While I agree with every word Hasbeen, I have to blame myself.
I diverted my own thread.
It had for along time, been my intention to start such a thread.
About spending unwisely.
But also about the prompts to consume at such times.
I celebrate what was a Pagan festival, just for the joy of it.
But media is reporting ,right now, Christmas shopping is slow.
About a week in to the new year we will be told it has been quite good.
Local and City papers, are running story's, saying how good the fishing is.
Locals know the fish co op is the most likely place to get them.
By not falling for the mutton dressed as Lamb, you can put enough away to buy what you want/truly need.

dont worry about the fatique ol mate
we all got that...and the purple bloches
bruises i would have thought to be a sign of lucimia

but at least you know
so dont sweat on it

dont get into comfort eating
many comfort shop

we dont like the consuming
we like the shop

[in hell..
there is many shops]

its rather funny to know that these shoppkeepers..keep selling the same stuff...

[i would quote it]..
but will summerise it

the shop keepers say
as soon as i sell it
it goes away

then they forget it
and it comes back

look in your cuboards
full of stuff ya never eat

i just used up the last of my coffee hoard
some of it 5 years out of date

i saw i wanted i bought it
then simply forgot it

and bought it again
and again and a gain

then forget get sad
and buy it again

but look where that leads
read the titles at least!

GOOD! Since Mssrs. Hewlett and Packard left, HP has been the leader in planned obsolescence, with some of those Hungarian-manufactured CD-ROM drives we started our animation shop with back in the 1990s failing in as little as two weeks.

HP's printers are notorious for the built-in self-destruct noted in the documentary "The Lightbulb Conspiracy"

The Pavilion I had kept locking up due to faulty chip designs. I will never ever again buy an HP product and I will gladly dance on their grave when they collapse.

Thanks OUG I am ok mate.
Had Q Fever and it shook me for years,but rode it out.
Type 2 Sugar, brings, at my age, blood pressure and heart concerns.
Three weeks ago, after 3 off trying to get a result on what was wrong would not have bet I would be here today.
I have felt like a bag of bones every one on fire,tough old rooster but it hurt.
Every day I get better, some days am real good.
Took two days to mow lawn.
The blotches are a symptom.
I will be around for a while mate next two elections maybe.
Operation to have a look at the other thing March.
Seen the papers/TV media telling us to be aware of online shopping?
theft not arriving or not on time.
Some times think we are too trusting.
Along with telling holiday makers the fish are about knowing they are not.
We now see subliminal adds, such as those story's, telling us to get out and buy imported goods from our shops not same but cheaper on line!

belly quote/..""I will be around for a while mate

initially i thought great another 7 years with a good mate

but then i ran the numbers
next year election one
and the re-election by double disolution at least before next xmass

so tops of 2012
yeah same for me
[lol i should live that long]

but mate *we tried
and posted..only things we really believe
not only what adgenda..some paid to post

""Seen the papers/TV media

theft...not arriving..or not on time.

mate too much trusting
or suss on everything[we cant have it both ways

your faith/trusting
thats no problem..its why we love you

""telling holiday makers the fish are..knowing they are not.""

mate some times things change
yesterday was great...[lol]..a fisherman told me so..lol

""We now see subliminal adds,""'

no mate the clever 'b'...follow us online
feed us adds according to what we visit..search for

like i googled up red heads
now every add..has red haired people in it

sublime indeed..""such as those story's,
telling us to get out and buy imported goods"""

but mate if i dont got a harley
my peerrs wont think im cool

""cheaper on line!""
yeah i bought a toner cartRAGE..online
for one quarter the retail cost..[ok it only lasted half as long
so i bought 4 more....they lasted 500 copies..and 800...the third killed my copier]

but mate they came on time
and was what i wanted

[and truth is i will do it again]
except if ya note from previous links i put up
paypal...is withholding full payment..for 3 months

things are going pear shaped
and paypal...wants to know its FOR if only 3 months..at least protected...[holds more than it owes]...just like most of us oldies

we were luckey in the good cuntry
thus owe and pay back...give something back
even if its only regarded...as ol mens opinioons

but life
im over fighting to hangon to it..

OUG have a great one, but I intend to make those 7 years.
by then a return to Labor by a landslide.
Wait for headlines saying Christmas spending exceeded expectations.
After we have been driven out to spend spend spend.
