Great Excuses We have Heard

[minousbijoux]

A friend and colored stone junkie, knowing that a beautiful, precision cut sapphire was waiting at the PO, actually had the audacity to say:

"I really want that [expletive deleted] sapphire; normally I'm not a wuss about it, but my good boots are all packaged up to be sent back to be resoled." And she is complaining because its only blizzard conditions?! Sheesh!

I find myself saying: "I can't buy that $60k Burmese ruby I've had my eye on, because I have to pay for my kids' college, which is overrated anyway."

What's your excuse? The dog ate it?

Can you have them send those blizzard conditions over here to Cali?

Sounds like a bunch of poop to me! Said person needs to tread through the snow, even if she is just in socks and a tank top and get her butt over there!

 

[minousbijoux]

Umm, ladies? Cough up your excuses too, please!

My excuse is that the post office has lost my package and it is delayed and I cannot pick it up.

Butts.

 

[FrekeChild]

My kid is my excuse.

Maryland doesn't seem to recognize the fact that I have, in fact, actually won the lottery.

Ummm....the post office is closed due to the treacherous ice conditions today?

For not picking up a beautiful precision-cut sapphire? There IS NO excuse! Fire, flood, blizzard, sandstorm, car-not-working, flu, broken leg, none should keep any sensible person away from the PO & sapphire. Maaayybe an atomic bomb, but even that is a little wussy.

I blew my budget on another stone/setting. I strictly adhere to my budget, even though it pains me.

There are no excuses - see, e.g.:

At least, in so far as snow is involved - role model for us all

We have an international move to pay for. Though I tried to use that excise recently and still ended up buying! Haha.

I was certainly entertained that these two threads popped up on the same day

In all honesty though, my excuses are the puppies vet bills, medicine,…I love them, so who cares! then surfing (tag on boarding for the puppies)…love it, so who cares! and, for all else, "make it work!"

ROFL - role model indeed! However I think I'd do the same for that ring WOWSA!
