"Indulgences"

[Sassy]

What are some things that you can live without (or spend less on) but don't? In other words...
you "splurge" on. Some of mine are fresh flowers, gourmet coffee, Bath & Body Works ~ especially "Fresh Vanilla and Magnolia" , Victoria's Secret stuff, books and BRONCO trips
Although...now that I've gone on a few....Bronco trips are now a lifetime necessity!
(for good mental health, of course! )

Oh yeah...I might have to add scrapbooking/craft stuff into that category! !
...and of my new favorite indulgences "Music By Hogan" with a good glass of wine and candlelight.

Those aren't indulgences, they are essentials. Carry On.

My way of thinking, Mock! !

Movies. I buy DVDs whenever I can and between my older VCR tapes and the new DVDs, my collection is getting fairly extensive.

I got trees and Wren houses and I swear, those birds sing like nothing on the planet. You have to make the opening tiny. They are super happy here and enjoy teasing the next door dogs and Beezlebub, who is a poor hunter anway, too lazy. They flitter around with no fear and you can sit and they will sing for you.

Good food. Whether I'm cooking it or we're eating out.

Fast cars. Performance sedans. My wife has always hated the amount of money I'll pay for a premium, top-notch sedan, but it's just too bad for her. I can't live in a life that is absent a performance sedan.

Books Books and more Books. When I was a kid we lived close to a Library and I went there all the time. But now I just buy them. The paperbacks get passed on through several people so that makes it slightly less guilt inducing.

I like going through junk stores, err... antique emporiums, and browsing through the book sections. I've found first editions - by Truman Capote, Grant Lewi, Pearl S. Buck and one of my current favs, Michael Connelly. It is fun to pay very little for what I consider a found treasure. I can pass on any type of shopping but a bookstore.

I think you have to approach things more intellectually.

A few:

Great tools. I am not very handy, but I am sort of obsessed with having cool tools. I don't know how to really use a lot of them. But I will learn someday. Oh yes, I will learn.

Gadgets. I like gadgets. I can spend all day in a Best Buy.

Books. I can't read a book from the library, or that someone offers to lend me. I will only read books that I own. I like to go and browse my book shelves, reminiscing about the books I have read. It drives my wife crazy, but I only read one, maybe two books a month. So it isn't like it's that big of a deal.

Sports Memorabilia. I only buy stuff that has some sort of personal meaning to me. I love looking at it. I work from home, and I love having it around me all day as I work. It's totally unnecessary, but it brings me joy.

I can do anything if I have the right tools. When they are lost or stolen or misplaced I go postal. Give me the right tools I can rebuild the WTC, give me a rock and I can beat things with it.

Amen! I picked up a signed first of "The Postman" (which was very badly hacked for that bad Costner film) for $6.00. When the guy selling it to me realized it was signed I could tell that he really didn't want to let it go. Fortunately, his parents taught him a thing or two about honor.

I'm seriously considering opening a used bookstore here in Broomfield. We're in serious need of a good one around here.

You should do it, Ben. When one of needs a new copy of Meck for the Defense or The Vance we'll know right where to go.



Seriously, if its your passion, you should go for it.

I splurge on my family , not to much myself , though I do have a PS2 in my rig , laptop with a get on anywhere internet card , but thats just about it .......
If I didnt have a family it would be Bronco gear and CB Radios

[DeusExManning]

Life is an indulgence.

[Popps]

High end pro audio gear, Apple computers and other assorted technologies.

Lucky for me, I can justify the ridiculous amounts of money I've spent on stuff... as it's how I feed my family.

Outside of that... my dog, working out, Trader Joe's, fantasy football, poker, and of course... way more Bronco-related items than any one person really needs.

Ever deal with the Folio Society?

I liked "The Postman". I can't understand why it gets ridiculed. It's a warrior film, what's not to like about it?

Read the book, you'll understand. After the first five minutes or so, the only thing the movie had in common with the book was a few of the character names. Couple that with a typically mediocre performance by Costner...

I guess golf and food. But I dont really splurge on anything I dont need. IF I want it, I usually need it.

[Pezman]

Camera gear, Guinness beer, Fry's Electronics (various cpu goodies), and more Guinness beer.
