I pointed out to a colleague that it costs me no more a week than 4 packs of cigarettes costs her. Does that make me posh or just choosing to spend m y money another way?

people moan that they wish they were better of and complain about people that have money nice cars and a good life style but they don't actualy want to go out and do any thing to change their lives. Surely we get out of life what we put in. So the question remains Why are we happy to moan but not to achieve?

I really don't like all this exploitation of silver reserves. If silver was a people there would be a real fuss! Let's stop exploiting silver, eh? But what can we use instead?

People say just be yourself, but it seems that doesn't work for some people. For some, being yourself can make your life terrible for you. Most people won't like your ideas, the way you dress, talk, act, think, move, etc. When ever you disagree with people, you usually get more problems.

SO, it seems that if you just do what everyone says, be agreebale all the time, & be what everyone wants you to be, that everyone treats you like a saint, saying things like, "Oh he's such a great person", "Oh, he's so easy to talk to", or "Oh, he's so easy going & out going", etc.

It seems that being fake is actually the best way to be to have a smooth and easy life. But being real means disagreements, arguements, people hating you, bosses firing you, etc.

It seems like only some people can be themselves and get away with it. Those are the people who ARE exactly the way popular people of the world wants people to be, act, look like, sound like, etc.

What do you think?

Could it be because they are such lovely people, living in a paradise, with lots of cute donkeys. I'm baffled!

It seems like a homeless or low income mother never wins the lottery, it is always a retired couple with a nice home or a professional person who wins the big money. When I lost my job, I didn't get any more pay, whereas when many professional people are fired or lose their jobs, get serverance pay for several months. Those up against financial opsticals never find a way out whereas someone with financial problems that could evently fix it because they have a good income and can cut stuff out, unlike those of us who can't cut anything out because it's all necessaties, get money left to them, or they win a new car, etc. I never buy lotto tickets or anything so I don't expect to win anything, but it seems like in general those who need the most, get the least breaks.

How do you learn to do them? Is there a less painful way other than having someone push you down?

As I was traveling thru the US yesterday I stopped off in a restroom in Illinois on the back of the door was this sign. PLEASE DO NOT FLUSH tampons, pads, liners and diapers. As tampons pads and liners state they are flushable to put this sign makes sense. My question is how stupid does a person have to be to flush a diaper? This sign thing is getting a little out of hand. Do not use the hairdryer while bathing. Do not touch the iron when hot. Do not eat the bag of silicon in most products. Do these signs need to be put into Adult products? Are we all so incompetent we have to be told "caution maybe hot" on a cup of coffee??? What ever happen to common sense did it go out style?

Marry Jane was looking for Mr. GoodBar. She met an M&Ms with peanuts that had a Million Dollar Bar which was a Jaw Breaker when she gave him a Blow PoP He gave it to her in the Milkyway. That gave her an Almond Joy; then she gave birth to Baby Ruth.

Look at everybody's avatars here. We're all thin and relatively good-looking. What does that say about Society!!!!!
