You learned well Grasshopper. Material things are ofter easy to
buy............they do not however often bring happiness to ones
life. ;-)
---------------------
Wrong, Pilgrim.
I didn't "learn" anything. The material things I own or have owned were
purchased because they interested me and I enjoyed them. Some still
interest me. Some have served their time.
I like trying different things. Keeps life interesting.
Eisboch
One day you may learn, although I think you already have but will not
admit.
Carry on Grasshopper.
----------------
Let's not go down that path again. It really doesn't become you.
You take care of you. I'll take care of me.
Eisboch
Fair enough.. I agree it is hard to disagree with the points I
brought up.
Have a good evening.
Why do I always sense of feeling of jealousy you have concerning
Eisboch's and Wayne's financial success? You love to talk about your
"heritage knives" and John Deere lawn mower, but resent it when someone
else is more successful.

Grasshopper, I think you have a lot to learn. To start with read the
bible, they say something about coveting your neighbors goods.

I am not coveting anything , do not resent anyone and am not jealous
of anyone's success. What I stated is the truth. Sorry you see it
differently.

BTW: The knives are JA Henckels and my John Deere tractor is running
just fine.

What we see differently is, that I have no need to try to enforce a list
of acceptable material possessions onto someone else. You seem to
believe your materials goods are so valuable that a set of knives become
"heritage knives' that you include in your will, yet Eisboch's purchases
are a waste of money and time. There are many people who would tell you
that your boat, car and home are useless material possessions that will
not bring you any happiness, and you should sell them all and move into
a cave to spend all of your time praying for peace and serenity. After
all grasshopper, material positions are easy to buy, but they will not
bring you happiness. You might be the only person I know who I would
make this recommendation. If anyone needs "Serenity Now" it is you.
You are sounding more like Harry every day. "If the boat is bigger than
mine, no one needs it, and it should be taxed out of existence". EH?
