- I borrowed this list from a blog focussed on reducing consumption. I don't have time now to make the comments I want to but I thought it was a good way to kick off lent so read it now and I'll comment later :)
- Essentials:
- Food and Drink
- Exercise
- Toothpaste
- Deodorant
- Soap
- Underwear
- Birthday presents
- Non-essentials:
- Gambling
- Cigarettes
- Pay -per-view
- Half-time pie
- Golf?

If music be a non essential activity where does blogging sit in the firmament?
ReplyDeleteHi Kylie,
ReplyDeleteNice list. We manage to convince ourselves we need much, much more than we actually do. What have you decided to give up for lent?
Thanks for your comment the other day about all people having the same sort of questions as they mature. It's easy to feel like you're the only one feeling a certain way and it's nice to know you're not.
As for your dinner disaster, what can I say? At least it gave you a funny story to tell your loyal readers. I really like the magnet, too.
attenuator....i didnt say i neccessarily agree with all this. when i write my comments you can judge
ReplyDeleteattenuator, i know you, dont i?
ReplyDeleteIf I was going to reduce consumption, I'd start by not reading the Blog where you got this list.
ReplyDeleteI mean, I always like to eat a snack while I'm playing golf, and listening to my ipod that I won on Ebay.
well done csi :)
ReplyDeleteEssentials...well, I don't wear underwear! Can you believe it?! I don't know why except I can't stand so much crap against my skin. When I was in high school we lived nearby and walked to school every day. One morning we were very, very late and Mom drove us, but something happened on the way and she asked me to get out and look at the tire (as if I was the tire expert or something!). As I reenter the car she said "Where's your slip?" I said "I don't have one on." So as late as we were for classes, she turned around, drove us back to the house and I was forced to put on a slip. I got to school, went into the girls bathroom, removed it and threw it in the trash. I have never been able to deal with that much fabric. Unlike you, fashion does not become me! I'm a simple woman with very, very simple needs. Obviously! My poor mother, God how she stuggled with all of us.
ReplyDeleteLove you!

love this story suze.
ReplyDeletereminds me of one about my very straight laced and lady like grandmother...in the war or depression, sometime when elastic was bad and in short supply, her knickers fell to her feet as she walked along the street...she walked out of them like they weren't even there !!
cool
I'm about to get in the shower (yes,I do bathe!), but came here to delete my comment because I thought it might be a bit too personal. Now I won't because I'm still laughing! :) Your Gram is one hell of a funny lady. Thanks for sharing that story.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day sweetie!
I just had Rob read all of this. He read the first sentence and stated I shouldn't be revealing something so personal, I responded, "Ahhhhhh, who cares." Life's short.

Love you,
