My Gift To You ~ "One day I had lunch with some old friends. Jim, a short, balding golfer type, about 85-years old, came along with them; all in all, it was a pleasant bunch. When the menus were presented, my friends and I ordered salads, sandwiches, and soups, except for Jim who said, "A large piece of home-made apple pie, heated please. I wasn't sure my ears heard him right, and the others were aghast, when Jim continued, completely unabashed...."along with two large scoops of vanilla ice cream." We tried to act quite nonchalant, as if people did this all the time, but when our orders were brought out, I didn't enjoy eating mine. I couldn't take my eyes off Jim as I watched him savoring each bite of his pie a-la-mode. The other guys just grinned in disbelief as they silently ate their lunches. The next time I went out to eat, I called Jim and invited him to join me. I lunched on a white meat tuna sandwich, while he ordered a chocolate parfait. Since I was chuckling, he wanted to know if he amused me. I answered, "Yes, you certainly do, but you also confuse me. How come you always order such rich desserts, while I feel like I must be sensible in my food choices?" He laughed and said "I'm tasting all that is possible for me to taste. I try to eat the food I need and do the things I should in order to stay healthy, but life's too short, my friend. I hate missing out on something good. This year I realized how old I was. He grinned. I've never been this old before, so, while I'm still here, I've decided it's time to try all those things that, for years, I've been ignoring." He continued, "I haven't smelled all the flowers yet. There are too many trout streams I haven't fished. There's more fudge sundaes to wolf down and kites to be flown overhead. There are too many golf courses I haven't played. I've not laughed at all the jokes. I've missed a lot of sporting events and potato chips and cokes." "I want to wade again in water and feel ocean spray on my face. I want to sit in a country church once more and thank God for His grace. I want peanut butter every day spread on my morning toast. I want un-timed long distance calls to the one I love the most. "I haven't cried at all the movies yet, or walked in the morning rain. I need to feel wind on my face. So, if I choose to have dessert, instead of having dinner, then should I die before night fall, I'd say I died a winner, because I missed out on nothing. I filled my heart's desire. I had that final piece of pie before my life expired." With that, I called the waitress over.. "I've changed my mind, " I said. "I want what he's having, only add some more whipped cream!" Be mindful that happiness isn't based on possessions, power, or prestige, but on relationships with people we like, respect, and enjoy spending time with.3 points

I think they are already pretty convinced of their "owning prowess" here. That's what makes them so fucking funny. Their PM's are internet "high fives" to each other. Or PMing management to whine on how they feel they are being unfairly ganged up on.1 point

My parents paid for their own wedding, my wife and I paid for ours, I'm expecting the same from my kids. I'll pay for the bar and help out on stuff but if they want to spend a house downpayment on one day, that's their lesson to learn. Weddings have become a huge scam. Tell them you are having a big party and the rentals are one price, tell them it's a wedding and it triples.1 point

We had ours at the church across the street where we lived. Had an old farmer who was a close friend haul all of us to the reception up through town on a hay wagon with an old tractor. Had the reception at the local fire house, food prepared by the ladies aide. My father-in-law was well impressed with the total bill for everything, and the thing is, he'd a had the money to throw a huge shindig, but that just wasn't who we were. Right out of college, living in a small apartment, both working, think I was making 7.50/ hour as a mason tender and sawmill laborer, and she was waitressing at a diner. A couple of our friends had weddings after that at fancy places and I remember asking her if she was disappointed that we didn't do that, and it never bothered her one bit. I did buy a new sled 2 years later. And yes I think it was more than the wedding cost.1 point
