These were the five famous words uttered by astronaut Jim Lovell during the 1970 Apollo 13 lunar-landing mission, but we probably know Tom Hanks’ rendition best from the 1995 movie. While shopping at Ralph’s this morning, these words crossed my mind. It had nothing to do with space shuttles or astronauts.
People have fetishes, obsessions, and compulsive impulses with material possessions such as fancy cars, expensive jewelry, and even guitars. Mine happens to be bagels in the discount rack and low carb protein bars on sale. Doesn’t matter if my freezer, refrigerator and part of my parents' is already full of these items. Just can’t seem to pass up the opportunity to purchase more. Guess I’m afraid my stash will be depleted and won’t be able to find any more on sale.
Yes, Debbie, you have a problem.

Is there a reason why you included guitars, an obvious necessity of life, in with your list of "fetishes, obsessions, and compulsive impulses"? I happen to have 9 guitars and not a one of them falls into the above categories!! :)
With the latest news of the psycho astronaut hitting all the headlines, Houston really does have a problem these days!
Great work.
