It seems that I have come up with an extra $200.00. yep, extra.:eek: It's cool though, now I just have to spend it.

My husband has suggested that I spend it on myself. I don't know what to do with it though. When I got it, I thought "I can take my hubby out, and buy the girls Christmas dresses, and buy my mom a pedicure, and get my dog a new toy"

but it turns out none of that counts as "for Smunkee", other than the occasional Sonic Cherry Vannila Dr Pepper. I haven't really spent any money on myself in a while. (The sweater I bought on Black Friday doesn't count, because I needed it)


So 2 questions

1. If you had an extra $200.00 (meaning all your bills were already paid, your money alloted to savings already saved, and your Christmas shopping done) what would you do with it?


2. If you know me at all, (or think you do) what ideas do you have for me to spend it on?

I would give it to Jesus.

well, I already am titheing out of it, but you mean all right?

I don't think that woudl technically "count" either.

Kickass!

Personally, I'd go do something for myself. Lunch at UNO's, do some browsing through the mall, get myself a good book. I'd recomend the same thing for you.

You should give your money to me.

Get an acoustic guitar probably. Or maybe a bunch of paints.

$200 isnt much. A good dinner out with the family outta take care of it.

Get an acoustic guitar probably. Or maybe a bunch of paints.
Or both! Buy an acoustic guitar, paint a bunch of flowers and rainbows on it, and learn to play your favorite Beatles song.

DAY SPA!!


massage, facial, seaweed body wrap. whatever. take the whole stinking day off and just relax.

1/2 ounce of green bud, video game, X-Large pizza and a call to my buddies. But I'm guessing that's right out.

You can never have too much RAM.

I actually have an acoustic that I am about to sell on ebay. ;) It's blue though.

I should have been more specific. Jesus is my weed connection.

Hah, mine too. Although she prefers Ms. Jesus.

You should buy a Filly, by which I mean you need to buy a Fillipino boy. $200.00 should get you one of age 9 (They tend to start getting uppity at around 14 and have to be disposed of) or maybe even 8 or 7, provided you aren't to picky about then amount of limbs they have.
But then, you might have "morals" or "ethics" or some other stupid thing that ruins fun, so you should just buy a bunch of DVDs (or tapes if you like that sort of thing). Peter Lorre's M, American Psycho, Catch 22, Stanley Kubrick's The Shining, Seven Samurai etc, etc. You could burn a couple hundred on that sort of stuff easy.

I concur with fiddlebottoms, buy a fillipino boy.

...(They tend to start getting uppity at around 14 and have to be disposed of) ...

That's getting to be a real problem. People started flushing their Fillys when they got too big - now we have giant ones living in the sewers.

They are very useful. They can carry books, cooking materials, extra belts of ammunition, bodies, basically anything you need and don't feel like hauling yourself.

I love you for that.
Saying you save oh how sweet.:)

I would buy a Cricket BAt if you aretalking $200 U.S.
Otherwise 2 or 3 Playstaion 2 games.

2.
You deserve a lovely pendant/neckless,brooch set ear rings set.
or soething like this (http://www.spiritwrestler.com/exhibitions/images/kiwa_2003/kiwa_pendants/nz30712.JPG)

Or a truely Kick arse Artistic Painting to hang in the Kitchen or Hallway.

:D :D :D :D


Teenage Mutant Ninja Fillies!

you could buy a third kidney or 5 minuets with your best mates mum "cusssss" or even a mail order Bride so you can have two wives “chop chop dig dig”-Homer

Buy a few and get them to fashion a throne and carry you around in it.

give it too the poor black people that got caught up in hurricane katrina.
they are the only ones that matter in this world anymore.

or you could keep it for yourself and give yourself a round of applause for doing something that would get you ahead in life and enjoy the fruits of your own labor.

But that isn't a gift for she is it?

Not yet. I'm just an NS Z0MB13 because Jolt fucked my profile up. At this point I doubt anyone will ever fix it. Megh.

Well, I was taking about how to spend $200.00, but if you've got a grand on you, I know a man who will get you eight bearers and a throne made of the bones of some of their fellows.
Kind of expensive, but it makes a Hell of an impression.

No, jolt have made him ZOMB13.

1. If you had an extra $200.00 (meaning all your bills were already paid, your money alloted to savings already saved, and your Christmas shopping done) what would you do with it?

Increase my savings.

buy a good book, maybe a new dress and a day at the spa.

or a couple handles of cheap rum.

id go to the candy store and buy 1 bag of everything...

Clearly the only answer: Casino

I'd buy some cheap ass computer parts to put together for my little brother. Yes, you can throw some together for cheap....

okay first, I don't have use for a Filipino boy, so that's out.

second, I already have all those movies in one form or another (some on dvd, some on vhs)

I went and bought a bunch of stuff tonight, but none of it counted as "for me" so I still have to find something to spend my $$ on.

$200?

What's that...£90?

Not that much money.

Probably couldn't do much with it. Two or three nights out with friends.

hey, it's a fair amount. Besides it's the first time I have had $ in like the last 2 years that didn't go anywhere. It's just spending money, and believe me for someone who has never really had spending money, $200.00 is a lot.

One time I got all this money i wasnt expecting from my job that I was laid off from a few months back. I recieved ten thousand dollars for nothing. I also worked another job to pay for my living. I had ten thousand extra dollars. It was the summer of George!

Well...in Belfast it would pay for a couple of nights out, tops.

Would be good to have though :)

A Filly is a Fine-Something-That-All-People-Need! He needs no shirt, just a grubby smock. He can knit gloves, and carry your hat.
But he has other uses. Yes, far beyond that. You can make him do carpeting. Fluff pillows! Fold sheets! Sew curtains! Or carry spare bicycle seats!
Very much like thneeds in those respects.
second, I already have all those movies in one form or another (some on dvd, some on vhs)
Those were only examples (though you have just gained 100 Fiddlebottomsian Points of Approval for owning M) I'm sure there is something videographic and nifty that you don't own. Hell, since you never planned on having the money, you could buy some crappy prententious movies that will make everyone think you are "t3h sm4rt13." The Dekalogue, for instance, is largley horrible, but oddly popular among people who think that they think.

Obviously, this freedom is too much a burden for you to bear. I offer to free you of this albatross and offer you true liberation. Send the cash to me! I could blow the lot of it in a single night in a manner that I assure you will be utterly frivolous and selfishly enjoyable.

I have my own kids already for stuff like that.

yeah, I thought about maybe buying a season of a show on DVD, but couldn't decide on one show (or even one season of one show)

yeah, but I want to be selfish, I just can't think of anything that I really want (well anything that I really want that costs only $200.00)

Invest it in something.

A penny saved is a penny earned!

Invest it in something.
I invest with my other money, this is money for me.

A penny saved is a penny earned!

I save already, it's getting frustrating, I will have a better lifestyle when I am retired than I do now.

Hm, I don't know you well enough to suggest anything.

This is the best I can come up with. Perhaps a minivacation. Might not be able to afford much, but maybe have someone watch the kid(s) (I don't remember didn't you say you had kids?) and go somewhere relaxing with your husband for a day. Perhaps camping (if its not too cold).

Personally I think we all have too much junk allready. And my life is pretty stressful, so I like to spend my money on relaxing experiences. And I love nature. So that's the sort of thing I would spend my money on. Though here it's probably too cold, but in some places of the country its still decent.

You could spend your $200 on a night of alcohol, drugs, and man whores.

I fine night of debauchery, if you ask me.

Yes, Minister and Yes, Prime Minister were pretty good. If indesicion is your main foe, though, then it might be better just to think of a few things that wouldn't be objectionable too spend the cash on and pick the exact ones you do at random.
yeah, but I want to be selfish, I just can't think of anything that I really want (well anything that I really want that costs only $200.00)
As a proffessed sinner, I can assure you that any and all money that reaches my possession will be spent in a manner that is utterly selfish and probably immoral. You could live vicariously through me, while keeping your own soul clean and shiny! Its a win/win!

PS: I know that this is a pretty weak con I'm trying to run here, but my game is really off tonight.

Save 3/4 of it for the brooks brothers sale, go out to dinner with the rest.

Music, duh. :p

Music, duh. :p

Save it for an emergency. You'll thank yourself later. :)

Ok it was just you don't have any posts and you don't have an online/offline icon....

go on a mystery tour!

I already have an emergency fund, a retirement fund, and other "in case I need it" investments.

That's where all my extra money goes now.

All of my tithe, bills, groceries, Christmas shopping, tuition (for hubby), retirement savings, emergency fund, ect. is done.

If one more person tells me to save it, I swear to God........:headbang:

Music, duh. :p
OMG, I didn't even think of that:headbang: I am so going to hit my local awesome record store today after church.............:D

Yeah, if I had a record store like that near me, i'd practically live there...

1. I would buy something for my kids - it's Christmas.

2. If I was you, I would think about myself, die of guilt, and go out and buy something for the kids. It's Christmas.

1. I would buy something for my kids - it's Christmas.
that was what my mom said to do, but we have a tradition that they only get 3 presents each (and I already bought those)

2. If I was you, I would think about myself, die of guilt, and go out and buy something for the kids. It's Christmas.
yeah, I bought them baby dolls last night, but my husband says it didn't "count" so it didn't come out of my $.

I felt guilty anyways though and gave them thier dolls last night.

buy a whole bunch of booze and see how much you can drink before you pass out. - i might try that in your situation
failing that, fireworks are always fun
better yet, try both. or don't, if you like living :D

well, I already am titheing out of it, but you mean all right?

I don't think that woudl technically "count" either.

My only suggestion is to do something that in no way enriches the church. If it really makes you feel bad to do something selfish with it, be assured that if you don't give any of it to any religious organization that I will consider it a great personal favor. That would make it inherently non-selfish, so you can do whatever you want with it entirely guilt free.

If one more person tells me to save it, I swear to God........:headbang:
*chants* save it. save it. save it.:D

I would buy a ton of DVDs, books, and CD's. but thats just me.

You could give it to me! *looks hopeful*

I'd get more RAM. Or books. Oh shit, that's a tough choice.

You could spend your $200 on a night of alcohol, drugs, and man whores.

I'm really starting to like your style
