I was recently told “Do I need to worry about you???”  By my significant other.  I mean I did turn an entire room into a steam room… but jokes aside, I think it’s perfectly healthy hobby.

Did they then turn to straighten up their Beanie Baby's collection?
I've had people look at mine steamers and shake their head and ask "Why"?  I say why not.
Then I point at one and give them a run down on it. Age, where it was made, you know a little
history lesson. They always get poker chip eyes when I point at one from 1895. They just need
an education and a demo and then they're more understanding. Plus it beats the hell out of BBs.
Unless you're using them for skeet.
