Worst things to spend money on

You payed way too much... :laugh:

My nephew married a girl from S Africa (a Zulu, I believe). His family was supposed to pay her family a cow. It, of course, doesn't work like that in the UK. Instead of paying cash up front, you pay on the "never-never". While on the subject of the African dowry, I suggested that as it's supposed to take a large quantity of cow to make demi glace, I suggested it might be easier to ship them a gallon or two. I then wondered if they'd know the difference between demi glace and Gravy Granules, so I suggested a case of that instead.

Oh well, they say opposite's attract. :confused: On that subject: Do you dust your mouse often?

Yep. You'd be amazed how much nasty stuff gets in there...but it's an "upside down" mouse - a trackball that you work with your thumb. So a lot of sweat and skin cells and general dirt gets taken in with the ball, and needs to be cleaned out regularly or the movement gets jerky. I dust my keyboard as well - before you ask - with a small soft paintbrush to get between the keys. If you don't, try an experiment. Get a sheet of A3, and shake your keyboard upside down over it.... :laugh:

I take it her lawyer was standing right behind you...

What's the worst thing you have ever spent a wad of cash on? January tax return is looming, that's pretty bad. That day Camden Council towed my car away wasn't good. Root canal fillings are well up there...

3 M&Ms, a slightly shrivelled peanut and, somewhat mysteriously a ham sandwich. I don't feel very well now, I think I should have left the sandwich. Was that Dr Zeuss book "Green Ham and Eggs"? X|

That's either a very big keyboard, or a very small sandwich! Or do you normally use it as a plate and forgot to eat your lunch? What happens when you have soup?

That explains what the goopy stuff was.

It got better today. And yes, I am being completely honest when I say I found it in a bin.

Ooooo! Nasty. There's no one as good at shafting a man as a lawyer: but you're supposed to pick one who's on your side, not hers! :laugh:

And your sig is clearly pro-penguin, so it's obviously anti-killer whale. As someone who quite likes killer whales, I'm offended! :laugh:

Now that is a clear case of 'reading-between-the-lines'...Where do you came to the conclusion that penguins are involved in my signature?

The vacuum cleaner with the attached brush (for gentle stuff) do miracles for me...

Exactly. Taxes. Absolutely the worst thing to have to spend money on. Funny thing is, I wouldn't actually mind paying taxes if I felt I had a say in how the money was used. Marc

I don't know how bad it is in the US, but here in the UK there's something called self-assessment where you have to try and work out how much you pay. Doing that is actually worse than handing the money over. Taxation here is very, very complicated. :(

Your health... If you need to spend on that you're probably not doing so well! And the worst thing about health is that it's priceless. And by that I mean expensive! Luckily I don't spend a whole lot on it :)

Wow, you got that one right! Also included in the list of unnecessary surgeries: sebaceous cyst removal. The pucker of that scar reminds me of why you roll the bills around a finger before you chuck them into the fireplace. Everytime.

A few thousand on a divorce mediator. Then my ex didn't like what he was saying would likely happen, we both then had to invest in lawyers, and she basically ended up getting what the mediator originally said. Quite a lot of $$ wasted. :sigh: Scott
Reminds me of my daughter; she gave her soon-to-be-ex a proposed divorce agreement, he got all pissy, ran off to the top divorce lawyer in town and in the end, after he spent well over $5000 and she $3000, they ended with her original proposed agreement! (I was pissed since I "loaned" her the money for the fiasco.) (By contrast, my divorce itself cost $1050; $700 for the divorce, $350 for the ridiculous paperwork and court order to split a 401k. My ex and I came up with our agreement in two hours and it took three weeks to file and get finalized. Best $1050 [and half my retirement] I ever spent.)
