in Chit-Chat
No earth shattering post here- just a little fun/ mindless chatter for friday afternoon. Thought i would throw this out to the peeps.

So i had a bday this week and my parents gave me some $$ (yes as a grown adult i still recieve presents- - so what -- everyone luvs presents!) to buy myself something. To frame this scenerio correctly i need to tell you it's $200.

i dont want to buy anything practical- but i also dont want to just waste it.i cant give it away and they will ask me what i got.

I have narrowed it down to a pair of golf shoes (need darker colored ones for muddy/rainy rounds) or casual runners (wear to the gym or maybe van type to just cruise in). I dont really need either except i want to indulge myself and afterall-my parents mandate to me was to go buy myself something I wanted. I could use either of these.

I realize the above is shallow and self-centerred -- agreed -- but it is what it is - dont judge! . :happy:

Just curious -- if someone gave you $200 and said you had to buy something for yourself, you couldnt give it away or buy something for someone else -- but also get something you want however it may not be super-practical.....what would that item be?

Have a great weekend!
cheers

    ...massage....

    ...Not practical at all since I would have nothing to show for the money spent after except a smile...

    ...I can almost feel the warm oil already....

    (I can't wait to hear which shoes you picked!)

    I'd buy starter stuff for climbing.

    A pair of shoes, chalk and a chalk bag.

    I would probably buy a laser range finder, assuming that you don't already have one.

    I'd buy a gun! I want a little pink 380 :) Might be more than $200 though.

    Hmmm, too much choice here! A new watch, a proper pen, some bits for my camera, clothes or some new glasses...... Probably a new watch me thinks!
