Hello every one. I have been reading this forum for about 2 years and it has been very informative, sometimes funny. I would like to know what the abbreviation GAS means. It is used in reference here frequently. Thanks to all. Bob

Thanks for the responses.
Sometimes the side bars are quite humorous. Always appreciate a different point of view.

Usually in the context of guilt or perceived resistance from one or more significant others who do not share the same desire.

My significant other lets me be as long as when I buy NEW stuff, I need to sell some OLD stuff. Works for us.
