A Fire, 2 dogs and the H bags

I was presented this scenario - if there was a huge fire, which would I save first? The dogs or the H-bags?

My answer - train the dogs to pick up the H bags and escape. If at all Holly can even be trained.....

C's answer - put the dogs in the H bags and run out. (When there is a fire, your strength and determination increases, thus die die also will carry both dogs and bags).

Veron's answer - save the bags. The dogs will run out by themselves anyway.....

well. Except for Holly. Who will just stare at us blankly as she holds on to the H bags (if she even has the brains to pick them up in the first place), while fire rages around us.

The next day's newspaper headlines: "Dog dies in fire while protecting owner's H bags".

As Veron rightly put it, outsiders will applaud dog's bravery and loyalty. Insiders will know she died from pure stupidity.

In celebration of Sisterhood

Uh huh. One for me, one for Veron and one for DD.

Taxes

Taxes from the taxman can be quite illuminating. It puts things in perspective like, how many Tods bags and shoes in taxes I have to pay the taxman each year. So what the heck, since I've to contribute the equivalent of several luxury items to Mr. Govt, might as well I indulge a little myself.

So there.

How to get a Birkin

This seems to be a favourite question in the Hermes forum - how to get that (supposedly) elusive Birkin. Notable credit has to be given to a certain member who proudly declared one can get birkin easily from Paris, for Eur 5090 nett VAT. Of course it helps when one's FIRST CLASS flight is FREE, courtesy of miles redemption.

Our answer to that statement? Read below:

Ans #1.
"Wah, only Eur 5,090 for a Birkin? What a CHEAP bag!".

Ans #2.
"You mean you actually had to PAY for a Birkin? I didn't know that. I inherited both my Birkins. So it's FREE. Thought everyone here would have inherited theirs".

Ans #3.
"I inherited my Birkins. So it's FREE, and I didn't have to redeem any miles for that".

Ans #4.
"My friend has willed me their birkins. So when I die, I'm gonna have my ashes placed a bit here and there in each bag".

Death and Taxes

and so I thought after the staggering injury by the Kelly, I could finally start anew.

Until I received my income tax bill, that is.

Big sigh. Feel like a frog trying to jump out from the bottom of the well.

And there I was working to hard to save and scrimp on lunch spends, coffee expenses, and even my proudest moment ...no indulgence at all this GSS (no, not even a single Tod's anything).

Taxman has no mercy.

Veron's solution to my Circular Reference dilemma below? Answer - buy over my neighbour's flat.

Hmm. 2 HDB, is that possible?
