So after the discussion this am about how Retrouvaille was too expensive, I just went downstairs and found Mrs. Thinker sitting in the dining room with a door-to-door knife salesman, having priced out a full set with him. "What do you think?" she says, "They're only $500 for the set"
AAAAAARGHHHHH!!!!
I almost F'ing lost it.
Instead I said (almost calmly) "In understand the knives, they are great. I know all about them. I just don't think that in our situation we can afford to spend $500 on knives" - and then cut the salesman off when he started in on the "Well, we have a special today only sale where..."
[Ranting=Thinker] Can't afford to invest $400 in our M, but these knives are such a bargain at $500!!! What is she thinking!!!! [/Ranting]
OK, this made me laugh. Of course I thought The Shining was a funny movie.
I would have loved to have seen your face when she asked you what you thought of the knives!!!! Ya gotta laugh cause the alternative isn't as much fun. You handled it well Think. Cheers
