My wife wants a new set of dining room chairs

My wife wants a new set of dining room chairs. She says our old chairs are not good because if she leans back in the chair her clavicle falls through the openings at the back of the chair. She doesn’t know that her clavicle is in the front of her body. That really wouldn’t matter to her anyway, and if I told her where her clavicle is she would say that when she falls through the chair her whole body falls backwards and so her whole clavicle falls through the chair and that is why we need new chairs.
Isn’t that the way it is? We want something so we think up a reason to justify our want. I want to play golf with the guys. Of course that isn’t what I say. I say I want to get out in the sunshine and admire the beauty of the golf course. God created mountains and sea to admire and behold. Arnold Palmer made golf courses to admire and behold. God’s magnificence is free, Arnold charges.
Everyone agrees that beauty comes from within. A smile is worth a thousand words. Clichés yet true until we look in the mirror. My wife says she likes my protruding belly. I sure don’t. Short is a huge advantage because short people try harder and probably we are smarter. I never feel that way when I am sitting behind a tall person at a concert or when I used to play my version of basketball. Bald is beautiful. Guys with lots of hair waste so much time grooming. This works until I look at the pictures of the past presidents of the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery and I am the only one with the reflection off my head.
Look, it is good that we like what we like and want what we want. I think perspective is what counts and priorities must be set. It is appropriate to want a youthful face. Cosmetic surgery is a blessing. Then don’t lie in the sun and argue you look better when you are dark. Liposculpture is a huge promoter of self esteem. Then don’t tell me that your biweekly tennis game is exercise and the weight you have gained is muscle. Enjoy who you are and take care of the blessings you have.
I am still figuring out how to convince my wife it is good that her clavicle falls through our dining room chairs.

Hopefully women and men are getting very much more education regarding plastic surgery procedures,reading, going on more than one consult and talking to patients that have had work done by the Dr. they choose.
What upsets me is a scan is a scam. It is so hard now to get actual plastic surgery without the temptation of using fillers and botox and ending up having short term fixes for long term problems that are unaffordable for
us in these times. Why are Drs. not
trying to help people in this economy w/o having them take out loans with these companies they work with that cost you a FORTUNE in INTEREST? Start taking the economy and the plight of ageism having people being laid off and adjust your fees so you make your profit but, make it in ways that are affordable. Everyone who wants to be should be able to afford a fresh funtioning face. Drs. can help people not take extreme deals just to keep working.Wasting money on over priced fees like great furnished offices and huge staffs according to the times we live in could be a start. Yes we can educate ourselves bot give us good affordable choices?
Get her the chairs Dr. Some chairs are 2400.00 a piece. No one sees them once you sit down but like all things we do to make us feel good it costs:)It makes her happy...Happy golfing.
