Re:What ITEMS have you been buying?
I saw Tiny Tim's ukulele in a museum this year - but I was into the ukulele before that. Tiny Tim's uke is a freaking Catholic relic in terms of the decals, it was an experience.
I'm going to get one of those hard wood ukes, I know a place that can give you a good price on a quality one. It's not a back alley.

I bought a house on Wednesday, and kind of got common-law married at the same time. No internet hookup at the house, yet. I'm in a Starbucks right now.
Anyway, I'm winning this thread so you folks had better step up your game.
Congratulations!

Herbs predominantly but some nice stuff i had been planning to purchase this winter for the 2011 growing season!
Don't know when the hel I will be using chervil but it sounds fancy-schmancy!
Do I loose all masculinity by saying I am excited about my camomile?

I took my family to a movie and circumstances conspired against us and we had to go to a different cinema from our normal one so we reluctantly went to one in a shopping mall instead (I hate shopping malls, but it is nothing compared to my hatred of strip malls which should be banned worldwide). We were a bit early we bought afternoon tea, and there was a point when my wife and the kids all went to the toilet and I just looked around at the other people in the food court. Everyone was fat, there was no interaction between people, or with the space, the people were just there to consume, and I could feel the life being sucked out of me just by being there. It was an experience I will do my best to avoid for quite a while.

The Spawn decided she wanted decorate our "yard" as a cemetery for Halloween. We have a "city yard" which, if you don't know, is just a tiny bit of fenced ground between our porch and and the sidewalk. With the fake tombstones it actually passes quite well for a small family burial plot. I'm risking the weather holding fair until the end of the month, and not cutting back the rose bushes for winter until after Halloween, as the dead looking thorny mess adds a nice spooky touch.

You sound sad.I bought a house on Wednesday, and kind of got common-law married at the same time. No internet hookup at the house, yet. I'm in a Starbucks right now.

in what country do you get common-law married when you buy a house together? In Canada, you gotta be living with someone for a year, in the States, I thought it was seven.
Well, that's why I said "kind of." There's no such thing as common-law marriage in Canada, as far as I know. Common-law relationships are recognized*, but they aren't quite marriage. For example, no formal divorce is required to dissolve a common-law relationship.
Neither of us intends to move, though, so we're stuck with each other. And we're both named on the title deed, so our property is shared. We're already starting to forget who paid for which games.
So, you're right. I shouldn't have said "common-law married," because the "kind of" qualifier didn't soften the meaning as much as I had meant it to. Nonetheless, I've made a happy and serious commitment that would be expensive and difficult to break. Call it what you like; it wasn't my intention to mislead. I'm still winning this thread, though.
* Also, common-law relationships in Ontario require 3 years of continuous co-habitation (or the birth of a child).
EDIT: sorry for making this thread super-boring.

You're not winning because your scenario sounds like an arranged marriage. Oh well, it served civilization quite well until about 100 years ago.I'm still winning this thread, though.

Interesting.
Only about a dozen states in the US recognize common law marriage. In my state you would be considered domestic partners. The primary distinction is that your domestic partner isn't legally considered next of kin, so domestic partners really need to have wills, name each other as beneficiary on anything that has a beneficiary, and need to give each other power of attorney, otherwise things can get really nasty between a domestic partner and the legally recognized next of kin.

We think we may have to keep him inside permanently which we would rather not do as it will involve some major adjustments to the way we live our life, but he can't keep on having surgeries to remove abscesses every few weeks.
