This week’s statements:
1. The last time I was on vacation, I went to San Antonio.
2. For breakfast I like to eat sausage, eggs, biscuits....... I like REAL breakfasts!
3. My heart hurts when I see a the waste of food in this country because I know there are hungry children out there..
4. Why must people spend beyond their means just to portray to others that they have more than they really do

I agree that people spend too much hbowever our governments don't help when they waste money on lavish parties and hotel stays.

#4 - oh yes. I cannot believe some people I know that have put themselves so far in debt just to be a part of "the haves". If I hear them complain about how they will afford Christmas -- while they are standing in line for the new iPhone 5 - one time, Imma gonna smack someone.
We are old school - we actually save for something. or adjust our budget accordingly. Or, we don't buy it. simple. Our furniture is all 2nd hand and nothing matches, but you will be welcomed in my home, fed, coffee or tea will be brewed.... and you never have to worry about your kids breaking something valuable here.

OH... don't start me on #4... great answer by the way... who came up with the 'keeping up with the Joneses' anyway? It seems like no one is content just having what they have... always wanting more.....

Have a great weekend

I do not understand peoples need for stuff either. Keeping up with the Jones is a battle lost before it even starts.

Wow, your #4 is so true! No matter how much we have, if we are trying to impress others it's never enough.

I like a hearty breakfast too! Pancakes and sausages for me, along with all the stuff you listed, LOL!

Have a blessed weekend.
