I wish that I could tone down the drama! But I have to live it every day! The key word in your response is "If"! I can assure you, that IF I were wealthy enough [or as wealthy as you apparently are], IF I didn't have to pay my government tithes, IF I didn't have to pay my religious tithe, IF I didn't have to contribute to the support of sisters, nieces and nephews, great nieces and great nephews, IF my parents were wealthy and left us buckets of $$, IF I had married the rich guy instead of the guy I loved, IF John Beresford Tipton has sent Michael Anthony to my house years ago, If I had listened to my parents and saved 10% of my annual income when I began to work, IF, IF, IF.........that's the story of my life!

Along with the fact that I still wear my old clothes, my old old clothes go to the Salvation Army or the church's clothes closet, household items that are still useable go to Freecycle or my yard sales, I still eat leftovers, I can't tell you the last time I went out to a movie, etc. I live the addage "Waste not, want not." every day!

And to me - your thoughts ijusluvit are a waste!
