I recently wrote about the list of things people suggest doing to save money, and my reasons for not wanting to do them.
After reading some more of this drivel, I felt it was imperative to add to the list. So I give you, loyal Tame The Bear reader, a few more things I could do to save money, but won’t.
Giving Yourself A Haircut
Call me snobby, I don’t care. I have long, gorgeous dark hair, and I’ll be damned if I’m about to let just anyone at it with a pair of scissors, let alone me. If more than an inch of hair is leaving my head, I’m going to my girl. She’s a “hair architect”. It says so on her card. I think it’s German for “Really expensive but the best haircut you’ll ever get”.
Waxing Any Part Of My Face At Home
Yea yea yea. You can save so much money a year by using hot wax to rip hair out of your face so you can have pretty eyebrows yourself instead of paying someone at a place that also has a “hair architect” on staff. However, I’ve learned that a lot of what you save is soon spent on the cosmetics required to fake having an entire left eyebrow. Don’t look at me like that, waxing isn’t so easy when you’re doing it to yourself.
Getting Rid of the Land Line
I can see the logic behind this. Why pay for something you most likely don’t use?
Let me tell you why I still won’t comply. Because when the zombie apocalypse happens and cellphones are all eventually worthless, I’ll still be able to communicate with people overseas who might just come save me because I had the foresight to keep my land line with long distance on.
Plus, if you have a cellphone that works everywhere, I’d love to hear it. Mine only works every alternate Tuesday, and that’s only if I’m hanging off of my balcony.
You can go ahead and call me stubborn for refusing to give up certain things I’ve grown accustom to. I’ll be sure to laugh at you next time I’m sitting in my “hair architect’s” chair.

ConMan is well trained.
BAD PUZZY.
Pft. ConMan knows it’s best to ignore the endless comedic opportunities afforded by a thread containing both “eating out” and Clare.
Yeah, in order to save money I cut back on eating out.
<..>
Puzzy knows double entendre opportunities when he sees it.
Not true.
This particular one I’ve had for less than a year.
I dont see why you’d be worried abou that now. You haven’t thrown that phone yet and you’ve had it for like 8 years… =P
Eat me I refuse to spend money on something I will most likely throw the next time I get pissed off.
Buy a new cell phone. Maybe one with a camera. You know, one made within the last 5 years? One that isn’t connected to a suitcase battery? One that wasn’t featured by Zack Morris at Bayside high?
I like it.
Youre the best puzzy.
