Goldilocks and the three travel mugs

Gemini here. If I bothered believing in astrology, I would simply blame the dual-sided nature of my personality for this particular quirk in me. And while I most definitely do NOT believe in this stuff, amusingly, if you look at any astrology book, in their description of Geminis, they are describing so accurately it is hilarious. I am the classic Gemini in so many ways. (And my birthday IS in the heart of Gemini, btw.)

Re: Astrology.

Sagittarius, represent!

Going by a description I found here, a lot of it does sound pretty spot on.

The classic trick -- I think James Randi did it -- was to ask everyone in a room for their star sign, and then give them each a piece of paper containing their horoscope. They all read their horoscopes privately and were asked if it described them accurately. The vast majority said yes. Then they were told to trade horoscopes with the people on their lefts. Turned out everyone had the exact same one...

Anyhoo. Yeah, when I'm short on money I'm just. that. picky. Well, almost. I'm not going to waste an employee's time on it. I spent fifteen minutes trying to pick out a water bottle and then not doing it, because I wanted one with a decent sealing lid that would fit in the bottle sleeve on my messenger bag. None of them did. Honestly, I wasn't short on money that time, but I was in the middle of a move and was extremely averse to buying and bringing home anything that would turn out to be unsuitable for the task it was bought for.

Witness how long it took me to decide which phone I was going to get......

Wow... my major deciding factor in a phone is if it had a QWERTY keyboard on it......

See, originally I wasn't going to go for the Galaxy that I got. Because originally I really wanted to stick with a phone that had an actual physical keyboard, rather than a touch screen one.

I decided to forego the physical keyboard for the Galaxy for two basic reasons. 1. Every phone that I've had that had a physical keyboard, the keyboard broke down, and slowly died, giving me double taps, triple taps, or no response for various keys. And it drove me nuts. 2. The phones with such keyboards are slowly becoming dinosaurs, and I figured I might as well jump on the leading edge of technology now, and then just ride the wave for a while as everyone else slowly passes me.

Still not sure how I feel about the touchscreen keyboard, and still not quite used to it enough to text at the relatively blinding speed I was able to on an actual keyboard.

Are either of you by any chance a Libra?

I am, and my mother and aunt used to dread taking me shopping for anything at all. Because, libra, scales, must balance every. single. detail. >_<

I finally realized that my time was more valuable and have developed a lot of shortcuts to cut out the things I definitely don't want or that definitely won't make the cut, so it's not nearly so irritating to shop with me.

As for the OP, that's when you point out that, "Well, you could buy the large one, but then every time you hold it, you'll be inconvenienced and think of the two smaller ones. Or you could buy the small one, but every time you have to refill it, you'll think about the two larger ones. Alternately, you could buy the middle one, and today you'll have the inconvenience of spending a little bit more on it, but won't think about it at all while you're not refilling it like the smaller one, or while you're not feeling awkward holding it like the large one."
