With the economy being as bad as it is and with so many people losing their jobs and their homes . . . I’d feel badly if someone spent more money on me then they could really afford just because they didn’t want to look “cheap” where I was concerned (I’d also feel badly if anyone I gave an inexpensive but heart-felt gift to felt that way about me). There’s a reason someone came up with the old saying, “It’s the thought that counts.” Too bad there are people out there that are so materialistic that anything less than “the best” is considered an insult. I try to get the special people on my list something nice to show them how much I love them but I don’t work outside my home so I can’t exactly afford to get myself into debt up to my eyeballs in order to do that. All I can do is spend what I can afford and hope they understand.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LINDZ.COOP!!!!!
lightenup: You’re welcome. Everyone needs a little support and understanding when the times are tough. I know it’s probably difficult right now, but try not to think about the outside world and all its problems and just try to take comfort and sanctuary within your own home and family instead. As long as you’ve got that, nothing else in the whole world matters.
Good afternoon, AaronClaus, Billy Kringle, K.F.G., Susan, rgcviper, gmforde, MaiTai (Maia) and all the rest of the Cathy fanatics joining us here today. As always, nice to “see” you all.
