<p>Thanks! I bought it at Anthropologie off the clearance rack. It’s been retired there, but you can find it on e Bay pretty easily at a good discount.</p>
<p>An ipad. I’ve been waiting patiently for the ipad 2 to come out. I learned a long time ago to never buy the 1st generation of any technology. The ipad 2 is suppose to be released this April. Yea! Like Barrons - I don’t really need one but just want it. :)</p>
<p>Adding texting to my cell phone plan. But right now D1 calls me almost every day from college. I don’t want to give up chats for texts, and I am afraid that is what will happen if I add it…</p>
<p>Nothing wrong with Ipad 1. ;)</p>
<p>I believe ,if you can afford it without incurring debt,why wait…life is way too short</p>
<p>Just a thought–you can often add just text messaging to one line at a minimal fee or just a nominal per text charge. I would not want to trade texting for talking either! I have each of my kids with an inexpensive text plan (250 messages @ $5 for S & 500 messages @ $10 for D). I had unlimited texts with a prior phone plan & didn’t use it all that much–was overrated for me. Now I just pay $.10/text or it’s included as part of my 1500 minutes or texts/month @ $30 from TMobile pre-paid plan.</p>
<p>A Hot Tub. To go out on the side of the pool deck. I love my pool but I HATE to be cold. At all. I’d love to be able to hop into the hot tub and warm up my old bones any old time.</p>
<p>As much as I hate to be cold, H hates to be hot, so it’s been a hard sell so far.</p>
<p>Gee, you guys are tempting. Maybe I’ll get an Ipad before we go on our next trip. It seems like something that could be handy on the airplane/hotel/car drive. Hmmm, maybe people will sell off their existing ipads when the ipad2s come out & you can score a great deal.</p>
<p>I also wanted a certain watch - for 3 years. Couldn’t bring myself to buy it for myself. H finally bought it for me for Christmas. He won’t be sorry - when I have a “nice” watch I wear it every day for years and years till the band turns nasty and even then I do the nail polish trick and wear it a few more years.</p>
<p>My new 1 item I’d love to have - an iPod Touch. I don’t even have an iPod non-touch or any other kind. I have tons of music I’d like to have on a music player that’s portable, but would also like acces to radio stations. I don’t think the iPod Touch gets radio?</p>
<p>A lot of your “cheaper” MP3 players have the FM receiver built into them. I’ve had a couple that have. I currently have a Sony Walkman I’m pretty sure is its name. It’s an 8GB that was $90 last summer I think…</p>
<p>ipod touch can use the “I HEART RADIO” app. Many of my favorite stations are on it. And there is AOL radio app and Pandora. I have an iphone with very few tunes loaded but all three apps for listening during my gym time.</p>
<p>This:</p>
<p>[bag</a> that costs as much as a tropical vacation for 2.](<a href=“http://www.gucci.com/us/styles/263954ANG0G9907#]bag”>http://www.gucci.com/us/styles/263954ANG0G9907#)</p>
<p>Not in this lifetime. It costs as much as a typical HI vacation for the two of us. :eek: But my iPhone screen is covered with drool. :)</p>
<p>Pergo wood flooring for my house</p>
<p>This is interesting! Many of us have “itches” that are not so unrealistic.</p>
<p>On the other hand, some are!!! :)</p>
<p>abasket…get the Kindle! (or Nook, but I am partial to Amazon and Kindle…) I, too, hemmed and hawed for a year at least. H finally got tired of my indecision and surprised me at Christmas. I. Love. It. The downside is, it is a time sink. Tired of reading? No problem, how about a word game. Or Sudoku. Or check FB. Or CC… Get my drift? I’ve had to consciously limit my time on the darn thing because I was getting nothing done around the house! Go for it…you won’t be sorry!</p>
<p>I’m bad… whenever I have an “itch” I scratch it and buy… haha</p>
<p>Last year I was ‘itching’ for a new blu ray player for my living room. I went to the store, found the one I wanted. Decided that old blu ray player would be relocated to my bedroom. Decided what’s the sense of having a blu ray player on an old box tv so I came home with a new TV for the bedroom as well, lol. My BF came over and just shook his head when he saw all the boxes in my living room.</p>
<p>Two things for me, but neither one is likely to happen soon. sigh.
- a new dinette set. The one we have is worn out and the chairs are the cheapo banquet type chairs from Costco.
- A new sewing machine to replace my 40+ year old singer. I would love to be able to not fuss with the tension every time I sew!</p>
<p>But it’s good to dream!</p>
<p>OK, maybe I’ll think about the ipod touch as well instead of the ipad. Sometimes I think we can drown in gadgets, so I’ll keep resisting awhile.</p>
<p>I’m very fortunate - there’s really no ‘thing’ that I’m itching to get. I spend more money getting other people things than myself. Sometimes I think I already have too many things.</p>
<p>I did, however, finally order myself a Kindle (after already having purchased one previosuly for someone else). I read a lot and want the convenience of being able to instantly get a new book rather than ordering one through Amazon and waiting for it or having to go to a store for one (bookstores are getting further and further between nowadays as they keep going out of business). I also like the idea of not having to carry multiple books on a trip. I hope I like it okay once it arrives.</p>
<p>Ooohhh…</p>
<p>1) Yard service. The guys aren’t home, DH won’t do it (native NYer; believes we should pave it all), I don’t have the strength to do the heavy stuff, much less the tree trimming, etc. that desperately needs to take place. I can do the flowers and shrubs, but having someone to do the heavy landscaping and maintenance on a regular basis would be heaven. </p>
<p>2) Handyman for a week to do similar projects indoors.</p>
<p>3) King size bed. No room in a queen for DH, me AND the dog.</p>
<p>4) Sofa futon in S1’s room, which doubles as my craft room when he’s gone. Would buy me a lot more useful space.</p>
<p>Suspect #3 will happen first, as DH has a vested interest! :)</p>
<p>Oh yeah I forgot- I want a shed/office/hidey place.</p>
