This thread got me thinking. I know I've spent more on hubby's 2 very nice grills than I ever have on all my sewing machines combined (45ish currently and maybe more.) I buy vintage machines. Have only bought 2 brand new ones for about $500 combined and don't have either anymore. I know we've spent more on DH's 2 grills. However, DH is a keeper and doesn't mind my obsession/addiction (much); he would just like me to practice catch and release instead of catch and keep.
