31. they'll need a drink after they leave here
I guess your post it the most heartbreaking to me. When someone gets crushed, it makes me sick. I don't even know what to say to you. Can I ask what you do now?

Yes, we do live in a mass society. Irrational urges... I have learned through my mentor about NOT keeping up with the Jones. I say no a lot to my son. it's difficult when he's in school and they target these kids with overpriced events and fundraisers. Now that I'm opening my mouth, that will be the first thing I address this school year. Yes, bobby can earn a slinky if he sells ten overpriced pizzas, so the kids can have a holiday party , where Mary's mother will be mad because her daughter's cupcake didn't have sprinkles, but another kids did. I see it all of the time, at school, parties, etc. parents just giving kids a lot of money for a lot of nothing. Oh my God, I sound like my dad. I sound like my dad!

I need to find out more about being more involved, I'm just waiting for the first politician to ring my door bell, if it's dem, I'll tell them their office didn't want my help when I called. if it's a repug, well, that will be a lot of fun, and they'll need a drink after they leave here.
