Things I'm not buying

[Granny B.]

While I do consider my dog a member of the family, I have to draw the line somewhere.
Matching bathrobes for you and your pet:


Here's another:

Nope! No face bib for me. I'll take my chances.
Show us what you're not buying.

Although I love mermaids, I will not be buying this mermaid blanket.

 

[RadishRose]

Not

 

[horseless carriage]

Ladies,these will save your shoes from inclement weather.

 

[Tish]

Baby floor polishing suit

 

[Granny B.]

These look tricky to use!

 

[PamfromTx]

A pet massager.

On the same note, but no batteries, I hope my cat doesn't feel deprived not having one of these. Apparently they come in a couple of different styles:

 

[Judycat]

I could go for the baby floor polisher.

 

[Pink Biz]

Su-NO!!

 

[officerripley]

The latest book (whatever it might be) on how to make friends and be less lonely; waste of time and money.

 

[Tish]

No way, I just know I would get it mixed up with a glue stick.

 

[Granny B.]

Well, if the shoe umbrellas were not for you, maybe you'll like these better:

 

[Granny B.]

These might be handy for some things...maybe for a 4 yr old. I can't even sit like this anymore!
Plastic pants dining table:

 

[RadishRose]

noodles too hot?

 

[Kaila]

Baby floor polishing suit

Now, that one looks well worth any price!
And might come bundled, to reduce the overall costs.

 

[Granny B.]

Obesity soap...burns fat as you wash?? OUCH!

With you on that. While i suppose there's a market for it, doesn't interest me a bit.

I know, right? I've read tons of those books and it always seems to be: "To cure loneliness, make sure you have plenty of meaningful social connections and how to have social connections is to have good friends and how to make good friends is to have lots of social connections and..." No help there.

For me the basic premise that everyone is lonely if they're socially busy all the time and don't have a lot of friends is flawed. I value my solitude highly.

I had to post this after looking at the "Show your couch" thread. I'm not necessarily implying anything bad about this couch, in fact I kind of like it...maybe. I'm just saying I can say with certainty, I'm not buying one, ever. Might look good somewhere, maybe in a wildlife museum or some such.

Life-size Hippo Couch:

My first reaction was, "Oh, how cool!" But then I started thinking about what a hazard this could be in an emergency when you had to get out quick.

To me, a second issue would not be how difficult it would be to pull the thing out of the labyrinth (and you're right, @Granny B., about emergencies) — but consider how strong the chain might not be.

I don't need one of these since I had enough of them when I was in school and taught by nuns. Of course, they had a yardstick and not boxing gloves.
