    Not me. I'm not allowed in the kitchen except to eat. Even my ex wife did all the housework. Oh, it's not that I haven't volunteered. I'm just not allowed. I'm allowed to do all the "paper work" and make and receive all the business calls, otherwise, she pretty much monopolizes the phone. Nope, I'm King in my house and my wife gives me permission to say that. She did lay down the law yesterday. She told me she's going to buy a multithousands of dollars purse in the near future. Gulp. I have to accept the bad with the good.

    If I win the lotto and my wife wants to buy a 1000 dollar plus purse I'll be getting a divorce....

    Or a mistress. If we're just gonna blow things it goes both ways.

    I wish her purse was only a thousand dollars. It's actually a few thousand. My only allowed response is "Yes dear".

    $2000-$3000 for a purse? Is it covered in diamonds? Gold plated?

    I have no idea. She's looking at two or more purses one of which is a Louis Vuitton.

    Bad news, men. Gotta go. Seems like this is some sort of holiday and my wife insists on making me a delicious breakfast. Well, who am I to deprive her of her joy. I'll eat every bite and enrich her life. Yes, I'm that kind of guy.

    My coworker bought his wife a 2 thousand dollar purse and I recently asked if she still uses it and he said yes.

    That would at least keep me somewhat grounded.

    King Lanny? More like manservant Lanny! My point exactly....if Adam wants to get lucky he'll be celebrating Eve and fulfill all of her wishes! I was born in the Chinese year of the Horse....it means my wife can make me go wherever she wants with a simple nudge.

    Still uses it? You're God Damned right she'd better use it and use it a long time.
    I think a purse costing that much is insanity but then my wife thinks owning a Volvo is insanity. A Volvo at least has life saving features as well as gets you from 'A' to 'B' in comfort and efficiently. A Volvo will also last a long time, as my experience tells me.
    I see the car as having a lot of practical value that an expensive purse doesn't. I used to buy my wallets at the bargain table at the after Christmas sales.
    The purse is a status symbol and not much more. But women judge other women harshly if they don't have a purse that's as good or better than their's.
    Frequently, I thank God I wasn't born a woman. Other women would hate my shoes, my purse and my lack of makeup.

    We have a Christmas Adam service at our church every year. That would be the day before Christmas Eve, since as we all know, Adam came first--a fact which may have explained why Eve was spending time with the serpent...

    I wouldn't know an expensive purse if I saw one. A thief would. Reason 1b not to buy one.

    Skeptical. I think most purse snatchers wouldn't know Louis Vuitton from Louis L'Amour. Not the sort of crime that attracts crooks that do research.

    The people who steal large numbers of purses from Department Stores may not be the same people as run of the mill purse snatchers but people do steal the expensive purses on purpose.

    I don't see why a criminal wouldn't figure out which purses were expensive to target for snatching. More expensive purse could mean more expensive contents.

    Louis Vuittion.jpg I don't know? Perhaps they don't care what's in it. $650 on ebay.

    Snatch any purse you can for the contents and sell the expensive purse on Ebay if you get one. Or pawn shop I bet

    Agreed, but your wife doesn't need to worry about the people who steal from department stores, unless of course you are married to a department store. In which case I hope she isn't a Sears.

    Criminals are stupid, usually. When you see a purse snatching on tv, is it somebody dressed to the nines getting out of a lamborghini? No, it's usually granny at the A&P.

    I think it comes after Christmas. As in, “It’s Adam good thing that’s over with.”

    I was told that the day after Christmas was when we were all supposed to pull out our old "Skid Row" cassettes; ie, "Bach Sing Day".
