[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by Mookie</i> <br /><br />Kevin, Kevin, Kevin - we are having a disagreement again. I will hold your hand while we talk and ask that you look into my big green and brown eyes with blue rims and see if I can't distract you from your reasoning. <br /> <br />You eat at a favorite restaurant, have a favorite beverage and include your girlfriend. You both have a great time and enjoy the whole evening. This costs you? Depending on your taste - you could spend up to $100 or if you are like the driver and me, you will average about $10 to $20. Then after a day or two - it is but a memory....pleasant, but all gone! <br /> <br />Meanwhile your magazine arrives, provides immense pleasure and in a few days, is there again for your reading enjoyment. In fact, until you literally throw it away - it is always there, unlike the food and beverage. <br /> <br />(Batting my short eyelashes at you) You will have to decide, since you are now an adult, what you will and won't let into your life. If you drop your Trains magazine, they will miss you, because their customers are their lifeblood. But it is your decision - do I read or do I eat or do I save some $ by cooking and therefore can afford to read and eat. <br /> <br />I will give up cigarettes, beer, wild men and strip clubs, so I can afford to buy not only the Trains Magazine but also the Classic Trains. <br /> <br />Ok Kevin - your hand is getting too warm, so we must cease this conversation. But I thank you for your kind attention. <br /> <br />Mookie <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Look, you must know what i'm like- I look at what i'm wearing right now.. <br /> <br />Spring break shirt: 4 US dollars. <br />Levis Straus Jeans, obtained a Tj maxx, and after a good argument: 5 USDollars <br />Socks, Sears speccial: 6.99 for 6 Canadian Dollars, obtained at Sears Canada <br />Bowling shoes: 14.95 US dollars, aftr anohter good argument. <br />Sean John Jean Jacket 15 bucks USD <br />Undewaear.. La Senza.. 37.95 thong ...no i'm just kidding.. <br /> <br />So look at the those 4 thing I myself have purchased within the last few weeks. I'm am the cheapest person you will ever meet. I even have a policy, for every dolar I feel i'm overcharged, I will sustain an argument for that long.. At a store, 30 dollars to high? i'll sustain an argument for 30 minutes, after that it is not worth it. <br /> <br />Now i don't want to make any generalizations, but I am part Jewish.. Draw your own conclusions. <br /> <br />I can adequetly cloth myself, brand name materical for less the 10 dollars. <br /> <br />Go out for dinner? I'm a restaurant's nightmare come true// you have not seen cheap until you have met me. <br /> <br />So 10 dollars for a magazine? Outrageous and out of this world, <br /> <br />And i'm sorry Larry, but i'm not going to target Pampers or Huggies because the price of Trains magazine is too high> i can assume most people, they like to target the people who are reasponsible. <br /> <br />Trains and Trains magazine... I see a corrilation of about R=0.95 <br />(that means REALLY good) <br /> <br />i work hard for my money, and i am very careful to who i shell it out with <br /> <br />Now to address Mook, I don't smoke, i don't Drink (Except on rare occasions) I don't got to strip clubs, And havn't yet started dating men, (No, my girlfriend Isn't that bad..) So.. these are not capital expendatuyres in my eyes. <br /> <br />The price of the magazine Is not an acurate reflection of people's incomes, Saleries and wages after taxes According to Revenue Canada. <br />They supply the numbers, and i do the math. <br /> <br />An average person my agee now has to work almsot 2 full hours of his day to obtain this magazine (more like 1 hr 25 mins) <br /> <br />Not good enough!
