I tried Saturday to nab a fd monkey flyer but it sold-out in 30 seconds…. so I drew a black in my cart! Dam I wish I’d broken my pledge right then! See…… I can’t help myself???

Hi. My name is Steve. I really was just looking for the ā€œjust rightā€ one. And I have found a pretty good point of equilibrium right now. But the idea of only one…is not something I stand behind any longer. Up front I’ll say that; like anything, if the buying is causing you financial hardship and you still can’t stop…this could be an actual problem. But if you have the funds and you’re being responsible with your bills, then: everyone deserves to spend their hard earned money on something that brings them joy. And everyone has something they love that others may not understand. With that said, the problem with the idea of only one is this. You may start off with a few cheapies. We all have or have had them. You figure ā€œI’m not into this enough to need that kind of yo-yoā€¦ā€ but then you play that cheapie for a while and you think…surely there is better than this. That’s where it starts. From there you start delving into the world of affordable and pretty good yo-yos. This one is much nicer you say…but…if only…ooo this one looks like it will have the… And so on, and so on. Now if each one of these was a stinker, then it would be easy to cling to the idea of only one…but they are not stinkers. They are actually pretty darn good, just not exactly what your looking for. Along the way, some of those start to become like trusted friends as they accompany us on our journey seeking the one. As you gather a small entourage of these friends…you start to realize that, like people, each has its own personality. And again like people, you realize that, some you like to keep around. Maybe they even went away for a while and you realized it was a mistake to let them go, so you agonize over getting them back. Or maybe, like PokĆ©mon…you’ve gotta have them all. I’ve found a good support group of friends who keep me grounded. I still get attracted to new slim responsives but my itch for those has even been thoroughly scratched as of late. But there is one that has remained the one responsive for me since I got it early on. There are a few that inhabit the same realm of goodness but this one remains on top. The differences that make the others unique; however, also tug at me to keep them around. I feel as if I can honestly be happy with a group of friends in each flavor and be satisfied with this. But that is me, and I am not you. Other people view life differently, they think differently. This does not make them ā€œwrongā€, it just means they don’t see it like you. And I’m ok with people not seeing it my way. So I’ll list my friends and I’ll let you decide who is my favorite. :grin:

These have me feeling pretty satisfied and I honestly don’t look at much anymore…I know, I know…:scream_cat:
For real though…there are far worse things that a person could want to collect. And as a community…just know that we are here to support you. If you feel like you want to be friends with the new kid, but you’re feeling a little shy…we’ll be here to twist your arm. :alien:

I totally agree with this statement in particular, but your whole post put my exact feelings into words. Well said!

Hopefully you are particularly onboard with the arm twisting part…I feel like this is an important part of being supportive. :rofl::rofl:
