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.

@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... ;~)
Hey Elizabeth. Ive been in a similar situation before. When I was low on funds I would reposition my speakers or change the acoustics of the room or move my listening chair closer or farther. Or try cheap tweaks. When I get in a funk I realize I'm critiquing my stereo and trying to be a perfectionist and not listening to the music. When I was 10 I remember the joy music gave me on my first stereo. A $5 AM transistor radio. Now I have built a stereo over the last 46 years that's 10,000 times the cost. Since being out of work from surgery for 5 months I listened to tons of music. So much that I'm a little tired. I just started back to work this week. Maybe its a time to unplug from all music for a week from any sources and start a little fresh with music you haven't heard in a while. I'm also well aware of my moods and when I lose interest in music thats the first sign I'm depressed. For me with the stress of the holidays and with the possibility of SAD it can be a downer. However I always feel great each autumn for about a month and music is beautiful!! Not trying to be nosy in your personal affairs. Your love of music will come back
