Money
Why is it that when we (husband and I) have money I am like a miser, never wanting to spend a penny. Then when we don't have money I am spending like there is no tomorrow?
You may ask why I bring this up. We are shopping for a riding lawn mower. We need one, this is not a frivolus expense. We have over 2 acres (actually Paul has) to mow, it is hilly and can't be done with a push mower. So why don't I want to spend the money? I would much rather horid the money away in a savings account and forget it is there. I know this is an investment in our home, but I don't wanna!

Because you're a sick miserly female version of Scrooge.
Just kidding. (ducking) ;-)
It's like when we were teens...only a couple of years ago for Vanessa, I know, but when it was money borrowed from the parents we blew it on beer, weed...oops, that was my teen years. Vanessa would blow it on movies, clothes, pizza. When we got a job working fast food or mowing lawns we didn't want to spend it. We'd still borrow from mom and dad even though we had money in our pockets. It's just part of being tightwad human beings. Vanessa should take a part time job at Hooters. Then a riding lawnmower would be affordable in no time at all and Paul would get all the Mahi-Mahi he could eat for free.
I think it's just hard to spend money on big ticket items. A few dollars for a new outfit or hair creme pales in comparitson to a riding lawn mower in terms of dollars spent on one purchase. While, it's true that that the small ticket items add up, the big ones just hit you like a cement truck... Don't feel bad.
Sam, it means a lot to me that you think I would look good in a Hooters outfit! :-)
Did you think I would think otherwise? It's also a compliment to me and Paul. We've got great taste in women and we only pick the hottest of hotties. That's why we feel that both you and Paulette would look outstanding in Hooters outfits. So do yourself and Paul a favor...start shopping for short orange shorts and tight t-shirts. And regarding riding lawnmowers...I remember driving through LaGrange, TX one afternoon. I saw a girl using one to cut the lawn and I almost lost control of my car when I noticed she was riding it wearing a very tiny bikini. Just FYI.
