PLFXpert 0 #1 March 11, 2008 Which store would it be and why? Yes, I know this thread is silly and pure fantasy, but I admit I like making wishlists to stores I might never afford or otherwise shop in for various reasons. I am in love with The Artful Home. Be sure to check out my two favorite artists: Vincent Leman and David Coddaire For me the "why" is because I LOVE art--particularly useable (functional) art.

guppie01 0 #5 March 11, 2008 Depends on the amount of money... Unlimited - Home Depot or Lowes (new kitchen, bathroom, windows, patio, hot tub, a/c & heater unit) 1-5 k - Macy's or Ann Taylor g "Let's do something romantic this Saturday... how bout we bust out the restraints?"

PLFXpert 0 #7 March 11, 2008 This REI? My problem is finding the time (and inevitably spreading myself thin) to do all the outdoor activities I love. We have a garage full of bicycles (several kinds depending on whether we're going off trail, on the beach, or around town), surfboards, skateboards, tents, portable chairs, coolers, ping-pong table, kayak, motorcycle and probably a lot of other things of which I use each maybe once/month. I'm not a big "camper", though, unless I'm actually in a camper. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skybytch 259 #13 March 11, 2008 Quote I dream often of being covered head to toe in gore windstopper fleece I dream of waking up miles from a road, toasty warm in a sub-2 pound down sleeping bag, super comfy on a sub-1 pound air mattress, and then having my hiking partner unzip the sub-5 pound tent to give me a steaming cup of coffee. I used to be obsessed with skydiving equipment. That obsession seems to have transferred itself to backpacking equipment. It's only a lack of money that keeps the obsession from turning into a compulsion. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PLFXpert 0 #14 March 11, 2008 Quote I dream often of being covered head to toe in gore windstopper fleece See and I prefer thin-as-hell, soft & worn-in vintage wear. I am proud to say I have many original pieces I've had for years. I'm talking jeans with authentic holes in them, baby--not the kind you pay to have that way. But, I do have six of those T's I linked to. I didn't buy them there, though--too expensive. I live in Florida--not much of a need for jackets. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

Shotgun 1 #15 March 11, 2008 Quote Let's say $50k. Well I guess that leaves out my original thought of YachtWorld, since $50K wouldn't go too far there. So I think I'll agree with either REI or Lowe's/Home Depot, though I'd probably have more fun going bananas in REI. I love everything in World Market too, but I doubt that I could find $50K worth of stuff to buy from there. Hmm, or maybe I could if I tried hard enough.

BillyVance 34 #16 March 11, 2008 I'd go with Home Depot, as I have plenty of projects to do at home. If it was only $300 to $500, I'd spend it at a store that had all the world's best gourmet beers...

Sebazz1 2 #18 March 11, 2008 I was huge into outdoor gear (clothes, tents, water filters, shoes, packs, camping stoves misc. outdoor gear) before I started jumping and I still have most of my gear. I worked at a North face outlet for 1 year just before I started jumping. I keep all my old gear in pretty good shape and I pick up new items occasionally. Red Dawn had a huge affect on me growing up and I see myself living in the wild fighting Russians or Canadians some day Can never be too prepared I love watching water droplets unable to pierce my outer gore layer as I sit completely dry, body breathing, yet the skies are spitting wind and rain at me to no avail... I think my 3 hole punch just got jealous! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PLFXpert 0 #20 March 11, 2008 We have a lot in common, actually. I, too, believe in preserving "my stuff". I don't buy a lot or often, but when I do I buy quality and I take care of it even when I use it all the time--I take the five minutes or whatever to clean it off and store it properly when I'm done so it lasts & lasts. And my bag (my purse) is like my own "fighting Russians" kit. You name it, I have it in travel-size in my bag--which is not oversized and very chic. And Billy has a jacket JUST as you described. I LOVE it. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I always see all the baskets in there and think what the hell do people do with baskets??? Oh, and BTW, you were in one of my dreams last night.

PLFXpert 0 #25 March 11, 2008 Quote Oh, and BTW, you were in one of my dreams last night. I have that effect on people. Quote I always see all the baskets in there and think what the hell do people do with baskets??? OMGosh! Baskets rock! I use them for everything. In our master bath, rather than a medicine cabinet, we keep everything underneath the sinks in the cabinets in matching baskets. I keep all my cleaning stuff under the kitchen sink in matching baskets. I like to have an extra face wash, shampoo, soap, toothpaste, whatever so I never "run out" and I keep the spares in a basket in the guest bathroom closet. And I do the same with office supplies as I have a massive home office with lots of cabinets, and I keep my stuff organized in the drawers, cubby holes and cabinets in matching baskets. I fucking love baskets. (Edit: These baskets were gifts, though. When I buy gifts for other people, I like to put them in a basket--which I usually get at World Market.
