Well over 200k pcs (I think my set listing which is no wheres near
complete, really only shows sets which are built or sorted, I think had
over 200k pcs, it's probably about half done).

Closing in on a year now.

None.

Almost none (definitely not enough). Though I have had spurts of
building sets, not enough MOC time.

some real nice parts lots on eBay lately, I'm almost to the point I
don't buy sets on eBay any more).

I'm unattached. I do spend several hours a week at church and other
social events.

(see http://www.mindspring.com/~ffilz/Lego/Lego.html for pictures of
most of my MOCs, all town/train right now).
