    Collecting stamps might lead you to drink......lol
    or drinking could lead you to stamp collecting?? lol :D

    Judging the types that do frequent Society meetings one can only wonder who got the better of the two evils !?:cool:

    Nonetheless, a beer and talking stamps somehow instils direction in moderation, afterall some can learn - not to drink too much :D

    Lucky you for having the spare cash :) I am now more in control of my "stamp addiction". You're right, no use in starving myself if I won't have the energy to continue my collection LOL

    I've had a few close calls, but no real paper cuts yet! The benefits definitely outweigh the risks when it comes to stamp collecting. ;)

    What close call ?

    You either cut yourself or you don't !:confused:
    What benefits - who benefits with what risks or what risks benefits whom ?

    You probably hardly noticed the bad tasting gum you licked sending a letter benefiting another collector. Were you to lick thousands you'd probably die of poisoning.:eek:

    Enjoy the dangerous self-adhesives - wear leather gloves but do not collect stamps.:D

    I honestly cant say I've had any close calls with stamp collecting. I over spend all the time but who doesn't? lol

    Did you ever drop a stamp in your drink? That'll make your day huh? :eek:

    Very absobant stamps could be used to suck up illegal disolved drugs and then wash out again.;)
    A bit of a process to regain the drug but obviously worth the dosh.:rolleyes:
    No need to try these days, the paper is far too hard and too thin.:oops:

    Actually yes, Ive cut myself once, but it wasn't that bad. There's no way I'd consider it as being unhealthy just because of that though.

    I wish that I could control my addiction to stamp collecting. Sometimes I think it;s more addictive that some drugs.

    Is this entire conversation tongue in cheek?
    Stamp collecting is not dangerous. Is it?!!
  14. Jay Well-Known Member

    mmmmm....could be. :p
  15. Tom D Active Member

    OK it is official,

    Stamps are not a danger to oneself.

    If I was working on my stamps I would not have cut my finger on my wife's Honey do's.

    So there it is a final, and the statement is Stamps are good for your health.
