Do you also have the "home alternate" and "St. Patrick's Day green" jerseys of the Red Sox?

Is TCOTU limited to Manhattan? Or just people in the top 10% of income in the greater COTU?

I'm not sure but I just think it is funny that people choose to criticize me on my spending when we are very careful with our money.

Don't hate, Burger. You haven't lived until you've done shit like spend A Day With Thomas at some remote, rural train station with 500 other pre-schoolers. It's like a Toddler Dead Concert.

Awww, we wanted to do that. Now I have to wait till our youngest is slightly older

Thomas is like keeping it real the Wiggles seem kind of lame in comparison and Blue Clue's doesn't really do it for me.

I do cash. and I think it is nice to treat yourself.

regardless if you think staff should shop at like walmart.

Target is way better.

And you are so right, it is hysterical that we think you spend a lot because all you talk about is buying expensive stuff, but really, your family is really careful with money. Funny! A riot!

There is a difference between talking about 150 dollar foundation and going to the SK-II counter and buying it....I try to be careful, shop the sales, the outlets.

I like Target. My only issue is that with the Liz Lange and Mizrahi items I feel the quality isn't truly there.

There's been a zillion posts feeding the troll all weekend and you single me out? I'm on ignore, for heaven's sake. All I'm doing is talking into the wind.

Nothing is extreme and I don't buy that Celine bag I so covet.

It uses the lotion or it gets the hose.

At the risk of failing to STP, this claim is made in Freakonomics, which I haven't read. Here's the author being interviewed on that point:

• ROBERTSON: Well, the gun control advocates think that having a nine millimeter or a 45 in your dresser drawer with kids around is a pretty dangerous thing, and a nice outdoor swimming pool is a nice thing for kid to play in, in the hot summer. What were your findings on that one?
  
  LEVITT: The numbers show that if you have a swimming pool in your backyard and a gun in the house, the swimming pool is 100 times more likely to kill your child than your gun. Now, I am not a complete defender of guns, but people respect guns and treat them with respect. And they know the dangers. But people don't always treat swimming pools with respect. They don't realize what great dangers they pose to children.
  
  ROBERTSON: A hundred times more likely?
  
  LEVITT: Exactly.
