Am I the only one,

[Amby 490]

well I'm not coming if they aren't because it would be way more entertaining to watch you all bicker than sit around by myself

Forget them, Amby - we're going to a place they can't afford anyway.

oh yeah I forgot about that. bye poor people

Woohoo! Azzholes unite!

I'm not an azzhole but I come from a family of massive ones

350 for a wallet.... you guyz are crazy....

(i feel bad just getting one that cost 30$!... and my max would be around a 100$ one!)

And this is whatever i am earning !

It would be funny to compare what we would consider as average for certain items...

let me start... (various i am thinking about...add yours as you wish too)

wallet : 30$

new computer (screen and windows include) : 3000 $

vacuum cleaner : 200$

A good pair of shoes : 80/100 $ (need to be very good at that price)

A trip to the hairdresser : 250 $ (cut, colors with highlight, brushing)

A pants : 30 to 80$ depending on quality

A bikini wax : 50$

what is yours !

Looks like I came a little late on this topic -- but wanted to say that I've heard it a few times from acquitances. But another common comment I heard was: "Have you seen "Not Without My Daughter"?" *sighs* Anyone heard this comment?

When I went to Jordan, my parents also made me call often, they would have liked it if I called every hour. Too much feeding off from the media or mass emails (kidnapped and chopped up into pieces, etc etc)

But I also notice that even the beneficiaries are getting "negative comments" too -- fiance has told me how some people are saying "she is just using you" (huh?! ) Also, hearing comments about how dangerous America really is.

It's all about the media coverage, that's all I can say.

To listen to my FIL, you would swear there was civil war sometimes.

Eyebrow Threading: $15 (includes tip)

Lunch: $10

OMG,I've heard this comment a few times along with other ignorant ones.

Sorry it took me so long to respond guys, I was out spending a gross amount of money on luxury items for the soul purpose of showing my superiority to my peers and bask in their envy.

no, but, actually, the more you talk, the more I find that I AM envious of you... I mean, who wouldn't be?

I was going to respond, but that really hit the nail on the head!

I think we should all move in with him. That would be lots of fun!

My apartment is too small for all of you. Maybe next year.

It's a shame you can't afford anything more fitting.

Oh my... i got that one... and some others about being sold into slavery in Morocco!!

It was crazy for a while.

Hey, all this money talk has made me sad... i agree with you guys, that a lot of people are making bank in Manhattan... but i'm not... i'm the worst. i'm like stretching a penny into a dollar the worst.

Well, at least no one can say that Habibi is marrying me for my money.

[w¡n9Nµ7 §£@¥€r 123]

I wish my wife married me for my money.

It would mean I had a lot!

[Trompe le Monde 1,107]

I married my husband for his hot body

I'm still working - so images are still off. I'll respond to all image based posts later. If I still remember and/or care.
