What have you bought lately?

If there's something on your mind that just doesn't seem to fall into any of the other categories, well, it quite likely belongs inside Joe Finneman's marketplace. Think of it as a general store for general discussions!

Which would you rather have for FREE?

Thanks to my Secret Santa for the set!

She left many of us behind. She left us heartbroken. And though we cry now there'll come a time when we'll laugh. Because we'll see her again someday. We'll be with her in heaven. And when we go to heaven she'll be there to greet us. She'll be there to say "Welcome home." -From a poem that SnC wrote about her grandmother

The last thing I bought was a Dr. Pepper at Panera's while I was discussing a lesson with another fellow Bible study leader. I love that shop. :inlove:

Would you believe? I've never (to my knowledge) set foot in a Panera's before. :anxious: I know they have great bread though. A guy I know always manages to get their day-old stuff for free, and he's given some to us before. :inlove: (uh-oh... does that make me sound low-class? Or is day-old bread acceptable to society?) ;)

I've never even heard of Panera's before :anxious: No, day old bread doesn't sound low class to me \:D/

I've never been to Panera either but our church gets their day-old bread, cookies, pasties etc. every Sunday. It's pretty nice, to have free cookies for breakfast! :anxious:

I can't think of anything. Well, I went out to eat and got a Wendy's baconator (they rock), Coke (lol it's actually diet coke.) and some fries.

:highfive: YES! Pens are awesome.

My favorites are Sharpie Pens and V2 rollerballs. If you've never used a Sharpie Pen, you have no idea what writing experience you're missing. They are amazing. :)

I bought some clothes online from Ricki's today. I like shopping online...a little too much sometimes. ;) You can get some good deals online, though, without the hassle of having to go to the store. I found two nice sweaters on good sales, which made me happy. I'm always cold, so I love sweaters! As long as you're shopping at a store with a good return policy, online shopping is good. :yes:

Lee, your life is incomplete. :mecry:

I just started going last year when I had to meet with other leaders. ;)

Yes! As does our church, and the one where we do a youth program. It's really awesome Panera's will allow that :D I'll walk in to Panera's and think, what am I suppose to do now? Everything's fresh. :P

I know. :( And now there's no Panera's where we live.

Are you meaning your youth program gets their day-old stuff too?

Well you know that our church is really small, so we also do activities with another church, and they also have it. :yes:

Maybe I'm just too paranoid, but I keep thinking that the things online would end up arriving looking completely different than in the catalog... ;) Is that the case?

Anyways, purchases. Uh, I bought a Macbook Air yesterday after selling my older, white Macbook on Craigslist. So I didn't end up shelling out too much for it, which was nice. And, as excessively girly as this sounds, I love that my computer now fits in my handbag and I don't have to carry an extra laptop bag around. :D

As for the poll hypothetical, I may be over-analyzing this, but I would take the $25,000. Why? Because I could use some of the cash to buy the Odyssey items. The car would also be a bad call, because a new, $30k car will immediately depreciate in value about $10k when you drive it off the lot, and attempting to trade it back in to the dealer for cash would probably net less than $25k.

Finally, a private, cash gift of $25k is sort of untraceable, whereas the IRS would definitely find out if someone gave me a $30k car. ;)
