Ken my eyes were bad. I couldnt watch TV without contacts put it that way. I could see clear maybe up to 2 feet.

I had it done by Dr. Rahmani here in Michigan 7 years ago for $750 an eye.

I can't stop buying dumb sh!t on Ebay. I am bidding on some dumb sh!t right now as I type. I can't stop! Ebay is like crack for a shopoholic...

Where at in MI, cordoncordon? I used to live there.

$10K Hot Tub. Yes, you read that right, a ten thousand dollar hot tub. I love it, it's great. Mrs. Tomassi loves it too. We live in Florida. It's hot here. All the time. We sit in it maybe 3 times a month. Everytime I do, everytime I clean it, all I see is the $10K pricetag.

I was pretty amazed when I first moved to South Florida that literarly, EVERY house has either a pool or a Jacuzzi in their back yard and one of thoose wire cover gate thingys. never got used to that.
 

Just because a woman listens to you and acts interested in what you say doesn't mean she really is. She might just be acting polite, while silently wishing that the date would hurry up and end, or that you would go away... and never come back.

Ken you ever try retin-a? It took 2 years but I got an extra strong concentration from my family doc and it got rid of my ice pick scars, raised, enlarged pores, etc. I have amazing skin now.

As for bought... does anybody snowboard? Those Chalets are ridiculous! Especially at tremblant/whistler/killington I was so hungry I bought a "Whole fresh fruit" (apple) for 3$ back in high school.

I'm from Canada so it's like $4 a tube and I got it from my family doctor (he wrote me a prescription). Apparently it's used for wrinkles and stuff but it promotes collagen or something to that effect thus healing scars. Good to not be insecure anymore, girls definitely like a little scarring, even on the face. Not promising anything but my doc had said I had moderate scarring before and I have nice skin now. I have to admit though, I used a lot more than I was supposed to. lol.

Recently it was buying a PS3. I bought it when the price dropped but I never play the damn thing. I haven't even played a PS3 game on it yet, not counting the demos.

A few years ago I spent 2k on a Real Social Dynamics workshop. I was too WBAFC to get any use out of it. But it did help me get over the fear of talking to strangers...

My biggest stupid purchase was a 2001 Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder (convertible) that I bought back in 04 from a shady used car dealership for 14k. It's a beautiful car but two years later; I had to replace the catalytic converter, the AC gave out (still haven't fixed it) It came with only one windshield wiper and I scratched the windshield buy testing the wipers on the test drive then the guy told me it was missing a wiper :rolleyes: It had only one key and no remotes and the tires were smaller than standard. I was over-excited and wanted to dump my old 88 Accord. I still have the Eclipse and it only has 55k miles on it.

i've bought several pairs of crappy shoes because they were on sale. you know you fukd up when you have to tell people they were on sale, or else theyre like 'whyd you buy that ugly sh!t?'

i have a massive wardrobe, that hasnt moved from the hanger in years. some of them ive never even tried on outside the store. out of all the cool, stylish, clubbing clothes ive bought, my trademarked outfit is a jizz-stained, sweaty and faded black tracksuit. in 1 year i probably spent nearly 1k on fancy clothes, none of which was put to use, aside from socks and underwear.

i have a library full of books i bought on a whim, because the information COULD CHANGE MY LIFE. when it arrived 1 week later i just threw it in the pile. i use to have an obsession with psychology, philosophy, nlp, all that crap. by the time i came to my senses, i was about 500$ poorer. im going to be selling them soon at <25% the cost, brand new. the 2nd worst book i ever bought was The Game, it was 30$ for a collection of lies and false hope. the worst book i bought was about mental magic, it cost 30$. in my retarded state, i thought learning magic tricks could get me a girlfriend.

backbreaker, don't be hard on yourself, the attractive saleswoman trick has been around forever. jewelry stores are full of models who know notihng about jewelry, TV is full of hot sports anchors who know nothing about sports. the only way to counter it is to simply not enter the store, but if you MUST, consider jerking off before you go. your mind will be crystal clear.

When in Germany touring the BMW factory(cleanest car factory I have ever seen- everybody wears white lab coats, the floors are spotless, and workers get to drink beer on their lunch break!).....I was approached by a gorgeous female saleswoman, right after the 2-hour tour. I told her I would buy a BMW M3.....if she went out to dinner with me. To make a long story short- I saved almost $3500US just by purchasing it factory-direct, I got to bed her, the first night out, and my airfare to Germany was paid for by BMW, AG.....just for buying a car in their European purchase program. When the car arrived in the US- it had nothing but problems, I finally traded it for a new Porsche 911, after four months.
