Post by: BayGBM on September 04, 2016, 04:58:23 AM: two come to mind:

My adjustable base (king sized) bed. Like beds you see in hospitals, it can raise up your legs (for more comfort) your head/shoulder area for eating, reading, or watching TV, it has independent vibrate functions for the head or feet area at different intensities, and it has both electrical outlets and USB ports on either size for use of gadgets while in bed. When I first saw the price (approaching $7k) I balked, but after laying on it a few times, I decided that given the amount of time I spend in bed, I wanted maximum comfort and a good night's sleep was worth it. I still love the bed.

The Richmond Leather Sectional from Ethan Allen. By far, the most comfortable sofa I have ever been on. The moment I sat in it, I knew I wanted it. With extra deep seats you and your favorite bodybuilder (bodybuilding related) can cozy up in it for an evening of Netflix without feeling like there isn't enough room. Add one or two throws and two couples could easily cozy up for cuddling and TV watching. I routinely fall asleep in this sofa; it is more comfortable than my Lay-Z-Boy chair. It can be configured in a variety of ways (materials, firmness of cushions, etc.) It starts at $8k.

Very clever.
Much more worth today if you can speak of worth regarding paper money.
Plus it will keep some worth even when the $ will crash, which it will eventually.

Yes, that's a stock photo, but yep, the parker fly. wood tone. absolutely love it. I have two les pauls that I may never gig with again. the Parker is just so dynamic, so easy to play. It it almost too easy on the fingerboard. my mind does the math, sees the scale, and that guitar just lets me do it effortlessly. I try soloing on an acoustic now and it feels like I'm shoveling snow :)

This was in the late 1980's, when 16mm was still a viable production technique...I was trying to start a production company...You have to remember that 16mm is 25 dollars per minute...No one shoots 16mm anymore...not when electronic cinematography is so available and cheap...
