That got me thinking. There are a lot of things I like but rarely buy. I love the New York Times but rarely get it. Still, I like reading a REAL newspaper. As in spreading it out on the kitchen table or reading it in my office. I don't like reading papers on a computer monitor.
As a child I always loved buying comic books. They really were only 12 cents in those days. Today I own one Jetsons comic book which I have displayed on a shelf. I might go on eBay and buy another one - or three.
Every spring I buy a couple of magazines that deal with the upcoming baseball season. And every fall I buy a few magazines that give a preview of college football.
The next time I am in a grocery store or a convenience store, I just might splurge and buy one of these.
You only live once. If you do things in moderation, it is nice to make life a bit more fun with ... something fun.
Thanks for stopping by.

I had a Hershey's Special Dark yesterday. Chocolate was invented by God and sent to us by the angels. :-)
I had some See's chocolate from California as a reward for weight loss a W.W. U t doesn't get any better than that.
I like Lindt chocolate too, though I cannot have it for heatlh reasons.
After years of wanting the NYTimes, this past fall I stopped renewing 2 local newspapers, 5 magazines, and gave up 1 premium cable channel and subscribed to home delivery for the Times. I love reading it every morning. It does take time and if I weren't semi-retired, I'd not pay for it.
Splurge. There is not reason to not spend money on things you really enjoy, if you can.
MNoderation is the key!! So some wise one said--more than once.
I think as one moves along in life one is entitled to a few splurges.
I just love to drive and so I have to buy gas at an inflated price to go one a little roadtrip. But I enjoy myself. MB
