    Sorry OS, didn't mean to demean the sentiment, I totally agree which is why I'm trying to pursue activities that make more sense to me in the grand scheme of things.
    If you think my attitude stinks, you should smell my fingers.

          Make sure you don't just become the paycheck, you have one life of indeterminate length; you have responsibilities for necessaries but also a right to choose your own course within those parameters. Remember most people regret things they never did but had thought about and also not having enough sex!

            Cremation is the answer to that one.

            The rest, I mainly agree with.

            Cut the expenditure, cut the income and have time with the family instead. This year looks like a bad one for me, because I may have to work for 11 months, rather than my usual 9 months of the year.
