BUY THAT CAR!!!

  I was reading a book where one character was upset that another character had bought a really expensive car. "Do you know how many families could be feed with that money?"
  I have heard this type of question for years. I have never heard anyone ask, "Do you know how many families are fed because I spent this money?"
  A car has to have a designer. It's not done for free. A prototype has to be built. Someone
gets paid for that. Materials have to be bought. Materials have to be delivered. None of this
is free.
  Then comes the assembling, shipping, and selling. The car, once purchased, has to be
maintained. After a time, the car becomes a used car and sold again. Eventually it ends in
a junkyard and it's parts sold. At each of these stages someone earns money and a family is
fed, clothed and sheltered. And, what do you know? The money is passed on. A never ending
circle.
  So, buy that car and know you helped feed a hungry family.

Cost Of Living

1:52 PM Posted by Linda Henson , , , , , ,
  l found a game where you decorate a room or backyard. You get a choice of different items, but
you have to earn coins by playing games. I was decorating a bathroom and picked out a stand alone towel rack then moved on to other things. Then I thought, wait a minute. 2000 dollars for a towel rack? The t. v. cost 1600. The pool, 1700. Who pays 2000 dollars for a towel rack? Even if I had billions to throw around, I wouldn't spend 2000 on a rack. A nice pair of shoes, maybe. Dinner for four, perhaps. Towel rack, no. A rubber ducky? Now that makes sense.

Sugar, Sugar

  I was listening to someone put down sugar. They said, it was bad. They said, it was all right when it came from something natural like fruit. I thought, sugar is natural. It's not made in a lab. It grows out of the ground, like fruit. It's not Frankenstein's monster. So put down your pitchforks and torches and have a sweet day.
