well look at the Kardashians.     I've tried and tried and I never found anything where those girls said or did anything unkind or cruel to any one.    Yah they are cheap and trashy,  but those girls  take an  extraordinary amount of guff  in the media and still they manage to separate a whole lot of coin from a whole lot of fools and  they got wealthy doing it.

 

 

I've often felt the same way Cliff about those girls, hey if the public is going to eat it up and shoot that family millions in the process, again, more power to them!

Can you imagine being  them?  I mean the constant attention and people  remarking  publicly about your every wiggle.

I don't feel badly for them; it's the life they chose and continue to choose, but it's not one I'd want.   I wouldn't want to live in the glare of  being a public spectacle

Amen and Amen

All I want to know is where are our millions of dollars for putting up with the crud we do everyday? I guess we just aren't lucky.

LOL.   those who put us through it seem to be taking all the money.

 I've never - ever - understood the yearning that most people seem to have for a king, for some one to lord it over them and be so much better than them.  I just don't understand people at all.

Obviously the inside has been sanded.  The wood looks new.  My Grandpa used to tell me, "A fool and his money are soon parted."

 

On the other hand, the younger folks don't seem to care about what was built before, the hardship, the craftsmanship, the comfort and convenience it made for those who went before us.  I have tools that neither of my children or my 4 grandchildren have any interest in.  Maybe, they can get a few bucks for it while I push up daisies.  

I guess it either sold, or?

Or, it made a little weenie roast.

Shucks guys, I feel kinda of bad now...I bought it; way too good of a deal to pass up. Watch for me on Antiques Roadshow Bloopers Special.
