I just bought a stand up paddleboard, not sure what the fuck
I am going to do with this thing when its snowing out.

what was your last stupid purchase.
 
Tully, I tried paddle boarding for the first time about 2 months ago. It's pretty rad.

I looked like an idiot for the first 20 min or so but then I started to feel it.

It's actually a nice core workout disguised as fun.


FUN. Seriously.
 
Did you see that paddleboard guy on Shark Tank recently? Looks fun. It is supposed to be a great workout.

Last impulse buy was a Bluetooth device that I have never used....had to be about 6 or 7 months ago. Not as expensive as your paddleboard (probably $70) but still a waste.
 
We see paddleboarders out on the lake and river all the time around here. It's definitely a thing. Not this time of year though.



As for me . . . hmmm . . . I guess my barbecue. Last summer. Had vague plans to upgrade my situation but the actual purchase was just like, hey there's one right in my face RIGHT NOW ----> yoink.

Didn't think it through at all. It wouldn't even fit in my trunk and I had to take it apart piece by piece in the parking lot.

Very happy with it though.

what sort of bluetooth device?

I don't know...some sort of thing you put in ur ear I guess...it's small...has a plastic thing around it...I dk. Motospeak something. I think it was going to help me send text messages via the earpiece or something. I haven't really looked at it.
 
Just got my $757 meds. That really wasn't an impulse buy other than they will help me to control my impulses. So I've got that going for me.

If you don't mind me asking, what kind of meds do you take to control your impulses and can you describe these sorts of impulses? I'm really curious.
 
Pair of plaid pajama pants. Fucking love them.
 
These Crest white strips that I have on now are some what of an impulse buy. They are annoying me after less than an hour though. You are supposed to wear them for an hour. Argh.
 
I bought a blow up doll on impulse. Waste of time. Not the same as a real chick. Won't recommend it to anyone.
 
Previous model-year motorcycle helmets tend to be heavily discounted.

I'm up to 4 helmets.

:hides:
 
Picking up my glasses and contacts today..had to be adjusted...they had these cool looking polarized sunglasses that go on over your regular glasses..not clip ons or anything...and they were blue. $50. I have like 10 pairs of sunglasses already. Sigh.
 
Went to the mall for pedicure and maybe a pair of sandals. Returned with pedi but no sandals and $450 worth of trip wear that I didn't need.

They really need that deal where you can self ban yourself from the mall like you can a casino. This is why I very very rarely go to the mall. I need help.
 
IAG what will happen if you go to the mall with just $100 cash only?

I wouldn't. It it would be kind of like not going to a casino if I only had $100 to spend. I would have been fine actually, but I couldn't find a shawl/wrap for night...I hear it gets cool there at night ...therefore I had to stop at Younkers (dept store) and then it was all over. If it would not have been for this trip I would have been fine, cuz the last thing I need is more clothes. On the upside, I am very happy with my purchases. Just probably weren't all completely necessary.

Live and learn. It might be another year before I go into a department store so I guess I'm ok with it.
