Wow I don't know how I can keep up with all these coops. I think i won't be looking at my bank account for awhile. ;D

I'm right there with you! I got my shipment of over 20 cases from yourbroadbandstore.com today. My wife is being very patient with me to say the least. It's amazing how stuff adds up. Things you'd never think of. Whatever you think it's gonna cost, double it and you'll still be over budget. I'm on a first name basis at the Lowe's. Sure is fun though ;D
-
Yup. I went over budget (for the year) a couple of months ago and more ideas just keep coming.
I know its hard, but, at some point you'll have to accept the notion that just because there is a co-op doesn't mean you must buy. Reality bites. :'(

I am more than happy and will be seeking out credit if need be. This site is flourishing while other places have good intentions, well thought out and military style enforced rules but honestly have nothing but CoOp drought.
2 cents. ;D

Glad to know I'm not alone in this. Every time I receive email with coop payment request notification, my wife gives me 'the look' and comments, 'More lights stuf??? I thought last buy was the last'.
She will be saying that for some more time...... ;D

That's hilarious. I've heard the exact same thing! They just don't understand ;)
-
I ain't. But then again, I am only out for my solder station, solder, some misc stuff, and time.
BTW, I am just free labor, building and testing his controllers and dongle. I also help with putting up his lights, but I don't have to deal with his other headaches.
;D

According to my wife, I started running out of money in early May......2007 ???

I got a lot more of that sort of response last year, but now she's at least semi-into-it after last year's show. :D
-
I just ask how many pairs of shoes she's bought this month and she stops bugging me.
Not really, she doesn't complain. It's sort of like Greg said, after I got it all turned on and working last year the whole family was like "What can we do next year!"

I finally added up all the stuff I "committed to" in coops and it wasn't a deal breaker, but I knew I was going to be in trouble with the CFO. Fortunately I had put money aside to go to Louisville for Plus 2009, but decided I could not afford it and am spending it on coops and going to the Carolina mini. I did not realize how much I had committed until I wrote it all down. LOL.

Yes but that's the ONLY way to do it!!! ;) ;D

I am way over budget. I get a dirty look from my wife every time I mention spending money on the light show.

We've adopted the "Don't ask, don't tell" policy around here. This wireless beta has me getting Mouser boxes all the time.

Ditto on the boxes for the wireless. I think that makes 9 boxes for me just for the wireless.

(The yelling hasn't started but I'm starting to get some very funny looks. Thankfully there has been some successfull blinky in the living room.)
