Material Things.. Are they that Important?

I live with very little comfort items and materiel things... Fancy cell phones and such do not impress me.. Just a way for the government to keep up with me, and even though I have nothing to hide, I do value my privacy... I do NOT have fancy clothes, shoes, haircut and makeup... I am what I am a middle aged woman sure of herself and her path I have a killer sense of humor.. a way with animals and kids and I am a plain jane with a beautiful soul...I live to let live and encourage others to do the same.. I am a advocate of free speech and expression... I can raise a herd of cattlr, rids a horse and shoot a gun as well as a bow... I can play pool with the best of some and not as good as most.. I write poems and lyrics that will make you stand up nad take notice.. I an I mother, a lover a friend.. In saying all ir this, I ask you to share yourself,,, what have you got to lose??

I request no name calling and derogatory comments... We are all special and therefore should be able to toot our on horn from time to time...

OH YEAH... I'm an awesome cook, too! :)

I was not aware that you are a nursing student . . . good for you! You're a very knowledgable person, which you left out . . . learning more every day (my great moto). Good luck with the nursing and you are a one of a kind!
A great teacher and friend too. . .
Blessings,

I do have a fancy for jewelry, but it depends on the person getting it for me and the sentimental value. Not the price tag. Makeup is also another weakness of mine, but again. I go for what works, not the most expensive. I suppose I am just a tad materialistic. I wish I weren't.; ▶ Reply to This

Outside beauty always fades.. Inner beauty is forever. It just take s special person to see it.; ▶ Reply to This

The few things I do have are nice, like a new computer, TV, game systems, and what not. I like to live comfortable, I don’t find it as a weakness. My wife on the other hand is very Materialistic, I don’t care about all the fancy stuff she likes and what not but I still buy them for her. If it makes her happy then I am happy. As for the whole government thing I think you’re just paranoid.; ▶ Reply to This

And it never hurts to be a little paranoid when the government id involved.. they only care for self and their cronies. But I could just be paranoid here... GGEEEZZZ man... I grew up with an accountant father who was part of the political system.. he warned me.. did you think I just pulled this out of my butt?; ▶ Reply to This

Nothing good ever comes of it and some get their feelings hurt.. Just the way of life.. If you want to keep on thinking me paranoid... fine with me... A little paranoia never hurt anyone.. I don't see me as much paranoid as I see me as a realist.; ▶ Reply to This
