Throwing $$ at it
 

What is it that you spend $$ on that ALWAYS is a complete waste?

I am constantly spending $$ on shit to use to deal with my Medusa snakes. Hair clips, scrunchies, bands, barrettes, shit you name it I end up with it stuck in a drawer cause it's either broke or useless.

Is there anything you do that is similar?

pots and pans....kitchen utensils. i see something that i think is neat and buy it, never to use it again.
i have about three pans that i love and use almost daily (and about 20 in the cupboard) and four or five knives (out of 15 or so) that i use for everything...even frenching beans. i bought a frencher once and used it exactly once and now it just sits it the drawer.
one niffty utensil i did buy that i don't regret is a whisk that, instead of being made of looped pieces of steel, it's made of sturdy, different lenghts of straight pieces with little balls on the end of each. makes the best damn scrambled eggs.

lotions and soaps... I buy them all the time and then don't end up using them... I've finally learned to just stay out of B&BW because I can't walk in there without walking out with a bagful of stuff that I will just not use. I get bored with the scents and switch to something new without emptying the bottle.

Huh, do husband and kid count? :D

I also have many, many shades of lipstick and wear the same one everyday.

I was a caterer. I had a 6'x 10' pantry built to house alllll my gadgets :o

<~~~~~~~ was an AVON PIMP!

It has been almost 2 years since I left the cult and I still have so much crap cause I just couldn't resist all the smells and colors.

earrings....and I never wear half of them

i'm not big on buying anything i don't use. but it seems i can through money at a computer and still not be statisfied. i use to buy dvds alot but have since lost interest in movies. fortunately ebay was good at helping me get rid of those.

hammers...I think I have a dozen!

I love tools, calendar/organizers & pens. Notepads & journal books too.

i had no idea...did i? i don't think so. either way, that is waaaaaaaaay cool. i've thought about it....or being one of those personal chefs that are all the rage right now, or selling my deserts to locals restaurants. what was the largest thing you ever catered? why did you stop? what was your specialty?

Don't faint. I was primarily a church caterer. Did events and dinners, so as to not have to deal with licensing and inspections we cooked in the church kitchens. If it comes from your home then legally your home must pass inspection and that includes no pets. So we confined ourselves to wednesday night suppers for usually 50 and dinners, weddings, luncheons etc for up to 150.

i used to post about heading out to poison old peole...that meant wednesday night church suppers :p

too late:faint:
i ran out of breath asking all those questions in a row :p

/me sneaks a peek at wyndhy while she's passed out. :hot:

/me pretends to still be passed out on the floor ;)

/me takes your temperature...to make sure you didn't pass out from a fever or somethin'

well.
that was anti-climactic :p :D
:x:

I'm bringing my own thermometer.

And I insert it using the "no-hands" method. :hot:

phew! i thought i'd lost my touch *giggle*
;)

I'm sure you were very worried!


EEEEEEEEEK!!!!! We're hijackers! :eek:


Quick, throw some money at me! :D

/me stuffs some cash in wi's pants

Tools - Never have enough and hardly ever use the one's I already have!

I have a 30ft x 30ft toolbox I'm trying my best to fill! WI your way behind I counted 32 hammers from 6oz claw hammer to a 16lb cross pien

I have a fetish for buying nice bottles of wine....then I appear to collect them and end up drinking the $1.99 bottles I buy at Trader Joe's. :( I have nice wines from 1995 that I still haven't drunk!

I seem to spend money on my second vehicle... I know that most of the stuff that I fix on it does not need to be fixed, it's a beater for goodness sake... but I still put money into it (and try to do the work myself).. which also means that I needed to go buy all new tools as for some reason it is all metric (but a Ford). Other than that I love electronic widgets...

Guitars, I have 7 and am constantly looking at more on EBay.... it's an illness I think! :hair:

Is that a roll of quarters in my pocket? ;)

nope...you're just happy to see me :rofl:
