You know you're addicted to ponies when...

[DaffyDilly]

... you deliberately outbid people on a duplicate of a pony you already own - this wasn't an accidental purchase. And it's a Mountain Boy. 

How do you know you are addicted to ponies?

When I wake up at 4.30am and instead of trying to go back to sleep, I'm looking on here and eBay to see if there's any ponies I can buy

[Dragonflitter]

Haha! I love this thread!

I know I'm addicted to ponies when...

It's hard to resist the urge to buy more packs of MLP Trading Cards when I see them in the store even though I have the complete set.

When you add a random small town to your family's road trip because you checked their local listings and someone is selling G1s.  I only did that once, but it was totally worth it!

"We're stopping here for lunch."
"Why?"
"It looks like a nice place (no restaurants in sight)...Oh look, ponies!"

[Desert Rose]

I know I'm addicted to ponies when:

1. I have a huge room dedicated to them and while setting them up I still don't fit them all.... And then I log straight on here and Ebay to see if I can find ponies to complete my sets >.<

2. When I look at my budget, tell myself I can not afford to buy more ponies this month and that I just have to wait untill next month. Then I see this one pony I just can't resist, and then another, and then another... and then I tell myself I'll survive on potnoodles the rest of the month cuz' I just HAVE to have those ponies.

ROFL I'VE DONE THAT TOO!

...when you keep muttering to yourself "I'm a Ponie!"  randomly. (yes no kidding, and yes meant to misspell it that way:P.)

[Sugar]

... when your "want list" keeps growing and growing, even though you tell yourself you're not a "gotta catch 'em all" collector.

... when your workstation features as many ponies and pony-related items as pictures of your son (okay, I'm still two ponies short of son photos, but it's getting close...).

... when they know you on a first-name basis at your local thrift shop and tell you when they've got promising lots of toys coming up from storage.

Ok, the last one might be me - the stock person at my local Savers told me this week that he saves all of the ponies for me (but he doesn't know my name.).

 I do that all the time!

[invaderhorizongreen]

when you tell your ponies good night, and have conversations with them.

[hathorcat]

When you set your alarm for 2am, then 4am and then 5am despite having to be at the office for 9am that morning - why? because there are pony auctions ending...no doubt all for duplicate accessory items which I already have!

When you get all excited when your parents have to go to target or wall mart (Only 14, no license!) so you can look for ponies.

[Lorelei Redfern]

when you stoop  at every  thrift store and wallgrins and  flea market yard sale and dig thoruhg all the toy bins to look for ponys!
get your mother to help you dig.
volunteer to help work in a toy room at a local thrift store  just to find more ponys
find out when your local fmaily dollar gets there toy shipment so you can go check for ponys.
