    I did think about salacious interpretations, but thought - nah, nobody here would do that...

    I recommend Fifty Shades of Grey for some light Christmas reading.

    Uh.... I started collecting watches so I had a different one for different occasions.
    Fly in the ointment is, when I found a watch I liked I never wanted to take it off. So I ended up with a collection of watches I never wore.

    The therapy's working ..... I'm now down to one to wear, and only two I don't.

    I don't collect them any more than I collect shirts or socks (of which I have more than watches).
