Why don't people except others for who they are?
This doesn't include everyone. Why are people so into others with money and sooner or later that subject has something to do with a relationship. To me I don't care if your poor or rich , I work hard for what I have and it doesn't bother me if I can't do everything. Just blowing off some steam.

Excuse me Moon I do have kids and thats not really what I meant.My kids come first in my life and they are always taken care of. But you know my divorce set me back more than $100,000 . I am not like those that don't wanna work either for along part I was working 84 hours a week till my last heart attack. So I guess that brings out another question is more important to work all those hours or actully be home once in awhile so you kids get to actually see you?

Moon would be the one to talk to, doode...she's been through so much that would make anyone analyze their life and just life in general.....and we're very grateful and happy to have both of you still here with us!!!

Re: Why don't people except others for who they are?
I agree with Chazzy, I'm glad that Moon and you are both here with us. Me personally, I don't care if your rich, poor or what. It's you that I want to talk, walk, or what ever with, not your damn money. I'm neither rich nor poor, I have to work scrimp and save for everything that I want to have or need to have. And Hardrock is right, money will never buy happiness. Actually, money is the root of all evil.

Re: Re: Why don't people except others for who they are?
In the end we all leave with nothing. No one would want a grave stone reading "If I could only have made more money, I'd be happier now" I hope mine can read "Here lies a poor SOB who was loved by many"

Re: Why don't people except others for who they are?
DEye - it would be very fitting because you are!! I've missed not being on here as much - it's good to see your face (and everyone elses too!)
Now as for the money thing - we both came from nothing and have worked our butts off to have the t  hings we have. However, we have always said that if we went back to having to live in the situations that we came from we would make it just fine as long as we had each other. And, that is NOT a cliche its how we really feel.

Re: Why don't people except others for who they are?
urs, we get what you're saying. There are some people out there that are just too damn materialistic, women AND men, who don't care about anything else! Here's a test for ya'.... and it may sound stupid but it'll give you a good idea of the person you want to date.......
Take her on a picnic near a lake where fishing is allowed.... see if she baits her own hook. If she doesn't wanna get her hands dirty, RUN!!! Unless you like a "prissy" women, for lack of a better term..... Of course, that may not make her materialistic, but my sister in law won't do it and she drains my brother's bank account DRY! The bitch!!!
Seriously, though... it's kinda hard to tell in the beginning how a person will be. You just have to take a chance. Hell, get her a cheeseburger from McDonalds and see if she'll eat it...... Tell her you're a little low on cash this week so, if it's okay with her, maybe y'all can rent a movie and stay home.
Just my 2 cents

Re: Why don't people except others for who they are?
I think everyone meant well, and they did all have a common thread with every reply...personal priorities....
and how we very much agree that no matter how high a person's financial worth might be, it does not make them worth more as fellow human.
...and...there's always gonna be someone around here ready and willing to listen anytime you wanna "blow off some steam". !!

Re: Why don't people except others for who they are?
People can be very shallow......And those people are the ones who will marry for money.....Unlike those of us who look for love.......We know love has no price!....People like that will NEVER know what it feels like to love someone.....But only know how to love what that "someone" can give them.....
In the end......they are the ones that will lose in life!

Re: Why don't people except others for who they are?
Moonhowler - your fishing analogy was great!! I love being the type of woman that can bait my own hook, enjoy a bumpy ride in a 4-wheel drive (which ever kinda ride you want it to be  ) and get dressed up and have fun all in the same day!

Re: Why don't people except others for who they are?
While I don't neccessarily bait my own hook all the time,anymore, I used to, when I was younger. I was a tomboy, played with cars, got into mudfights, climbed trees, etc. I agree with CK, even now, I love to get dirty, then get cleaned up and wow 'em.
my philosophy in life tends to be:
Growing old is mandatory, growing up, is NOT!
