I would keep saving and plan a trip for me and my husband. That would be maximum fun for the money for me. ---

You could probably get a lot of teledildonics equipment with $1000. ---

Buy a nice bottle of single malt whisky. A Macallan 30 year old would be a fine item to share with the wife and friends. Then there was [this guy](http://www.craigslist.org/about/best/stl/257305465.html) who had a similar idea. :eek: ---

Charity. Or the Bricker Single-Malt Scotch Tasting Society (membership:1). Which is a _kind_ of charity, really. If you think about it. ---

I wish to join and subscribe to your newsletter. 🙂 My first donation will be a bottle of [Old Sheep Dip.](http://www.masterofmalt.com/whiskies/sheep-dip-whisky/) While not a single malt it does make a fine gift and a good converation starter. Taste-wise it is similar to Dewars. ---

Dude, invest while the market’s still got some fairly low prices. Not many people have spare cash right now, that you have some that you actually have to think hard about where it needs to go means that nearly all of it should have gone to some sort of investment. Also quit smoking and save yourself even more money. ---
