It ... I want to buy it; 'cause, all too often I just don't buy it. Of course, after I've bought it no one will hear from me anymore. That's always the way it is isn't it?

cheap-o wood band saw (but with a solid, even table)

I want to buy happiness, but I'll settle for getting new sneakers for the kids. I just hope there are stores open tomorrow in this apocalyptic weather we are to get.,

Amen.

for my birthday i bought myself a 23" LG Flatron E2341 monitor for $200 bucks at fry's. had my CRT for almost 20 years. time to replace it. i'm VERY happy with it. been surfin' around the net, played an old school game (unreal tourney). all around very pleased with it!

a bigger sofa, so I can lie down, tune in and drop out to my music

I'd like to fall ass backwards over about $3000. All this motorsikkel talk gots me wanting to ride again.

new lawnmower :(

oh and replace the bike that got stoled... did i mention that yet?

Aww...the cops never found it? That sucks.

I want to buy a little hand-held GPS to help me get lost on my exploring adventures. I don't want one of those car thingies that directs you around the city like an annoying back seat driver. I want to use mine to pin point just exactly how lost I truely am. Even the small GPS's can be kind of pricey for me, though. I'm thinking of hitting the local pawn shops in hope of finding a bargain.

When I dream really big, I still want that travel trailor. Then I'd never have to worry about some stupid housing voucher ever again, and I'd never leave the mountains either. But that's just a dream (sigh). Might be able to come up with the GPS tho.

For my mother, not my MIL.

Having played with the Garmin eTrex Vista HCx, I recommend it highly. There are free topos that you can load onto it, unlike the Magellan GPS's, which limit you to the Magellan-supplied maps.

I have used both (wrongway has a Magellan Platinum), and find the eTrex much more intuitive to use, smaller, fits better in the hand, easier to read (full color) display. Actually, any of the eTrex series is good, but it's better to get the one with the magnetic compass and the altimeter, rather than the one that estimates based on the satellite positions, and can only determine your direction while you are moving. You can't mark a bearing on the moving-compass estimate kind.

my phone has a very capable gps thingie

Phones are terribly sensitive beasts.

They don't like getting wet, they don't like being banged against trees and rocks.

They don't like being too far away from a charging outlet, especially when the GPS is activated.

Right now I want to buy deodorant, hairspray and hair colour.
Got the right-before-payday-blues.

I don't need a car, and if I were shopping for a car, it would need to be a practical one that's reliable and inexpensive to maintain, and versatile. But I've really been drawn to the new Fiat 500. I just love it. It makes no sense. It's totally wrong for me. But I want one.

When I win the lottery I'll have a Fiat 500 convertible as my car-about-town.
Never seen it in red - it comes in lovely pastel ice-cream colours here.

It would actually be perfect for me and my needs!
But of course because I'd be shit-arse rich I'd also have a Jeep Cherokee in the garage for bad weather and journeys of two hours plus (like my trips down to my flat on Cardiff Bay).

I had a Fiat. F-I-A-T stands for Fix It Again, Tony. :thepain2:

It's a beauty, though.

I read the Fix It Again Tony jibe back in the 80s - never really applied to any of the Fiats my friends owned.
Perhaps it's because it's a European car and we live - technically - in Europe.

I've know more people who had issues with Japanese cars back in the day, because they had to wait for parts.

Not really defending a car I have never driven (ie the 500) just windering if it's a cloche or a problem with parts.
