SHP Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 A potato shaped tureen with potato shaped bowls from some decade between 1940-1980. Probably has lead. Would be a bugger to store. But perfect for potato soup! https://www.etsy.com/listing/829309529/soup-tureen-potato-themed-oblong-holland?gpla=1&gao=1&&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=shopping_us_a-home_and_living-kitchen_and_dining-dining_and_serving-bowls&utm_custom1=_k_EAIaIQobChMI4f3xo7rZggMVTlhHAR3InQl-EAQYASABEgLZEvD_BwE_k_&utm_content=go_12574416432_120844864738_507798976716_pla-307841174116_m__829309529_341569299&utm_custom2=12574416432&gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI4f3xo7rZggMVTlhHAR3InQl-EAQYASABEgLZEvD_BwE 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KungFuPanda Posted November 24, 2023 Share Posted November 24, 2023 A robot vacuum. I don’t think I can resist temptation much longer. I don’t even have kids or pets.

That is a need. 🙂 It is less expensive than therapy, but equally effective at boosting your mood. 5 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not an actual wife, she is straight and married to a wonderful man, but she has a professional house manager who takes care of everything for her. Of course works a bajillion hours and makes a ton of money, but still, it’s nice. I could use one of those. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My little 2017 Subaru Forester was doing great as long as I was the only one driving it. But since dh retired and his wreck of a car has all but stopped running, he's been driving 'my' car more. And ds drives it, too. I want my OWN new Subaru Forester that nobody drives but me. ❤️ my Forester! 2011 with 150K miles on it. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every homeschool Pinterest I see has it and there is a small area of my brain that thinks I'll be that much better of a teacher if I had a rolling cart. I used them all the time in the 90s and early 2000s when I was working but they seem to have fallen out of vogue and I was the only educator here who used one. Now I just have a shoulder bag, partly because it is a pain to use those things with stairs, but also because I was tired of the comments....."Wow, you have a lot of stuff." (I didn't), and "What all do you put in there?" etc...... Not to mention that every time I went to a meeting or anything, it was a pain to fit through the sea of chairs/tables, etc.... If you were closer I would give you mine. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BusyMom5 Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 New furniture and decor. I've wanted s new rug for years, but can never decide on one. My couch and chair need replaced or recovered.

ScoutTN Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 (edited) My car detailed. A week off just to catch up on administrative chores like filing, sorting photos, and reorganizing books. A good blender for smoothies. A window in my kitchen. Yeah, that WTM beach trip! I haven’t seen the ocean in over three years.

Oh, I can be specific. A warm beach with fine, white sand! Ocean that is all shades of turquoise with no icky red seaweed. A place to stay where I can see and hear the ocean, where I do not have to cook (unless I want to) or clean. Warm sun, a stack of books, good company and conversation for the not-reading-books times. A hammock. Fresh seafood, plenty of sleep, board games and movies for rainy days, and no schedule. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just bundle up. One of my favorite spots in November… the monarchs are migrating. It’s magical. And in winter the skies are clear in this area with very little light pollution, so we bundle up at night and watch for shooting stars. Haven’t been there in years, but good memories—no matter the season. So as long as it's not Alaska or Antarctica, I'm game. I mean...I definitely prefer water warm enough to swim, but I am grateful for the salty air and scenery, too. 🙂 Edited November 26, 2023 by popmom 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have one older one that we use upstairs. Two of the newer mop vacs on our main level. And another older one for the basement rooms. We recently had to replace the batteries on the older ones, but they work fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carrie12345 Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 A pool. I absolutely don’t need one. We pay $25/yr for the whole family for our small community’s very nice pool. Plus we only get a few months of swim weather, and most of our property stays cool. But dd and I want a little above ground pool, deep enough to just float around for 20 minutes or so whenever we feel like without the need to pack up and drive over. I almost bought one this summer, but I chickened out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eos Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 A hot tub. On a deck. With a pergola. And grape vines. And climbing roses. A new wood floor. With no cracks between the boards.
