For me, buying usually comes in big bursts a couple of times per year. Lucky bags in the winter. Summer slime in July. Dcon in November. With mostly just small purchases in between.
Just for the record, that is not and shouldn't be corny. I mean... Thank f god that marriage still means something to some. First read "or a joint trip" as trippin after smoking a joint. Took me a minute. English as third language still brings up unexpected amusement.
