Have you made a costly purchase (over $250) recently?

Our lawn mower engine seized up yesterday, making it a piece of scrap metal. I went and purchased another. $400.

    Not unless you count the dental implant that cost me $2300.

    I don't usually consider dental implants a purchase - just something that needed to be done, like replacing leaky roof tiles.

       (((((Shhhhh! What are you trying to do, bring the IRS and the SEC down on me? I have enough of a problem running two sets of books and hiding the transfers of money in offshore accounts! Don’t ruin it for me by shining a flashlight on a backroom operation! Shhhhh!)))))

    I spent $5500 and change for a fridge, dishwasher, microwave, and gas range for our new kitchen. This post was edited by Stu Spelling Bee at May 31, 2021 8:07 PM MDT

      What am I, chopped chicken liver? It would kill you to ask if I needed one too, I suppose. Oy vey.

    I checked with Mom and she assured me that you couldn't be my brother. Buy your own phone.

      Instead of any direct familial connection, I was counting more on the burning lusty desire and maddening sensual attraction that you have for me to compel you to present me with a present. I’m getting a little tired of you only thinking of me as a piece of meat who does your bidding in the bedroom. Hold on, what am I saying? I’m not sick of that at all!

      IKR? If someone inadvertently submits a duplicate post, or if the website glitches and causes a duplicate post, the author can merely delete it.

    Hello:

    I use this site to doctor up my posts for another site.  Is that stealing?  Sometimes, I forget where I am and press the submit button..  So, when you see dupe, just know that I'm thinking about you.
