Nothing tangible, but the wife and I just paid off every debt we had besides our house. Almost 30k worth. Kinda feels unreal right now.

Trastion posted:Start making larger payments on your house to get that sucker paid off too. That's the plan. Anything we buy for ourselves right now will probably be pretty insignificant. Although we're doing a big vacation next year, so we'll be saving for that too.

Bought a new pure latex bliss mattress set to replace the 20+ year old one we had. It was so comfy I feel asleep on it on the showroom floor. Gets delivered tomorrow!

New Keurig 2.0 K450 to replace the single serve one we've had forever. I know it's not the most primo of coffee, but I've never really had a problem with it. It's definitely convenient since I'm always running behind in the morning.

rotaryfun posted:Do you use 1 kcup to fill the whole pot? Seems like it would be really weak coffee. I'm sure I'm probably wrong though. You can use a regular k cup for a single cup, or they make larger cups for the pot, which really isn't all that big, maybe like 4 cups worth.

Wife's hairdresser/friend told us about http://www.uberzonclub.com/ and I've purchased in the last week: Beard Oil Beard Cream Silicone grill mitts Barbecue shredding claws 2 different styles of car cell phone holders Total spent was less than Oh, and a friend was asking me what I wanted for my birthday and I jokingly told him a new 3ds with Xenoblade Chronicles. He misunderstood what I said and he bought me a copy of the game not realizing I didn't have the system already so I had to fix that problem. hamsystem has a new favorite as of 21:14 on Jul 20, 2015 |

We have a latex mattress that is ridiculous. I can barely do anything once I get into bed because I usually crash in 20 minutes or less. It was also hella expensive, but it's been worth it just for the quality of sleep and generally feeling better.

Chrono Trigger DS, which makes it like the 10th time I've bought Chrono Trigger across the various platforms it's been released on. No ragerts, it's still my favorite game and the PSN version sucks poo poo.

Or are you going to a Con in Dallas where they happen to be appearing and you've booked a photo session with them? Most people would just say they're going to Comic-Con or whatever. Yeah comic-con.

Paid $150 today for a lasik screening exam, and will be dropping $3k Thursday to have it done.

Yeah, it's been a long time coming. I was prepared to pay 4 grand, but they had a holiday deal and a 5% cash discount that knocked off a little over a thousand so that's just a bonus.

Josh Lyman posted:Is it true that you need to to have follow ups in like 10-15 years? Did you do regular or custom? Price? No, but I'll probably end up having to use reading glasses eventually which is just part of normal eye aging and because they fix your eyes for seeing at a distance. I paid $3k for both eyes after a holiday and cash discount, but expect to pay around 4 normally. Absolutely worth it though.

Solid Cake posted:Is there a LASIK thread? I took a look through the first few pages of TGD and YLLS and didn't see one. I've had a few friends who have had it done, my boyfriend had it done yesterday, and I'd be very interested to read about other people's experiences with it as well. I'd love to not have to wear glasses anymore but the whole idea of it scares the poo poo out of me. I was given two valium before the procedure so I didn't really give a poo poo about anything. It was completely painless, but if you have a bigger than average fear of stuff being around/in your eyes than I imagine it's not gonna be your most favorite thing. Honestly the worst part is/was this stupid eye shield I have to wear when I sleep for a week. It sucks. And there was some burning pain in my eyes for a couple of hours after the numbing drops wore off but it wasn't unbearable, sorta like getting shampoo in your eyes but less intense. Definitely worth it though, at my follow up today I was at 20/15.

Solid Cake posted:I stopped being a weenie and finally scheduled a procedure to get LASIK here Thursday. Their website looks terrible but they're the best in this part of the country. I had my consultation this past Monday and was told that I was a good candidate for the surgery, and also found out that the prescription I've had for glasses and contacts is about two whole points weaker than what I really need so I've actually been seeing like poo poo for a long time and had no idea As a recent receiver of lasik let me say congratulations and gently caress corrective lenses.

Wanted a cheap projector for the occasional movie night and taking on trips. Decided on a Vankyo 620. It came with a free stand and I got their 120" portable screen, whole thing came out to ~$200. It arrived at the right time because we're having to stay in a hotel for almost 2 weeks while we have some mold removal done on our house. I'm just using the beige hotel room wall but it works a lot better than I thought it would: It looks much better in a completely dark room but so far it's been a good purchase.
