kinda the same way. i still keep a few around to bust out and look at, but they are good ones. i don't buy that much any more either. and if i do buy one, i let another one go to absorb the shock. infact, i have been letting alot of dupes go just to streamline the collection (i still have some bonita springs, fl MACros available for $20 usd). every once in a while, a good local one comes along though that i just have to buy. i will be gradually switching over to yahoo mail (it has 100 FREE megs of storage). please cc to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >From: "Tom AKA James Knudson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >To: >Subject: [meteorite-list] The non collector >Date: Tue, 28 Dec 2004 20:54:04 -0700 > >Hello List, Even though I no longer am an active meteorite collector, it >does not mean I have to be off the list, away from all my friends!

Re: [meteorite-list] The non collector
Tom, I think if you took a poll of the list, you'd find that many of us have had to refrain from purchasing meteorites for our collections at times; very few people have the resources to buy all of the items they want for collections or hobbies. After all, hobbies are a secondary part of life that we can allocate money to after we take care of the necessities of raising children and paying our normal day to day expenses.

[meteorite-list] The non collector
Hello List, Even though I no longer am an active meteorite collector, it does not mean I have to be off the list, away from all my friends! I do not know what I was thinking, I guess I just think of the list as a part of meteorite collecting. I still love meteorites, I just don't collect them, for now. : ) Thanks, Tom "the non collector" peregrineflier <>< IMCA 6168 http://www.frontiernet.net/~peregrineflier/Peregrineflier.htm __ Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
