Random Musings
Don't you hate it when that little envelope pops up down there on your computer's toolbar telling you that you've got a new e-mail, and it turns out to be spam? I do. Just happened again. GRRRRRR.
Isn't it amazing how we seem to be consumed by our posessions? This hit me the other day as I recently packaged up three dvd's that I sold on ebay, only to open up a package I received that same day which had three cd's in it that I bought on ebay. Do we ever stop and realize how much stuff we own and take for granted? Can you imagine what people did in their spare time before television, movies, dvd's and the internet? I certainly wouldn't want to live in a techlology-less age or one with less sophisticated toys, anywho.
Two of these recent ebay buyers are from Canada and the other is from Austria. Even though the ad said I will only ship to the US & Canada, this fella bought a dvd from me anyway. I'm going to ship it to him anyway, since I've never sold anything to anyone in Austria before.
I believe I had more Forgotten English words here as part of this post at one time, but it looks like BIG BAD BLOGGER ate them. Hate it when that happens...

Stop consuming so much then. Some people say it's not easy, but it's really not so hard.

Unfortunately, most of us don't - and THAT's the problem. Live in the underdeveloped world for a while and your persepctive will be changed radically. At least it was for me.

Um, they talked to each other. Oddly enough, some people still do.
"... I certainly wouldn't want to live in a techlology-less age or one with less sophisticated toys, anywho."
And yet the majority of the world's population still does.
I would love to discuss this further, but I am at the library where I can get FREE things and don't hve to worry about keeping them and allowing them to take up space!
You're at the LIBRARY Scribe?!?
Are you nuts? You're just begging Alberto Gonzales to slap you in a cell somewhere in Albania.
We can't have our citizens engaging in subversive activities like research or learning about things now, can we?
I had a really bad experience with E-bay, was enuff to delete myself and never go back. Be careful shipping out of the country...It wasn't a pleasant experience for me...
