Is it time to just quit?

Time to just quit?                      
Buying audio stuff?                             
Posting to an empty house?                          
My gut feeling is no one is posting in the regular 'free' threads. Maybe they all are paying to post? I could not know, since I am way too cheap to pay to just post 'exclusive'.  Being natural paranoid, I think everyone is posting over there, not here?                                       
Then I also just hit my limit on credit card Paypal. Now I have to become "verified' or no Paypal.    
This also happened at a fortuitous moment, when I was starting to overspend...             
So no buying OR selling here for me (unless I am willing to get the Paypal CC. Which I have to think about)So maybe the Universe is telling me "Time to quit".???  
Not quit listening to music, just NOT buying more stuff and NOT posting more gibberish.

Sounds as if it might be time to take a break for a while.  You'll know when it's time to return.  Give your mind a rest and just enjoy what you've got until then.

Elizabeth I hope you can continue your presence here. I've enjoyed your posts. A thought. What's really exciting to do, at least for me, is find really good vintage equipment in the wild for almost no money at all at thrift stores. The challenge is to assemble amazing systems that approach your keeper one. There are endless combinations. You can give whole amazing systems away to people who want to get into the hobby or sell them for $200 or less to recapture your outlay. The excitement of the hunt and finding things in the wild can be a thrill. You'll also get amazing CDs or LPs on the process. Could be a cure for your ennui.

Some PS Audio Noise Harvesters arrived today (36 hours ordered from Music Direct , free shipping, to my door). I wrote a new thread about what I found.                  
Thanks to all offering a kind word.

@reubent Yes, it has been awhile. I lost touch with the folks who were sending out invites to the get together's. Never did get to play Widespread Panic on one of those high end systems. Wonder if the "Any Audiophiles in Cincinnati?" thread is still going?

Hope you and the family are well. If I recall correctly, you were adjusting your system because the kids were getting old enough to mess with it and you were afraid they might hurt themselves. What did you end up with? Are they old enough now to enjoy the listening?

The DaDa Cd is still one of my favorites. I will always be grateful that you played that for us.

I retired this year and gave up my longtime e-mail address. It's now stilljd@fuse.net.

Hope to see you again someday. Jim Still

@stilljim - Don't want to hijack Elizabeth's thread, so let's take it offline. We should get together for a listening session sometime. I've bought a few albums since we last met... ;~)
