That's ok - I hope most of us have enough for the things we want. Some people look at price tags out of habit. 🙂

Yes, some do I haven't had to for many years and feel very grateful for that. Sometimes we take what we have for granted, good wake up call for me, thank you.

I hardly ever look at price tags either - quality counts. I buy fewer things instead.

And yes, we do need to be reminded now and then. 🙂

I check price stickers

Hey, you still have a 40 + year old golf clubs. You take me as a person who buys very carefully. How do you manage to find quality at second hand stores?

EDIT: By the way don't do away with those golf clubs antique dealers would be quite interested in them. 😉

My 20 year old golf bag (yes I did buy one after my original, that came with the clubs, died) kinda fell apart towards the end of this season but I managed to jury rig it to last the year. Well the other day I was in a second hand store and found an "almost" new one...I bought it and stuck my clubs in it yesterday.

The bag might not be worth much the original golf clubs could we worth something someday, they already may be worth something. To you I am sure there is sentimental value involved. Stick with the clubs!!! 😉

As with any sport that includes some form of apparatus it's never the apparatus that cause the person to win or lose. it's the individual using them, in the case of hockey usually the stick.

GBS,

You can have the finest stick in world but if you have no talent you will not last long in the NHL... The sticks of today have a spring to them that gives the player an advantage, which we didn't have back in our day. As a Goalie their gear is so much better than ours was. The players are bigger stronger, more skill, and stay in much better shape than we did.

Hell, beer was a for sure after the game and this was in high school. We even smoked cigs in between periods....We had a hell of a good time doing to it. We stuck to our beer and cigs back in those days. Now I wish I had not done either, and I am sticking to that story!!! 😉

some people are stuck in the good old days. cool.

Some of us have fond memories of the good old days, not really stuck there we do live in the present. 😉
