ADMD diagnosis

[Don Boose]

I have approximately 1,000 models printed out or in hard copy. I have approximately 2,000 models stored on disk.

I accumulate approximately 300 models per year.

I built approximately 2.5 models a year.

I must not die before I build all the models.

Therefore, immortality.

I have considered trimming my pile down to 1000 models, but that does seem a bit draconian. I do wonder if eternity is enough time for one to build all of the printed kit and downloaded models 'in the pile'. Not sure, but I suspect this is one of the reasons my HD is far too full.

Indeed, immortality may be the answer. Is there someplace where one could apply for this immortality status?

Don;
With great respect, I offer a flaw in your rationale for immortality: Following your rationale, would it not be prudent to simply accumulate a large pile of models and simply not build any of them?

And if that avenue were followed, who would wish to live forever if life did not involve building any paper models?

I think that I will probably continue to accumulate models, which is, after all, easier than building them, though not nearly as satisfying. For me, the big problem is in deciding what to build next.

I would have a lot more time for building models if I didn't spend so much time in here...but then I wouldn't meet all you fine folks and learn so much neat stuff.

Unfortunately, ADMD is also digitally contagious. I have about...*counts*...15 model designs in various stages of work, and 7 gigs worth of 3-views and pictures of planes.

3-views and pictures don't count. So, you are clearly not an addict. If you have a lifetime subscription to the 'Card Model journal', we may have to address the issue. Oh, you only have 15 models under design? You must be slacking off...

*ggg* I'm currently in negotiations of lifetime doubling with the upper instances .... and that's only for the models I want to design for myself, not even mentioning the piles of cardmodels that accumulated during the years

Hi folks,

No, it is not an illness or addiction or insanty or something like this!

The disorder shown in the first post is the expression of ingeniousness.
Because only a genius rules over such a disordered workplace. Even better: that is only a disorder for normal mental talented persons, because they can't recognize the enlighten order scheme.

Let us be mercifull and treating them with respect, talents are unequally distributed...

Sincerely
peaceglue

At the time I wrote that, I was still driving a truck 11+ hours a day. Now that I'm not working, the list is doubled. And continues growing.

Ok, you are off the hook and are now officially qualified to be a registered addict. Be forewarned that if you are caught in a plastic model store that has no card models, you could lose it all!
