My riding lawn mower.

I don't have a huge amount of property, but without my riding lawn mower it takes me about three hours to do what I can do in one hour or so on my riding lawn mower. My weekends are so precious to me and yard work is not something I enjoy so I honestly couldn't do without the riding lawn mower.

This is my favorite, It use to take me an hour just to mow my lawn. Bought a rider, 46" cut and I  can cut my lawn in less than 25 minutes, now I can mow, weed wack, leaf blow, etc in the same hour it use to take me to mow. Plus my rider has a cup holder

favorite so far.





Sorry, but am not being really original right now - and have been royally spoiling myself for too long.  Smart Phone was probably the most life changing.  But backlit kindle is sweet as hell to read on at night.  Smartwool for years here.  Temperpedic almost as long.  Good shoes in general.    Do enjoy my wireless headphones.  Not under $500-but suppressors.  Definitely not under $500 - thermal optics.

Posts like this really make me curse my feet.  I'd love to be able to buy comfortable, long lasting socks, but they only make them for "normal" sized people.  Makes me want to find the material and learn how to sew.

Press pot for coffee.  

You could take away pretty much all of my "nice things," make me drive a scooter and put me in a tent, and I'd be OK. I'd be the grumpiest human in the state if you took away my press pot or tried to make me drink some other shit kind of coffee right when I get up.

Ex Officio Give and Go Boxer Briefs - incredible.  I will never own another pair of cotton underwear again.

Darn Tough socks - I've had Thorlos and SmartWool, but prefer Darn Tough.  You cannot beat their return policy either.

Salomon shoes with Superfeet Green inserts - I have high arches and never knew what "comfortable" was until I found this combo.

Charmin Ultra Strong - accept no substitutes.  Life's too short for sandpaper or transparent paper.

Oakley and Rudy Project eye pro - the cheap stuff will never grace my face again.

Wet wipes was mine. It is what I was going to post even before I saw yours.
I'm not sure I'd like using wet wipes to wipe my...behind...but although my kids are now ten and eleven I still keep a pack of wet wipes in each car because they are great when stuff spill, kids' hands are coated in Doritos dust, or I just put gas in my truck and my hands stink like diesel fuel and there isn't a washroom nearby.

Was going to post the exact thing. Love mine. Bought them last winter and thought they might be too hot come summer time but nope they are great and I wear them everyday.

My socks are purchased in packs of 6 pairs, wrapped in plastic, for $10. Am I doing it wrong?

Yup.

Darn Tough socks are also very high quality with a lifetime guarantee.  I wore about 4 pair thin on the bottoms over a few years, mailed them back and they were replaced with brand new socks.  Forever socks!

Sorry, in my book that is money well spent  The world can go to hell as long as the tits are still up!!

For me:
DVR    Can't live without it now.
Quality tools.  Tired of cheap shit breaking.
Premium Fuel in my '15 Mustang GT. It just runs so much better.
The wife:
Getting her nails done every two weeks.
Getting her hair done every 3 to 5 months
DVR
Boob job.  Getting them redone every 10 years.  We're over due by a year.
And now she has discovered "The cleaning lady".  I'm afraid it's going to become permanent.

Nope.  Maybe "allergic" wasn't the right word, but I put them on and a half hour later my feet are itching like crazy.  I never have been able to tolerate most wool clothes against my skin, but the Merino in SW didn't used to bother me.
