Over the weekend wife asked me for a Louis Futon hand bag and bucket bag. I said sure honey...no problem. I had no idea the price for just one of these bags would buy me an Armalite for christs sake!
Allston Shoulder Bag, $975.00 AND THAT'S ONE OF THE CHEAPER ONES!!!!

I'd help you out, but I'm flat out of cash. And change. And I only got about five bucks in my account. And I need that to keep the account.
But, remember, never promise anything until you know how much it costs. |

My ex- used to buy Coach bags. I feel your pain. Of course, that is one reason I left her: She'd run up the credit cards and expect me to pay it. I've been gone 5 years and am still paying.

One other thing: She suckered you. I would have a talk with her and ask her if she knows just how much one of the effing things cost. If she does, then I'd start looking for an attorney.
That's just too high-maintenance. |

Not to hijack, well, yeah this is a slight hijack: The"suckering" can go both ways. My brother called last month and said that the wife had approved him buying a machine-gun. WHICH she has no friggin' idea how much it costs--she just thinks it'll be another damn gun in the safe. BWAHAHAHA! |

If you suck it up and buy it It will pay off in the end she will never be able to tell you not to spend money on a gun.

It's Louis Vuitton.
And it's French!  But wives and girlfriends don't care about that! Miz Hun has a very nice collection of LV purses and handbags purchased at Hun expense. And Coach, and Chanel, and Kate Spade, and others. The only designer handbag line that she didn't make me purchase was Dooney & Burke. Eric The(SoICountMyselfLucky)Hun

I guess I'm fortunate. . . I showed my wife a SA Colt M4 type carbine that soon will be for sale and said, I think we should get another one.
At impact guns they are already advertising the Colts with 6920 M4 uppers stamped "Law Enforcement Only" as limited editions. They call them "Ban Free" carbines. http://www.impactguns.com/store/COLT-LE6920BF.html |

1. Does she carry more money than the purse is worth?
2. An expensive purse becomes a security risk - people get killed for these things |

Oviously you're not married - no woman thinks rational like that. When I was stationed in Lowery AFB in Colorado my mom came to visit. She has collected coins all her life so she wanted me to take her to the US mint downtown Denver. So she picks me up in the rental car and we go downtown Denver ... which is full of homeless beggars. She's wearing a mink coat (not a jacket) and four carets worth of diamond on her fingers and another ten in a bracelet. I did manage to convince her to give me the tennis bracelet and to turn her rings inside-out but we couldn't hide the coat. It was like a huge neon sign attacting beggars from the greater three state area. |

Buy her the bag she knows you can afford it. If you don't have the money sell your quality guns and buy a Hesse. The message is buy quality every time you open your wallet. If you buy quality every time you use your purchase you will be glad you made the buy . I quality purse for a woman has meaning for her as a quality gun does for you.

I agree, I forgot how the conversation got started but I told my girlfriend I wanted a machinegun and she said "Okay for Christmas" well I'm sure she didn't understand the price difference between the post ban ARs, and similar guns, that she has seen me buy and an M16. ETH has a point though, to a certain extent it's a cost of doing business. Should I crab because my girlfriend wants a Coach purse when she can functionally the same thing at Pennies for $ 40 and that's all she "needs?" Do I "need" yet another AR15? Wait a minute WTF am I saying, of course I do-anyway chicks want this stuff and compared to gun crap it's a drop in the bucket. I don't know why they need this crap, but then I wouldn't want to smooch some stinky clp smelling guy either so be thankful chicks are different. |

It won't stop with just the purse. The female afflicted LVD is as bad as BRD. Next up is the wallet, makeup bag, then the checkbook cover, and on, and on. Consider yourself FOREWARNED

Post from Aimless -
I think that chicks 'need' this stuff for the same reasons that we 'need' some of the high-priced stuff that we buy that we really don't 'need'! To impress the other chicks, I swear! Women dress and accessorize for each other's benefit, surely NOT ours! It's in the blood or the genes, or something! I first figured this kind os stuff out when the last Ex-Miz Hun was showing me a piece of gold jewelry and asked me if I thought there was 'too much pink in this gold?' 'Too much pink in this gold?' What in the Hades are you talking about, Miz Hun? There's either gold, or there's pink! There can never be 'too much pink in this gold'! Since then, I have asked womenz if there is such a thing and their answers are always, 'Yes, of course.' No man has ever said that they knew WTF I was talking about, but then I have never asked a gay guy about it! I have a feeling that gay guys might understand such concepts! Eric The(Nonplussed)Hun
