Shaq is cool dude

Great Shaq story. My cousin is doing work at Shaqs house and babysitter for his 6 year old daughter fell through for the day. Cousin brings daughter to work with him, Shaq sees the little girl and says yo, she is with me for the day. Girl had the time of her life. My cousin got to know Shaq and says he is a great guy.

18 year olds in "love".

Honestly, IDK but they are in business for a reason.

Not me.

I just bought an engagement ring.

Off an Israeli importer in Queens (no storefront or anything, hand to hand lol ) ... well not the ring, I just bought the stone from him, I then had to go have it set in a band

Good times.

I went to the diamond district years ago. You negotiate on the stone first, then the setting. I would never buy a ring in a store. I was working with a broker, but ended up buying on my own. I saved a fortune

The entire phenomenon of wedding rings is a scam. It always disgusts me that people spend so much time and money on the endeavor. Worse yet, it's so deeply ingrained in our culture that many of you will have a strong emotional reaction to me even making this statement.

Diamonds just paying a for adverting. It's quite sad, that being said. There are ways to get diamonds for way less namely the diamond district.

I'm married and spent way more than I'm comfortable with on the ring, even though it was far, far less than 2 months salary.

Same. I've never been a big jewelry guy other than watches so my wedding band is from ringninja.com. I actually bought 3 in case I lose the original...which I did once at a tailgate.

Luckily my wife didn't care about my ring. Mine was $20 on Amazon.
 
I remember watching a segment on Shaq when he was in L.A.. He was going to the local toy stores after closing on Christmas Eve and buying most of what was left in stock, having and wrapped and then dropped off at orphanages and shelters. When they asked him why, it wasn't 'I owe it." or "I should be doing this.". I may be mistaken but I kept think he simply answered, "I want to and can."
 
Even better if done without fanfare. I'm sure he does stuff like this all the time. I joke with my daughter that there isn't a product Shaq won't be a TV pitchman for.

I sold for a few years. Here is a good rule of thumb. Bring cash. Offer half immediately. Walk. There is actually less margin on the bigger ticket items as there is less market so if you stay in the real world arena you should be gold. Yes the DD is the joint.
 
I love these Shaq stories because you just know what kind of righteous dude he is. Now he makes a ton of money and is deserving but the generosity does not surprise.

Isn't your comment about being disgusted about something you didn't engage in a bit of a strong emotional reaction? At what point were you moved from indifferent to disgusted?
