    Unlimited Wealth.

    I have true love ow and I'd like to see how the other half lives.

    that's supposed to be "now" not "ow" but it's still damned (if unintentionally) funny.

    Good one, John. Anybody else?

    Well, having had neither until recently, I'll stick with true love. It's worth more. Never been one to care much about wealth to start with.

    Wow, the Georgia Peach reading MY blog. Welcome, Babs.

    So that's 2-0 in favor of love. Do I hear 3? Are there any dissenters?

    Wealth. I'm not looking for true love, just a frequent roll in the hay, and wealth makes for a better bed partner.

    Before I set anyone off, I just want to say that, well, frankly I don't care. I'm glad you have found true love, and that it works for you. I also do not crave cash, or work every moment to accumulate it. I just know that I've been situations where there twernt much of it, and it ain't fun.

    True love doesn't pay bills.
    True love can't put a roof over your head.
    True love doesn't send your kids to decent schools.

    I realize that I am coming from a different mindset than many. Most reading your blog are middle incomers. I was interperting this as someone who might not have as many things as we do, and tailoring my answer thusly.

    I will now put the keyboard down and take my bow.

    CHA-CHING!

    I'm with love on this.
    Been poor. Been not poor.
    Poor house with love is a far better place to live than a mid-wealthy house without love.

    I mean, dirt-poor would suck, but it's love or by myself, cause hostile home envrionments SUCK.

    Well, with unlimited wealth one could, if one didn't get greedy, help many more people on earth. However, since there is a finite amount of cash floating around, if one were to have an unlimited supply of it, that means that one's account would grow bigger at the expense of others.

    Granted, one wouldn't care, as one would vote republican.

    but I digress.

    Uhh, yeah. Math has never been my strong suit. Upon recount, we have a tie of 2-2, evenly split along gender lines.

    Who else wants to chime in?

    That's why I like you, Ted- you're a uniter, not a divider.

    Love.

    And we're at 2-3, still along gender lines. Interesting.
