....Westy....

Hey, it does what you want it to do, doesn't it? You keep up with all of us just fine, and you don't do photo work. That's a killer. ;)

Just imagine the storage for them all... Yikes!

[lodwick]

Seems to be doing the job - if it works, do not try to "fix" it, is a good suggestion.

Time to go fire off Mr.Grill for our last meal of the day.

Cheers, Westy.

I've got my pics stored on HP,Photobucket,and Imageshack, but I don't manipulate them like you..Only 10GB hard drive...Good enough for what I do...lol

.....Westy....

[westmex]

Still my posting and etc. place...lol

.....Westy....

[grannie9]

We snuck into a private complex today, and I took some pics of a couple of the homes.

The damned things look like Hotels. Man...what do these people do for a living?

[grannie9]

I have my first laptop at home still.. It has 1 1/2 gigs of hard drive.

Lol.. you can't even get onto AOL with it, and it is stripped raw.

Boy these machines have come a loooong way in not too many years.

I could ask the same of you, but it's not polite..lol

.....Westy....(:-)~

[grannie9]

These are a couple of the smaller ones, believe it or not.

[grannie9]

Nothing.. we're retarded retired. ;)

[westmex]

So am I, but I couldn't afford to live in this house if it wasn't already paid for...

I was BSing with a guy in the espresso joint the other day and he thinks Americans are hooked on having STUFF....Kind of think he might be right....

.....Westy.....

[grannie9]

Yeah.. maybe so.. It might be a Conservative thing. What we have, my husband worked his ass off for and there is nothing in my eyes wrong with that.

We even share....

[Conservababe]

Man...what do these people do for a living?

That is too funny, grannie, because I have thought the same of you and Al.

When I was younger and had house envy, I used to console myself that the larger the home was just that much more square footage to clean. Then my mother burst my bubble by reminding me that if one was rich enough to own a home that size, one could afford someone else to clean. Drat her!

[westmex]

I don't care if folks spend their dough buying things....But I sure as he!! don't need a bunch of STUFF to be content and reasonably happy...Different generation I think.....

....Westy....

[Conservababe]

HA! I will just bet that your extra room is just stuffed with stuff. LOL

[westmex]

Yep, and it's all junk nobody else would want....My daughter will have a time getting rid of it all...Be easier to just burn the place down...lol

.....Westy.....

[Conservababe]

Nope, not really, Westy. I guess you are not a garage-saler person. LOL

[westmex]

Nope, got enough junk already...

.....Westy.....

[Conservababe]

Well, haul your junk out to your driveway, put a sticker price on it and watch it go...go...go. LOL

[grannie9]

I don't think it has much to do with generation, Westy. Maybe it could be ambition? Some have it, some don't. My BIL was always happy with his "three hots and a cot". It didn't matter if anyone else was.

Maybe Al should have never put everything we owned on the line in his mid forties, and started his own business. Do you know what that's like? It could have gone either way. Yes, we were lucky and I'm not going to apologize for it.

Some people just bet on the lottery and hope.
