Me

OK, we've all talked about doing it - Drop by here and report all the Damn Dimes you're specifically going out and spending today. Talk about getting 'bang-for-your-bucks', we can counter-protest the loony lefties today, drive the DUmmies nutz, celebrate the innaguration of OUR President, and stimulate the economy - all at the same time! Let's see just how much money the FReepers can spend today!

Spent the morning watching the swearing in...wow...now off to spend some money. Mr. C4E and I are going to breakfast prior to my going to the office. Last week spent $700 on car repairs..couldn't wait for today...does it still count? Did close an ebay deal. God bless America..let freedom ring.

Sorry, I must have missed the announcement. Was there an thread for designating this day?

Anyway, since our local United Way stop supporting Boy Scouts, I decided to not even let them count my designated charitable contibutions in their tally. So I'll send in the full-year check to our local Life Care Pregnancy Center today. I already sent in one to another organization earlier this week.

While I'm at it, I'll take the wife and son out to eat.

Oh, forgot about that whole protest. Anyway, I had my hair cut and went out to eat.

No worries, you aren't supposed to spend beyond your means, just spend what you can. I would say that spending money on your kitties is a great way to show your support for the Viking Kitties!!!

Bless your heart, Trussell.

Just 1 of the MST3K DVD sets? Pshaw! Buy all 6! They're worth it!

I tried spending money today, but Best Buy was out of stock of what I wanted. I ended up buying a pack of grape licorice from the travelling candy guy who stopped by. So, it's my $3.50 vs your $1500.

Haven't been able to tear myself away from the TV and computer, but did buy 6 pairs of reading glasses (for computer use) on E-Bay.

Take care of those eyes, folks!

[BreitbartSentMe]

You got it!!

This may be a good opportunity to swap favorite author stories and fuel a book buying spree. A freeper recently turned me on to Carl Hiaasen. His suspense novels are the funniest, most enjoyable books I can remember reading in a while. I purchased eight hardcover, first edition copies from alibris.com, four of which were signed by Hiaasen.

Anybody want to share their favorite writers for the cause - 'cause I love to discover a new author.

I just spent $359 on new office chairs!

I put dimes in my penny loafers.

I love this place!

Sweeet! Sounds great. Yep those new screens on Laptops are something else. I was totally blown away by them.

I was really torn between this one and one of the new mini-Sonys. I figured saving a grand was worth luggin' around the extra weight. Now that I've tried out this computer for most of the day, I think I made a great choice. Good power life (2.5 hours), and a bonus I didn't expect - digital media drive (SD/Memory Stick/MMC/SM) to handle all the cards from my cameras, plus I never knew my video camera has a firewire port. I keep telling myself to play with this stuff tomorrow and go out and buy some accessories for the new laptop.

[Prime Choice]

I spent $200 on cigars...and I don't even smoke anymore.

[BreitbartSentMe]

OK everyone, just from the FReepers who listed actual dollar amounts of their purchases, we up to $117,742.50!!

WOW, FReepers, way to go!!!

[adaven]

I have already made plans to take my wife and two daughters out to a nice dinner. After dinner, my wife and I will share a bottle (or two?) of some decent, expensive wine.

[WinOne4TheGipper]

Add in...

haircut- $8
Lunch- $6.41

Cheap, aren't I? Every dime counts, though.

Just so you know, after I heard about this, I made sure to order myself a birthday present: a Louis Vuitton Bag! I am trying not to spend, but i can't think of a better day to do it! In your face, libs!!!

[MeekOneGOP]

Yay! Good for you! :^D

[JLO]

Checks today:

$600 (approx.) for the installation crew currently installing them.

[Mich0127]
