He knows that the amount I've spent on cels is 
NOT small. I don't lie to him about what I spend, 
I simply don't tell him and he doesn't ask. In 
exchange, I don't ask him what he's spent on his 
bookcases full of Transformer toys and he doesn't 
tell me. It amuses us, and we're both of the 
similar blood in that respect.

The point is, I take care of the things I have 
been asked to take care of (like a loan from my 
parents for the downpayment on our house) and 
whatever else I do is my own business. It might 
be different if I made more money, but at this 
point, just the yearly bonus he got last April 
was about 3/4 the amount of my YEARLY SALARY. 
That's BEFORE taxes, not after.

Now do you understand why this intentional lack 
of communication (which we BOTH know is there) 
doesn't bother us? ^_^

Frankly, if I knew I would keel and my collection 
would be disbanded tomorrow, knowing that the 
money would be recouped would be much less 
important to me than knowing that the cels would 
move on to other people who are amused with them, 
as I was. If given my own choice, most of the 
best and most valuable cels in my collection 
would probably be given to friends I knew wanted 
them, as opposed to sold.
