Don't Buy Nice Stuff: A Story of Personal Loss

You Won't Love Her Like I Love Her








  1. Buddhists have much to say about love vs. attachment. When you are attached to something your main concern is yourself...what can you get out of the relationship. You did not love your material objects or your main concern would have been their happiness. They may be happier having been pawned. Glad you have come to your senses and moved on.

  3. Losing your streaming video is one thing, but losing your steaming video, who can endure? By the way, it's good to have the tight fist back in action!

  4. You're like a modern Epictetus. Instead of a iron lamp, you had a MacBook Pro.

  5. What is the tightfist mantra about backing up data on the cloud?
    Sorry to hear about your shortlived experiment with hip and trendy.

  6. Stein, that's a tragedy. You threw a hanging curve, and some goniff knocked it out of the park. :(
    Now I'm nervous, sitting here, typing on my new laptop. ($350 Dell Mini 10 - turned into a "hackintosh" netbook running 10.6.2) I'll try to stay detached. It's just... so... shiny...

  7. Sorry about your place Stein. Glad to see you have moved beyond the world of Macs. If you want go even cheaper (and better) DIY your computer next time.

  8. i also love my laptop and my mp3-player but i never use my laptop in public and i always hide it when i leave house. i also have some saved money in case it gets stolen. but i think hiding your nice stuff is better than replacing it later.
