Have to agree Mike. The universe flows on "joy," therefore, we should do what's in our means to feel joy whenever possible. For us R O L E X wearers, that joy is felt each sweeping second.

A lot of things that are healthy if you do them for pleasure are not if you do them for show

My wife says the same thing about shoes. And Henri Bendel. And for some odd reason, scented candles.

However this corollary has the INVERSE effect on your spouse. Don't believe me? Wait until your wife comes home with a Birkin bag.

Hmmm. I'm not sure about the health effects. I seem to put on a few more pounds with every purchase. It could be all the time I spend on this forum instead of the gym now.

Don't confuse the negative effects of TRF with the health benefits of a new watch. TRF is like a crack house with all us junkies here.
