A ticket to sit for the state bar exam.  $725.
I guess that's to cover the photocopying fees given the stack of paper you've got. :P

The very extensive background check  :viking:

We could have vouched for you for $500.

Cool! Which one?

The Samsung Tab S 10.5. Pretty damned nice.

Not bad at all. We use a proprietary version of those at work everyday.
Our store has eight of them; one for each department. Mostly to "compare shop" our competitors in the presence of customers and keep tabs on up to the minute inventory status of hot items. Idiots do not appreciate them. I often find them sitting in the departments with low batteries, because workers just leave at night without putting them back on the charge, PREPARING THEM FOR THE NEXT SHIFT!!  Idiots.

My department's use is generally revolving around my being "required" to take pics of my displays after I complete them "ON TIME."  The task is tied to our getting back end funds from the various vendor studios (Universal, Sony, Warner, Paramount, RCA, Capital, etc.) with whom we enter into contracts. They take decent pics for such a device.

I only wish I was allowed to upgrade mine to include aps which can be used to keep track of release dates and scheduled delivery of HOT upcoming new release media. I have to do that on my own cellphone. It would be better on the tablet.

The end result of life's daily pain and suffering, trials and failures, tears and laughter, readings and listenings is an accumulation of wisdom in its purest form.

I've never bought a lottery ticket. I don't even know how. I wouldn't know what to ask for :laugh:

I have bought one once. My mum directed me in what to ask for. But now I forget.

I don't play that much and just get the ones where the computer picks the number so all you have to do is ask for a quick pic of the type you want.  I won $4 double the cost of the ticket on the one I got yesterday

Food, chocolate, reine claude syrup.

And clothes for the oldest. We had a shopping afternoon. :viking: She also fitted a pair of Dr Martens, and at home we ordered a different pair, one size up, same model, very different colour-way. I think she is as good as set for winter now. We took refuge in a book-store and during some detour walks, avoiding people.

Time to plan an afternoon like that with the youngest. 

Maybe even the bovine herself needs to do some shopping for clothes.  :GA:

Some organic frozen meals marked down to $1.  Cheap meals for a few days.

A water cooler. It is a step down from an air conditioner.
