WI...Ever try throwing away a trash can? The trash men won't take it!

Coaster...I would normally agree with you and nuff said. But just recently a miracle (of sorts) happened to me. And if it didn't happen to me I wouldn't have believed it for all the reasons you stated. Mr. Lixy and I were at the mall and passing through a store in the "sea of designer's purses" section. He said, "You can look if you want", to which I nearly fainted and wanted to ask, "Who are you and what did you do with my real husband?" But I just mumbled something to the order of it being futile to shop for a purse with him because I have never been able to pick out a bag in less than a 1/2 hour...and at times it has taken longer. I looked halfhearted and attempted to get past the shelves and hangers and tables when lo and behold...atop a table of clearance purses, in a mile high pile, lay the perfect purse in the world! It was a paisley print Tommy Hillfiger hand bag with a hippie inspired tassle. I'm a single short strap, shoulder bag kinda chick but this bag seemed to know me. I lead hubby up to the table and reached for the purse, opened it and knew I'd have to pare down my carry all goods but that I had found my fall fashion statement. I looked at the price and if I had to pay original price I would have never bought it. But, miracle upon miracle, it WAS on clearance at half price and then for that day only an additional 20% was to be taken off at the register! I felt woozie!!!! I told Mr. Lixy that he had just witnessed something no other man had seen before and that he should be in awe. When all was said and done I paid less for this purse than any I have ever purchased and...AND...I did it in less than 5 minutes! So there! *raspberries x's 2*


Now back to your regularly scheduled guy crying about his pitiful woes thread...............
