I'll borrow that box for a moment Don, another part of this dilemma that I see is all "the stuff" ! Everyone has to have the latest "stuff"... from cell phones to " I somethings "...

And what enjoyment is there getting the latest stuff each year just to know it's old and out dated in 11 months?!?!? We grew up almost dirt poor. We got to choose a gift at xmas from the sears "big book" catalog. Each child could spend 20 bucks! Of course there might be others gifts like clothes, socks etc... But we loved each other and we all worked for a common good! Dad worked 2 jobs, left at 4 AM and returned home at 10 PM! Mom took a afternoon job once we all were old enough and we did chores to keep everything in order.

We didn't have "stuff"... as compared to today... we had enough though, there were times I wish we weren't so poor but, we had enough to eat and shoes on our feet and that was usually a good feeling to know I had enough! I just see so many people who want all the "stuff" and when they get it.. It doesn't bring any enoyment because they now want the next new thing..

Jumping down now... thanks for listening.. 8-)
