I'm Joe. I'm 35, and I live in Green Bay, WI with my wonderful wife and two sons, 6 and 3. I work at a college on staff, and I also teach one class each semester. I began running and working out, as the college has wonderful equipment/facilities for that. That keeps me busy and out of trouble for the most part.

Joes are my only vice, and I have tried my best to limit my spending. It is difficult when there are sales at various websites (or even when stores clearanced stuff off). "I'm buying these for my sons," I say at the checkout. (Yeah, right!!) Well, they do enjoy my hobby as well, and I have duplicate figures from various ill-advised eBay lot purchases that they enjoy. My older son just turns 6 this week, and has been begging to get into the Sigma 6 world. Of all people, my wife hooked him up with Paratrooper Duke. Who knew? She is slowly warming to my hobby, but nowhere near the point of holding planes and helicopters for aerial shots. There are some lucky fellas out there!!

Like Craig, there is a large amount of storage dedicated to her Beanie Babies as well, but she traded up that hobby for scrapbooking. By comparison, her monthly expenditures on scrapbooking dwarf my more selective Joe purchases... I don't mind spending money on hobbies. Each of ours brings joy in its own way. And that is a very good thing.

Like Craig, nice and simple. And I love my family!
