The $300 coach purse I bought because my other purse had a teensy rip in the lining would be a great example of this Now with the e-cig I've learned it wasn't that I had to have a cigarette, I wanted the ritual. I wonder if my shopping is ritualistic too? Crap.

Seeing the smoke helps. a LOT.

The brain is a strange thing.
Sounds like you need to start eShopping in Second Life to take care of that ritual. $2 is expensive for a purse on Second Life, and once you get into it, it is more important for your avatar to have it then you. I actually met a couple of shopoholics in Second Life who say that the game saved them from financial ruin. One of them told me that their $5000 shopping binges had gone down to about $20 - $30. Gotta love technology!

That's quite funny. I wonder how many murders are prevented by a game of Hitman.

Everything is created by the players, so if they don't, someone could make one.
