Everyone should give this a shot in life sometime...living simply...it will eliminate a lot of the 'fear' that gets built into us as we grow up under society's eye.

We live pretty simply. I've always been against the "keeping up with the Joneses" mentality. I think that's the problem in this country. We buy things that we don't need, with money that we don't have, to impress people that we don't like.

I don't let internet background noise spoil my fun.

I have never killed a kitten or seen one killed - it was my grandad who was a Victorian and died very many years before I was born

Similarly, slaughtering hens was something I assisted in when I was 7 years old - even though I have eaten chicken since then

All this was apparent from my post, so if you are going to take a slap at people, then for heavens sake get some reading comprehension skills first or you make yourself look like a nit-wit

I don't think you care a jot about the facts or the posts - I don't think you even read them properly - you just want to stagger around the forums like a drunken sailor taking a slap at people. You do it every day. Posting the bald statement that you have more money than me etc is just obvious bating

If you are a vegetarian and don't like the idea of slaughtering chickens, then say so, give reasons, and don't just take a personal pop at people who do eat chicken.

Where did I take a shot at people for eating chicken? You're the one who brags about your wealth, not me. I merely replied to what you posted.

Neither my fiance nor I drink alcohol or even smoking so the question is not quite appropriate for both of us.biggrin.gif.

Have you ever?

Nope. I use "quite" word just try to be polite and do not want to offend people who choose to do that.

You should try it. It will put hair on your chest ;)

Errr..I don't think so. I don't want to be known as a girl with hairy chest.:P.Also I highly avoid encouraging my fiance to get one because am not fond to have hairy guy as my partner. :D. Anyway, I thanked to you for suggestion though and am going to tell my girl-friends about this post.:idea:

I don't care for beer, I'm a sangria kind of girl... but my hubby would freak out without cerveza! He takes his beer quite seriously, he's a bit of a beer connoisseur. :lol: He makes a point to try beers from all over the world.

And we eat a lot of chicken, so no we could not live with out it. :no:

Don't recall the USCIS asking me how many chickens I had with that crazy I-864, wanted to know how much American dollar I have. Same with the IRS with inventory you didn't sell yet, they won't take that either, want cold hard cash. Same with the property tax collector, cannot give them a pile of rotten boards they way over assessed, also want cold hard cash.

Least as a kid, could go to the park and find empty glass pop and beer bottles I could take to the store and trade for a double dip ice cream cone. Actually got two separate single dip cones, price was the same, but got extra ice cream and a free cone plus. Go to a park today and find plenty of trash that the government will charge you to take.
