I start using it in July. I think that is why the Santa myth was invented. Parents needed a scare tactic.Melindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11673930610844503371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7461976390766037601.post-85819305358228728902007-08-23T20:26:00.000+10:002007-08-23T20:26:00.000+10:00Oh Hell!

Most of us just do what we have to do to earn.<BR/><BR/>But, I would like to have enough money that I didn't have to worry. Those that say money can't buy happiness are just full of crap. I would not be stupid with my money, I would make it last a lifetime, but enjoy it at the same time.Aunty Evilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18433383999833031264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7461976390766037601.post-848251844656083472007-08-23T12:33:00.000+10:002007-08-23T12:33:00.000+10:00Ah, bugger it.

And it is what you love doing, good on you, I say. <BR/><BR/>That whole work vs life thing is a quandary isn't it?craftyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14396831672463509735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7461976390766037601.post-79284287392709757802007-08-23T12:09:00.000+10:002007-08-23T12:09:00.000+10:00My friend Elda's motto is quite simple. If you do...My friend Elda's motto is quite simple. If you don't believe, you don't receive.<BR/><BR/>I think Climber still believes. I don't think he's as logical as Monkey #1.<BR/><BR/>The problem I'm finding with living my life the way I like - not getting caught up in mortgage or possessions or chronic workaholism, balancing family life with pursuing the stuff that makes me happy (ie dancing), is that it's not seen as a real or grown-up or valid choice sometimes. Because it's all about salary and holiday pay and superannuation isn't it? And maybe when I'm living in a cardboard box in a railway station when I'm 90, I'll find out they were right...maybe I should have got a real job.Stomper Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04038937073264645029noreply@blogger.com
