" My husband rented a RV on a whim."
This is from "English conversation" on July 14.
"whim" means impulse or sudden desire.
People sometimes do things on a whim for example, shopping or eating.
I used to buy clothes on the bargain sale on a whim.
But those which were bought on a whim are mostly thrown away because of useless anymore.
I won't buy anything really unwanted on a whim.
I often bought clothes on a whim,but I can forbear buying on a whim now.
返信削除Because I failed buying on a whim a lot!
But I don't, when I take a trip.
My mother said,
' When you go a place where you can't easily go,and meet a favorite thing on a whim,
if you hesitate about what you buy the thing or not, you choose to buy it without hesitating.
Because it's once in a lifetime chances are precious.(in Japanese ' ichigo ichie')
If you cease to use it, it becomes a precious memory.'

Your mother suggests you to live yourself at the most such as never regret what you didn't do than what you failed.
削除It makes sense from the seniors.
I also learned from the experience what I made mistakes on a whim.
"Whim" has many really regret.
返信削除Not a whim, today's my topic.
One of the fun of sumer , It's to eat that tropicalfruits of Okinawa.
Twelve years ago, I visited Okinawa with my friends, Ishigaki island for the first time.
At the time, I have been fascinated by tasted of toropical fruits. I ate those for the first time.
Since then, I'm receiving "passionfruits and mango" Ishigki isiand and Miyako island, every yeas.
Your taste from not a whim but really sane favor....it's so nice!
削除I was so addicted by nuts on a whim and got bad affections. So even I like nuts much I can eat moderate quantity.
When I was young, I bought many clothes on a whim,especially the store was in sale.
返信削除Some day I knew that there were many clothes in my wardrobe and I nearly wear them.
So I won't buy them too much.
When I bought what I really wanted,I use it carefully and for a long time,though it's expensive a little.
I'd like to buy favorite things and live with them.
As getting old we get to know how to live in comfortable as a minimalist.
削除When I was young, I have also often bought a thing on impulse.
返信削除For example, I could have caused to buy expensive three analog video cameras and three analog video recorders during several years in video relation of my hobbies by rapid technological development. It was very regrettable in the digital age of today.
However, by such experience, it has become a career of more than 30 years to take the video camera of my hobbies.
By the way, I have the impulse buying often even now，having taken the year.
It's not on a whim from the strong motion or desire to do yourself. As long as you enjoy and use them often is very useful not a whim.
削除I'm also a person to pay much on digital divices but it's not on a whim.
I did a lot of impulse buying olddays!
返信削除The impulse buying is fun
But I did not buy it on impulse now
I aim at the simplelife
I went to inspection hospitatization in a night yesterday
this is rare oxpenience
You had an odd experience at the night hospital examination?!
削除I have a doughter of junior high school student.
返信削除When she was a kindergartener, I use to buy the clothes of my favorite for her. Then she was so pleased, but now she is reluctant to my choice clothes. “Mom, it’s childish to me!”
I don't want to waste money. So I go to shopping with her and she should choose her favorite one!
From Sandra
You seem a good sponsor for her because she can choose anything she likes and you pays. I'm sure your daughter and you have a good deal.
