Confessions of a Recovering Gear-aholic

@Lisa That is hilarious! Of course I can probably understand him better than most as I was born in TN.. I know what ya'll means and I lived around the holler while attending a one room schoolhouse. What parts is he from, Notice it isn't part! :

My husband is an Alabama boy who learned how to cook, clean and do anything except work electronics. He can't understand why his battery on the laptop is dead when he only uses it twice a year.

His family was from Clevenger, TN, which is east of Knoxville. None of his relatives live there anymore. Most moved "up north". Kept the accents, ability to hunt, and love of the out doors. His mother taught me to cook anything they shot and brought home.

I'm from Baxter which is near Cookville. Only have a few cousins left there but we go camping nearby and I fish where my grandfather took me fishing when I was a little girl. I'm not a talented cook like you.

This of course tells me two things:
1. You can cook (and possibly clean) a dizzying array of woodland creatures.
2. If necessary, your diet is not limited to what can be purchased at the local supermarket.

"at the risk of being sexist, Compulsive Upgrading Disorder is primarily a male related condition - yes?"

My husband would totally disagree with you on that. He can barely open his messages and I don't think he has ever sent one. I however, have enough gadgets to open my own store. I have at least 6 different earpieces, an iPad, iPhone, MacBook Pro, Kindle, Windows laptop, Windows PC, a couple dozen backup batteries, mifi and I could go on and on. I was even one of the lucky ones who got the Typo for iPhone before RIM's lawsuit against Ryan Seacrest was filed.

Hi GrannySue - what a MAN you are! ;D My wife is quite tech savvy and was on a committee w/ a local branch of a national group - the leader (a male) refused to do email - his wife had to read and respond to the messages sent to him by my spouse - quite irritating - SO, I think that his so-called 'affliction' is unrelated to the sexes (although males seem to be more affected, IMHO) - Dave

No I am not limited. I do not have to clean any game because my husband or sons will, but I can cook it. (I can clean it but, hey, if they want to that is fine by me!)

LOL, it's pretty tough catching and cleaning those gators and then get them in the cooking pot. Only those certain Cajun fellows who shall remain un-named know how to that!

I have that affliction as well, but it isn't just limited to gadgets. I've been known on several occasions to get some fancy new make-up (I have a particular weakness for eye-liner) just because I saw it in a magazine that very afternoon.
