Damn ... a set of tires so I could sit down and have dinner in the main lounge. geez ...

But, I guess it's one of those things you have to do. I haven't bought a new suit in 15 years.

The actual coat and pants wasn't too bad. But the damn shirt, tie(s), suspenders, socks and dress shoes was over the freaking top. It's a good thing the sales clerk was hot and wore a loose cut blouse ... ph34r.gif

What's the occasion?

Besides, even in a suit, they might not let you in the main lounge...... nutkick.gif

She didn't mention anything about how soon, did she?

I vote for going with a slightly used truck, she'll appreciate that so much more because you're being "thrifty". You decided to sacrifice getting a new truck so you can spend money on a few things you wanted to get her.


You can quote me if you like.

Don't forget shirts, ties, socks, foo-foo thingy that goes in the suit pocket ...

Like I said, 20 years ago was the last suit I bought ... This one will last me till I'm dead ...

After your wife mentioned you being buried in that truck, that's what concerns me.

You still didn't mention the occasion, or did I miss it?

A cruise to Mexico then buried in the truck.

It took about 40 minutes or so to buy the truck.

I don't pick up the suit till Monday ...

So was the cruise the spouse tax on the truck?
mitchntx
Not really. I promised her a cruise last year after she had tirelessly taken care of my dad, step dad and mom.

Plus, it's our 28th wedding anniversary, so ...

Cruises are awesome. Just got back from my first a week ago. What line?

Not yet.... Depends on his attitude these days. I did physically launch him out of the computer room a few weeks ago after he snuck in and bit me when I wasn't looking. He's been much better behaved after realizing that I really am bigger than him.

Happy Anniversary Mitch!

Ok, this is spooky. I just bought a new suit Saturday for a cruise on RCCL to the Western Caribbean. When is your sail date?

Mitch, not to be a poo head but we have had three deaths (just in the past year) here with people riding ATV (4 wheel) without helmets.

Please be careful... we'd hate to lose you.
