A hearse, lol! No shit! I feel that way all the time. Well, my main concern this time around was fuel efficiency and of course safety above all else. After having driven SUV's for the past twenty years, I can't go back to cars. This is a nice size crossover. Good for taking adrive into the hills, the beach, etc. but also nice enough for the city. I love it.

I get it Jim. I get it. Seems sometimes as if there's no getting ahead. Look at me, for example. I recently got a nice promotion with a substantial raise, but then had to buy a new car when the old one tanked. So the "getting ahead" now goes to the car payment. She's a great ride, but expensive. Your place is cool!

Oh yeah, thanks for the Geddy video! I had seen that before, most likely from you. Stay warm...Canyon Man!

in NLP
Neurolingoistic programming is called reframing,

giving things a different framework. and yes, the enemy can't take that away from us!

Mind over Matter
I know this

yes, you are right,
if I had a family and children my life would be different.

I find it remarkable that you don't shirk the responsibility and then stand by it.

remarkable.

I decided years ago not to work much.
Of course I have to do without a lot of things,
I don't have a car, I often buy my clothes used, etc...
but you can't buy more time.

Oh das würde mich sehr freuen.!!

1 I sat by the Rhine and looked out into the waves,
The flood seemed to me to be a fairy kingdom,
For suddenly it rang out like the song of fairies,
Oh so wonderful, oh so magical And blissfully like a chorus of mermaids
Now it reached my ear, sweet and flattering.

|: O you beautiful German Rhine, You shall forever be Germany's ornament! :|
2. Then very soon a maiden came along in a boat,
Only the Lorelei was so beautiful. The maiden sat down next to me,
Talked of fairy tales from old times,
And soon German song and German wine delighted us all:

|: O you beautiful German Rhine, You shall forever be Germany's ornament! :|

3. But when I then looked into the lovely girl's eyes,
Then it was, oh very soon, my heart was broken.
In bliss I swore eternal love and eternal loyalty to the lovely maiden
And, united in sweet harmony, that song rang out again:

|: O you beautiful German Rhine, you shall forever be Germany's ornament!
