This is some sort of sick joke, right?

Oh, thanks! I saw her post but I didn't make the connection.

GD~ I hear you, and, personally, no offense. {hee hee, of course, I wouldn't be one that would be, right?} But, it did create quite the conversation, right?

LSPE & NA~ I feel the same way about debt, on both of your accounts!!! I do want to live and enjoy myself. Life is too short. I do things on a smaller scale and I don't have such grand desires, that for which my family is grateful.

So, I keep the debt as low as I can while kicking up my heels. And, to touch on those funeral commercials about leaving your family in debt to cover one, I have told them that cemetaries are too crowded, cremate me. Don't come visit me but rather remember the good times we had.

I think I'll make a map of the country of places I want them to go and spread some of me. I saw this in a movie and it was an interesting road trip.

I know people who own a handful of houses and quite a bit of stock. But, how many of them are happy? The ones who go out and enjoy life.

So, while GD might feel he has offended people by his topic, I think, in this one moment, I again remember what it is all about. Not what shirts you have or how much $$ you have to spend on those shirts but rather, are you happy in your skin today? Have you told the one you love, who DIDN'T buy you the freakin' $40. shirt that you still love him and he rocks your world?

*argh* I need more coffee.....
