John, If it’s a new toy you want you don’t have to worry about what you will learn from it. You will only put yourself under undue stress if you look at it that way and happen to not learn anything. Heaven knows we got enough stress already. Just buy it and don’t try to justify it. If your not married you can do what you want. If your married and the little lady says anything open her closet and show her her footwear. Just ask the question why so many of them looks so new. Be sure to bring your calculator and divide the pairs into the days of the month push the button and get the pairs per day answer. That answer will come out reading, well, I just wanted them.

That method will work well on clothes and many other things. Just be sure to pick any one of her weaknesses. One last piece of advise. Never, never let lust put you into bondage by putting yourself into debt. Always make sure you have enough money to buy another toy in case that one did not do the trick.

And John, just in case self control gets out of control, remember, there are food stamps and medicaid instead of medicare. If married and she leaves, the cost of living will shrink by seventy five percent per the last published statistics.

With that bit of musing and humor I will go and see what Ruthie's’ got going for supper. Have fun john and will see ya’ll later.
