That doesn't answer the question. Why is it "nice" to carry a knife? I don't understand.

i don't understand what the big deal is. it's a knife. sometimes one needs to cut things. i know i have. and during these times, i have found that it's almost always better to have a knife than not. bonus if it weighs almost nothing.

He can peel oranges and avocados while he's waiting on the rest of us to catch up.

Got this from my daughter...with a little help from me.



This thing is so soft it's amazing. I got myself a couple of things, but they're all woodworking tools.

Oh, I know. I logged onto Coach.com and $500 is nothing. I should call my aunt and tell her to send me another $700 for just the right purse.

Well...just the head shot taken after the Slacker Century, Photoshop can be quite handy. That robe is so soft you can hardly feel it on...like running around naked, except you're not.

My mom got me a pair of cushy socks. I stuck them in my sock drawer. She asked me what I was going to get and I was all **********??. Looked at the socks again and there was a Discover gift card inside.

So, the question now is..... does Sacha get 404's? Or 303's?

Why don't you go purse shopping with me? We'll spend your $$ on my purse and I can then use my $$ on Patsy.

I got a Coach purse for Xmas. I was plannning on "regifting" it because I'm not a Coach girl (Prada or Longchamp is more my thang). You can have it and then we can go get Sacha a new crankset or something.

That just might work! Only, you don't have to give it to me...unless you want me to trade something for it.

Can't a Coach bag be modified to be an under-the-saddle bag? Might look good on a Brooks.

Why don't you go shopping, take a picture with a really nice purse for your aunt, then go get something nice for Patsy.

Because that's lying. Also, when I visit home, she will want to see my bag. You men just don't understand us southern women, do ya? And you'd think, Ron, with you being there and all, you'd get it.

343's, best of both worlds 303 in front, and 404 in the rear

iPhone. Hope I don't have a repeat of what I did to my Nokia 6820. I whipped it while rolling 25 mph, and watched it shatter as it hit the asphalt. Oops.

I was really thinking that she just wanted you to 'enjoy' the shopping experience. Cause you know, that's what women do. As I understand it, shopping doesn't have to include buying (foreign to me, but that's how it's been explained to me in the past). So, I was merely trying to come up with a compromise where you'd get to do the 'shopping' thing to appease the aunt.

If it's really just a matter of having a bag. Here's a coach bag for $85. Get that and let's go drinking with the rest

Why were you whipping your phone in the first place?

How will you ever get your new Madone with such undisciplined spending? Didn't anyone ever teach you about a "new bike fund" that one pays into with regularity?
