If I had the CASH I have spent on purses I would be able to buy a
Ferrari. But men are clueless. You can come into the house with a
purse, carry it around, leave it right in front of his face, throw it
at him, whatever... and he will never realize that it could have
possibly cost 900 dollars. A man can't fathom this whole designer
accessory thing. What man can understand a woman's need for something
like a Dior or Gucci or Chanel? What man knows about Jimmy Choo shoes
or Manolo's? Women can spend money on extravagant things and the man
in her life will never know the difference. But when a man spends
money, its usually for something that is HUGE...like the Ferrari, a
Harley, or a new extravagant bicycle to go with his other extravagant
bicycle. Or he will come home with a giant purebred dog to be his best
friend.
One post was right, if you want to bring home an expensive bike and
stay in good with the wife....stop at the local jewerly store and look
in the section marked BRIGHT SHINY THINGS. ;-) It will save you some
grief.
All Good things,
Maggie
