I told my husband about all the women who were buying cars, and I said maybe I should buy a sports car. He looked puzzled and said but you don't need a car. I said "need" and "want" are 2 different things!

Then later that evening I said I was thinking of buying a PDA, because I've just been using a kitchen wall calendar, and I can't bring it with me when I'm scheduling all my doctor's appts!

He said, sure, you should buy one. So Ladies, just tell your SO that you're thinking of buying a car...then later you can bring up what you really want to buy, and they'll be so relieved at the lesser item they'll agree to it! I guess this only works if what you want costs less than a car :-)

p.s. I think I'm just going to go with the old-fashioned appointment book
