My wait to purchase one is due to space issues rather than cost issues. I have identified space for one and borrowed my mum’s early this year, until she started sewing for my BFF’s company and took it back (dammit, my mistake in offering her services…) I’m very excited about nicely finished edges. At least threading and tension issues will be a nice change from the way my Brother sewing machine randomly skips stitches.

We always do pour overs for our coffee, but with baby on the way, I know we won’t have time. This is a drip maker that makes pour over grade coffee into a vacuum carafe (no hot plate scald). Want.

Hahaha I sincerely doubt anyone wants to buy me a $200 coffee maker 
people go in much more for adorable tiny baby clothes.
And amazon doesn’t even count it for the registry completion discount! I absolutely think that caffeine delivery systems should count for baby prep

I modified a used Burley for dog hauling by putting a plywood base in. I don’t remember what all I did aside from installing an eyebolt to clip him in, but it worked really well compared to the regular trailer setup.

I want a bunch of exercise equipment so I can work out at home.
I want someone to come tidy my room so there is space to work out at home.
I want to renovate my main floor so I can have an accessible home.
I want geothermal climate control in my house.
I want solar panels on my house.
I want to turn the basement and part of the upstairs into semi-separate suites so my kids can live here as adults but we can have our own spaces.
Everything on this list will cost at least 100k. So I guess I want 100k+.

I think one of my kittens would love to live in a sweater pouch for at least a few hours a day. My husband sent me the link to this and I told him he’s responsible for making sure someone gets me one for Christmas. Maybe two for when one’s in the wash.

So i’m on day 5 of not really having the use of my left leg. It will recover, but this is a thing that happens every couple of months. Most mobility aids are useless because of my hands, but there are some $275 crutches that use the elbow instead of the hand. (that’s 500 less than they used to cost)
It’s a ton of money. I would use them for a week every couple of months, and eventually more often because fucking degenerative disorder.
Please advise.

I have $$$ studded tires for a bike I only ride about ten times each winter. But those rides would be impossible without them.
My vote is spend the money.

+1 this is my vote too.
That is not very much money in the grand scheme of things for being able to walk more comfortably in the rough times.

Do it. At a week every couple of months, that’s a month back that you get every year. A month is worth $275.

I went to therapy this morning and talked about the non-rational reasons I’m resisting buying crutches. I will order them when I get home.
