    thanks GTD... it wasn't so bad... the roofing project was planned, it was only the chimney that was a surprise! it's a good thing i got a good price for the roof... the extra cost for the chimney just brought it up to match the other quotes i received....

    i guess it's all about balance... ;)

    don't be scared to buy a house... this was the first unexpected item i've run into in 5 years...

    ok... the one day last winter when my furnace broke down was a little unexpected. Had to sleep in a touque and mittens for one night, before the repair man could come...

    oh, and when my fridge quit, and i had to buy a new one...

    damn, i guess it's worse than i thought! :p:D

    well I don't think I have to worry, there's no way I can buy one anyway!

    Yeah it's a great guitar! I actually bought that a little under a year ago. I guess my last big purchase would be all the money I'm spending using it in the studio. The guitar shines through in the mix though.. doesn't matter how many other things are going on at the time, you can always clearly hear it.

    I bought an old cop car last week. My friends get a kick when I let them out of the backseat, as the doors only open from the outside.

    OH, the role playing to come. (Good pun.)

    if you add up all the parts ordered for the 2 old-ass mustangs my sons have, then that'd be it.

    $1300 - I bought my sweetie an engagement ring for Valentine's Day. However, an even bigger purchase came two days later when I had to replace all four bald tires (they're those super-pricey "run-flats") on my sedan. I had no idea tires could cost that much -- maybe if I drove a Ferrari or Lamborghini (which I most likely never will)! Makes me really miss my last car -- '94 Honda Civic. Now there's a low cost/low maintanence car!
    Rock on!

    I'm seriously jealous, Trailer! I had my eye on that particular guitar (or the 714 or 914). I was thinking this would be the year to purchase after I got my tax return. I usually buy a guitar about every other year or so w/ my tax return. But different expenses suddenly arose. Enjoy that fine axe!
    Rock on!

    Oh my god, had to google "Christian Louboutin shoes" to see what you're talking about. Do girls really spend $700 on shoes? On shoes??!?!!

    I also have a pair of Shure headphones and I really like them. I've had them 3 years this March and no problems. They make listening to music more fun than it already is

    I LOVE to look at shoes, but I never buy any fancy heels like that or anything because my clothes can't even come close to going with them, and I couldn't even buy clothes that would because my body doesn't support cute/together clothes (I just wear ill-fitting jeans from the gap that hang in all the wrong places)! Plus with my displaced foot bones, it would just be paying for pain!

    $700 is scary though! I bought my Sanitas/Danskos to wear everyday and they cost like $115 or something and that freaked me out!
