Wow, this is SOME thread!! I don't have time to read all of it right now, but feel I must put my two cents in. First, let me say, he has no "hobbies" but loves the casino. So, when I go on a fabric spree, I come home and tell him that I have been to the fabric casino. He's fine with it. Although he does raise his eyebrow occasionally when he sees "the stash." We're both still trying to get adjusted to TWO retirees in the house, so there haven't been as many trips to the casino and to the fabric store.
