(off topic) Thanks for the list! It put a smile on my face. I especially like #11 "Eating out with small children isn't worth it even if someone else is buying." because it's so true! Whenever my husband and I take our 1 1/2 and 4 year olds out to dinner, after listening to the 1 1/2 year old whine and squirm the whole time, then ending up trying to eat my dinner with him in my lap, we wonder why we even bothered.

In the past when I have lost money, I always rationalize it to myself by thinking, "Well, at least my kids are healthy, and we don't need the money." It works every time.

Also, about a week ago my 42 year old neighbor was mowing his lawn, had a massive stroke and died. That really put things in perspective. I remember thinking "Who cares what Zitel does today?" By the way, it was standing room only at his church memorial service. He was very active in church and community activities. There must have been 500 people there. I remember thinking that there won't be that many at my funeral. I don't even know that many people.

You have a good day too.
