I’m surprised she didn’t tell you about it. My wife hasn’t shut up about it since her first C-section.
Let me ax my wife how to help you out, Higgs. I’ll report back tomorrow.
I have a plan, but you’ll need a good totem or you’ll run the risk of getting stuck in Limbo.
A 50 year old woman asks her child who is in her 20s for a 5k watch. WTF am I reading? Your mom should be ashamed of herself growing up in the USSR and waiting in breadlines.
i can’t help you there except to advise you to tread lightly my friend. it was my wife’s idea, i never mentioned it. but i have been sending subliminal messages about new cans and she all of a sudden started mentioning them as a package deal with the tuck, so we’ll see where that goes.
OPRAH VOICE: BABY TUCKS FOR EVERYONE!
I sometimes wonder if I’m actually in Limbo right now, or perhaps the Matrix.
What’s wrong with a 5K watch?
it is not THAT much, honestly, for a watch. not to say some watches are investment pieces.
and she’s giving her mom out of her free will i think, she’s not forcing her to do it, and she wouldn’t accept it if she can’t afford it, obviously.
Of course she didn’t request it and I could afford it:) Wouldn’t anyone do it for their mom?
But right now she wishes I put it toward 401K
You obviously never dated a Russian.
Ukrainian but not Russian. Way too many cultural issues. It pretty much ended when I was served a salad with chopped up pickles and mayo as the dressing. I wouldn’t even try it and she got pissed. I’ve met a lot of Russians out here and would never go long, they seem like short term trades (I’m sure Tikka would concur).
Regardless I think the women in this thread should get back in the kitchen where they belong and stop posting. Neither of them seem to have any financial acumen or common sense.
My Z4, best investment ever, quality of life increased by 500%. Just got back from Corsica where I took my baby to enjoy those winding coast roads. Can’t stop smiling since.
My 350Z. It was an impulse buy, but similar to what others have said, one of the happiest choices I’ve made. Commutes were more enjoyable and it’s not expensive enough for me to worry about when I made routine trips with it (i.e. grocery shopping). The compliments every once in a while made me know it was making a difference beyond the joy of driving.
Being in HK now, I’m quite sad that I can’t practically own a car at all.
fantastic cars! My first car was a 300zx twin turbo. The whole Z series (fairlady) is a dream to drive.
OK, Higgs. Here’s what my wife said.
Just go home and mention to her that you heard about it. Say you heard about it on AF, say you heard it on the radio, say you heard to female co-workers talking about it, whatever. Just mention it. And ask her, “Did you know that this kind of stuff existed?” Then you’ve opened the door where she knows about it, and she can look into it if she wants, or she can just blow it off if she wants.
This way, you haven’t come out and said, “Honey, you’ve gotten fat since we had two kids. Let’s put you under the knife so I’m physcially attracted to you again instead of being embarrased to be seen with you in public.” (That may not be what you said, but that’s what she’ll hear.) But now she’s aware of it and can look into it and will definitely tell you if that’s what she wants.
i’d love to hear the play by play if you try this.
Maybe I’ll just bring up the idea of me getting lipo since I can afford to lose a few pounds and see where that leads.
^I’d love to hear the play-by-play if you try that.
Noooo… Liposuction is very dangerous and the result isn’t very good.
Many people get it done and regret it because of the scarring it leaves on your skin. Many people get these cellulite looking dimples afterward.
