Save Money, Be Happy
I just noticed Jenn and Julie's-- or is it Julie and Jenn's-- blog about ways to save money when you're shopping.
Personally, spending more for anything than I need to is a sensitive issue for me. It's why I don't buy Mac's or IPods when I know other products out there give better value (if less social status).
But enough of my personal eccentricities. Their blog seems worthwhile to me and I will be subscribing to there RSS feed. I recommend it to you.
In short. Saving money, good. Making greedy CEOs rich, bad. Vote with you dollars.

Marion. To each his own. I make enough money... I'm sure that most who make millions aren't making "enough".
Like everyone, I have my insecurities and weaknesses, but needing to impress others with my affluence is not one of them.
Don't you think "Depression Era Thinking" might be a good thing? In our society, status is determined by how much we own, or rather, how much affluence we display. Many go deeply in to debt in order to continue to project the image of wealth.
Contributions to society seem to count for little. And I suspect that those who get the most public recognition are not those that do the most good.
I seem to recall a Native American tribe in the northwest where status was determined by how much you gave away. That is something that impresses me.
Those of us who have a lot of responsibility and a corresponding amount of stress yearn for a simpler time. If I exhibit "Depression Era Thinking", I choose to consider it a compliment.

I suppose I don't know what I posted that needed removing. I would like to know how to make money and post on the internet all day like Marion.

The mods have been overly sensitive the past few weeks, it's seemed to me, than they've been in the past. Not sure if it's an attempt to reign it in, or if they got somebody new. My request on one of my own wierdly-pulled posts went unanswered.
RogueThrill (anonymous) says…
I think they are just deleting anything that gets reported.
Which is OK. If someone made me moderate this heap I would do the same thing. Because then I would be making money deleting posts on the internet instead of figuring out how I can make money posting them.

"The mods have been overly sensitive the past few weeks...."
That's why I'm a rocker.
( hmm... maybe just a mocker )
