Originally Posted By friendofdd Interesting! I got mine, covered with sand, on the beach. I was using my *hard object* detector, aka toes.

Originally Posted By avromark Dear Editor, I am writing here on behalf of those who are not retired. Retired people should be forced to work menial jobs and those who put in more then 50 hours a week should be retired.

Okay, here's what I do when I start feeling bad about my financial situation. Do I have a roof over my head? Do I have food, clothes, a car? Do I have a computer (or at least access)? I have a cell phone, I go to Starbucks, I shop at Old Navy.... See what I'm saying. Thank God I'm not homeless, or live in one of those really poor countries where people starve to death daily. Or where people have no technology. I own a house, it's really small, but we only have one income cause I can stay home with my kids (don't know if you do, but you can relate by saying I have ......), but I know a couple with two jobs and with two kids who can't afford to buy one here in CA. So they live in a little apartment. Watch "Good Times" on TV Land. They were really poor, but happy. Make a list of things you're blessed with. Hope you feel better about things soon.
