They are sold refrigerated, not frozen. You peel the lid back and inside is a plastic pouch with the meat and vegetables. Take out the pouch, put the eggs in, empty the pouch contents in, stir, and throw it in the microwave. Tastes very good. I use two eggs instead of one, more filling that way. If you roll with 1 egg, just put it on a bagel for a yummy sammy. SAR I Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE BARON Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 1 hour ago, choon328 said: He didn't spend $400,000 on the necklace, that was the "alleged" value. I'd be surprised if he spent half of that on it. I know people who spent $500,000 on a house and now can't sell it for 60% of that. Let's be honest, if he spent $250K on a Mercedes AMG S65 Coupe nobody would bat an eye even though cars are terrible investments. Also I doubt this was an "impulse" buy. A necklace like that needs to be ordered months in advance. A car is a useful tool. A house is also an item you need. You can't blame a homeowner for buying before 2007. Blame the brilliant president that decided to scrap Glass-Steagall. IMHO, Expensive jewelry is foolish purchase for anyone that has or does not have a lot of money. It sums up the ideals and values that drive a lot of people today. Buy expensive things to impress people they don't care about and who care equally less about them.

It's not what I would do, then again I'm not a 21 year old who was just handed several million dollars. If I was I likely would have splurged on something big too. In fact, related to #4, I bought the GLD (gold ETF) in the market a few months ago. I just don't wear it around my neck but it's completely true that a new car would decrease in value much quicker than precious metals. So I got something in common with the Big Ticket....

Correct, at least in relation to the intended purpose of such a purpose. And certainly not when you stamp the chain with something like "Big Ticket," but my point was a simple one. Let's not criticize him for buying something like that when an automobile or many other things would depreciate pretty damn quickly. I had a friend who sold a small business in 2016, he used about 10% of the proceeds on a weekend long party in Las Vegas for 100 of his friends and family, all expenses paid. It was his money so to each his own, but I'd call that more frivolous than what Mekhi did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
