I'm after a fair bit of cool shit now. We took out a fair chunk of moolah of investment money (money I 'won' in a court case for unlawful dismissal cause of my injury and shit, mainly going to be there to [help] pay for our children's schooling etc. All depends if I'm fit enough to work 'ever again', at least full time, hope to be working part time some time, just need to find a bloody employer wanting to employ injured old me).
So, we're looking at buying a new car soon'ish, I just bought a motorola XOOM, was debating either that or an asus eee tranformer but both have keyboards and stuff, 3.1 update is out for XOOM, it's pretty quick, NFI if it's the 'fastest' android tablet and stuff now but don't care, as long as I'm happy with it, all good. Bought it from USA with priority shipping, hope to get it this week or mon/tue.
Also want to get it HOPEFULLY before Emma gives birth, due date is next week but that means any time from NOW til 1-2 weeks, Cassie was born 1 hour into the due date so it might mean our next *and final!* bub is born on the due date?
Soooooo, I want other cool shit, no idea what. Don't use my phone enough anymore to upgrade from the Nokia X6 I got last year, samsung galaxy is tempting but it's more of a impulse buy so bleh to that, need ideas for cool shit! I was thinking of getting a "greatwall" car when they come to Aus but further reading about the 'new' chinese made cars make the jury still out if it's a good buy or not. The c50 I was looking at LOOKS nice but it may not be good mechanically/engineered, not sure yet, need to see hands on reviews of peeps who have bought them, when they come out of course! Not sure if they are being sold overseas YET due to being more concerned about at home matters, Emma's near birth date and I've joined some (disability) job networks and stuff looking to see if I can get part time computer/server/network stuff, if not, seriously considering doing 'traffic management', holding a speed sign won't be too stressful on my injury and/or chronic pain I have....
But peoples! Tell me (us) what cool shit to buy whilst I still have some money to spend on LOL The investment monies is tied up in yearly maturity accounts so can't touch it (rightly so! I don't wanna spend our child's and our future money now heh) for another 12 months, and cut down disability pension due to the savings means we don't have MUCH disposable income like I'm used to, I remember the good days of spending $1K/week at the pub + clubs every week of the year heh. Oh well, I may return to working income one day! For now, it's yearly interest money gives us moolah once a year to spend 'big', kind of like a tax return but happens in May
Can anyone tell that my [morning] oxycontin dose is kicking in... We're off shopping soon so had my pain meds so I'm not in pain when we shop since the colder weather means my pain increases as I've found out over the past few years. But no huge complaints, I do get oxycontin to equalise the pain, much better than street drug 'fun', at least for me it is

20+ years of street drugs means I've sampled most (all) of the stuff I need to, so there isn't much left to 'surprise' me cept the newer RCs etc. So, I don't mind "jumping" to pharm pain meds which are NEEDED anyway, just the bonus here and there of the *ahem* come on isn't something I don't mind HA
So, COOL SHIT peoples! Tellllllll meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
*edit* Just saw who posted on this page a lot *sheds a tear*
