When you look online at HobbyLobby.com, and then at Michaels.com, to see if they still carry those perfect craft organizers to store miniatures in... and then you successfully find some, and you feel like you got an extra Christmas present from RAL PARTHA.

Thanks.

Trick question; you can NEVER play too much battletech!  ;D

When a signifigant other says ' I swear, I think that game is more important to you than I am.' and you respond, 'well it has been a part of my life a lot longer.' (true story) >:D

You don't yet have the miniatures for a combined-arms company, and you begin planning to expand it to a combined-arms battalion instead.

A friend sends you a link to an auction of a Dark horse VF-1 Fighter mini....and you seriously have to decide if eating or bidding on the
mini is more important...

When shopping for new furniture for storing your mini's you ask "could it hold a human body in terms of weight?" And the sales person says "No we don't recomend that" and your wondering if there is a reasonable way to reinforce the damn thing to hold all your mini's.

You have to push a shopping cart at Kroger over a speed bump to get to the cart corral, and while doing so, you think to yourself:

"I just spent some movement points to clear Level 1 terrain." ;D

When your 5-year-old gets into your paints and miniatures and repaints a few of them in some random color that you never would have used... and instead of getting really mad you think "hey that's a halfway decent paint job, considering...maybe I ought to paint up an entire squad like that and trial play them"
