Thanks :)<BR/><BR/>Pilgrim/Heretic, Just say no to wide seats! You can measure your sit bones (or get a shop to do it), and then make sure you get a seat that supports your sit bones and doesn't get in the way :)<BR/><BR/>Ianqui, Oh, I spend money like an idiot at the supermarket sometimes, I'm sure.<BR/><BR/>Kermit, Do they do their own toes? I know a guy who paints his dogs toes... I don't know why THAT came to mind right now, but it weirded me out.<BR/><BR/>Dorothy W. Thanks :)<BR/><BR/>Inside, If that shocks you, I hate to think what happens when we actually meet! I have nothing against trying it, so long as they don't put polish on the nails.Bardiachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11846065504793800266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17974015.post-14901189269369022312008-07-26T07:32:00.000-07:002008-07-26T07:32:00.000-07:00I'm really shocked that you've never had a pedicur...I'm really shocked that you've never had a pedicure -- in fact, when (not if) I get to meet you in person, I'll buy your first one. I'm not a girly-girl, but dual pedicures is a really nice girl-bonding thing to do once... <BR/><BR/>On the idea that people get them weekly, I highly doubt that -- maybe every 4-6 weeks is more like it. Since they run at least $50.00 each, saving $100 over the summer by doing your own isn't a bad thing -- but, I'd rather eat at home, make my own coffee and drive the Corolla vs. the Jeep and keep my pedicures...Inside the Philosophy Factoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12255753259090709877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17974015.post-66059147345308427302008-07-25T13:17:00.000-07:002008-07-25T13:17:00.000-07:00Add me to the list of people who haven't gotten a ...Add me to the list of people who haven't gotten a pedicure (or a manicure) and aren't in the least interested in getting one.

So if we assume that a fair proportion of them are getting pedicures on a regular basis... it still astounds me, but maybe that article isn't far off.kermitthefroghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15742856153167362749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17974015.post-45419342594692929722008-07-25T07:16:00.000-07:002008-07-25T07:16:00.000-07:00Just chiming in to agree with everyone that people...Just chiming in to agree with everyone that people seem to have really extravagant habits that I'd never consider...Another big one is getting lunch out every day. In NYC, that can cost $10 every day. If you estimate $10 x 5 working days x 49 working weeks, that's almost $2500 a year! Add the coffee and the pedicures and whatever other stupid things we spend money on...yeah, it's a lot. <BR/><BR/>That said, everyone has their extravagances. Mine generally comes in not looking too closely at the prices of things that I want from the supermarket.Ianquihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03268223727887685830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17974015.post-21520349064986497182008-07-25T06:38:00.000-07:002008-07-25T06:38:00.000-07:00Yes, that's my reaction too!

I've never had a pedicure (nor wanted one) but now I kind of wish I did, just so I could quit and save money. <BR/><BR/>Glad to hear that the wider seat isn't all that... I've been thinking about getting one, just because I have a big wide rear end and thought it might be more comfortable, but wasn't sure if it would feel like it was in the way. See, there's something else I can not do to save money.Pilgrim/Heretichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08588407758172717893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17974015.post-82677389515333346712008-07-24T19:59:00.000-07:002008-07-24T19:59:00.000-07:00I'm always horribly disappointed by those articles...I'm always horribly disappointed by those articles too. Besides the air-conditioning (we don't use it at all), and the daily coffee (??? I buy coffee maybe once a month - I prefer my home made stuff by far), they always say things like, "consider buying store brands and generics for some items" (I already do for just about everything), "don't drive everywhere" (I walk or cycle already), and here's how to get discounts on things like movies (we belong to the university film club where you can go to as many movies as you like for $50 a year), take-out (I don't remember the last time we didn't cook our own meal), etc.<BR/><BR/>I don't think I've ever found a useful tip on those sites, but I frequently finish up feeling horrified at how expensive it must be to be some people.StyleyGeekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10287051608503966129noreply@blogger.com
