[Market Research] Okay forget mediocrity. What's the fanciest thing you own or do?
1We’re looking for the embarrassingly bougie. The unrepentantly cushy. The exception that proves the rule. While you delight in a deal, what’s the one thing where you will spare no expense??

I have an Irk Plush. That’s probably the fanciest thing I own.
@OnionSoup I too am part of this ritzy crowd!
I have a timeshare in Maui. I would like to say it was a “I’ll spare no expense” purchase. Rather it was a slightly intoxicated, post divorce questionable decision.
@cbatte
Either way it sounds nice if you use it.
@Star2236 It is but expensive even though it is paid for. No one told me exactly how expensive the maintenance fees would be.
@cbatte @Star2236 Ooof.
Own: Inground pool with overflow hot tub and adjacent pool house…
Do: Travel
@chienfou hahahaha! I was about to say the same thing. Though I’m not as fancy as you. You have to leave the pool to get in the hot tub. Everyone loves coming to swim and comments on how much they’d love a pool. Pool’s are like boats. They’re better when your friends have them.
They’re just expensive and frustrating to maintain. Though in the summer, nothing beats a swim on a hot day.
@chienfou
Looks very nice and relaxing.
@sillyheathen
We have a saltwater system which I find pretty easy to maintain. The pump is on a Wi-Fi enabled timer which I can control from anywhere. And yes… Jumping in the pool after mowing the lawn is great therapy.
There was also the fact that when my grandkids were younger it enticed them to come down more often and was actually the one thing that helped make mom and dad’s decision to move closer to us a reality.
@Star2236
Thanks. We like it. We tried to make it a tropical haven to encourage us to not flit down the beach so often!!
@chienfou Meht-up at chienfou’s!
My jewelry collection probably. I’ve had a very generous boyfriend and I don’t wear it as often as I should but then we don’t really go anywhere either. If you want my to list stuff I have way to much off that I don’t really need but can’t get rid of, I could fill up a page.
@Star2236 How about a bling photo?
An all leather and back wood love seat made in Norway.
@Cerridwyn
@Cerridwyn @chienfou bravo
@chienfou @sillyheathen
grin
something like this
save the wood is black and the red is leather not cloth
@Cerridwyn @chienfou @sillyheathen
That looks like one of my couches
Probably my laser CNCs. Though I’m about to sell a few to upgrade to a CO2/Fiber setup so I can cut metal and weld. I also need to procure a carving CNC for my more specialized 3D woodworking projects but that may come a little later. As much as I love carving by hand, I am unable to do it as quickly as the machines though I will still dedicate some time to that. Can you tell that my aderall has yet to kick in?
We frequently go to DC and always stay at the Willard Intercontinental… a block from the White House. I never complain about the upgrade to the presidential suite
I’ve peed in the same toilet as Bushes, Clintons and Obamas 
Just not at the same time 
edit - Cowboy hats get you places…heh
@capnjb
Fucking classy
The fanciest thing that I own that I use regularly is my 2005 Scion xB with a manual transmission. The second fanciest thing I own does not get anywhere near as much use. It’s a Nikon D7500 camera with a carefully curated selection of lenses. I wish I had more opportunities to use it, although I have to admit that I could arrange for those opportunities myself if I really tried. The real problem is that for the past year it has been really difficult for me to get up the interest in trying. And for the past 6 months, I have been very wary of getting more than 20 minutes away from home, for reasons.
@werehatrack
Sorry to hear/not hear that…
Oh my gosh, that’s a tough one. I like to buy little luxuries here and there
F. My bbq grill. I love it, it is a Char Broil Vista Outdoor Kitchen
@tinamarie1974 I take my tea seriously as well. I have an OXO kettle that I spent $100 but then I saw one on Adagio that I like more. But my current kettle is only about a year old so I can’t find the justification to spend another $100 on another new kettle.
@tinamarie1974 Perfect tea is such a simple perfect joy. Money well invested!
And the bagpipes are very cool… although may counter the effects of the facial treatments.
Skin care such as moisturizers that cost $63 for 0.5 oz or face washes that cost $30 for 5 oz, etc.
I also have a $550 dress in my closet and several others that range from $200-470 each.
The one area where I will spare no expense is dog medical treatments, particularly cancer, which has sadly hit me twice, and brutally each time. I joke a lot about how my new car money keeps becoming old dog money. But it turns out I’m ok driving an older car if it gives me a bit longer with my sweet dogs.
