Family Lives Without Money by Choice and Thrives? I ran across an interesting story but I believe it is filled with some misconceptions about a truth we can achieve. We can live without money or the burden society places on us. But first let me show you some excerpts of the story so you can follow along. Family Lives Without Money—By Choice—and Thrives By Beth Greenfield, Shine Staff A Berlin family of three has been living on practically nothing but love and the goodwill of others for more than two years and counting—not as a victims of the rough economy, but as activists who are on a money strike to protest what they call our “excess-consumption society.” “As consumers, we support the system, and we are all responsible for making a wasteful society,” Raphael Fellmer, 29, told Yahoo! Shine. “This strike is to inspire other people to reflect about our other possibilities.” Fellmer, who said he’d held jobs since he was 12 years old, began his protest after years of working

Funny picturs and images.... My little man, Love you dude.

Why do I hate Valentine’s Day but love this card! You have to admit, Valentine’s Day has a bad ugly history –the beheading of a priest, Rome telling people they can’t marry, and oh, let’s not forget that little massacre in the back ally. Let’s face it people the only reason Romeo and Juliet is considered a romantic play is because they die in the end. That is correct I said it- they die so it’s romantic because we can fantasize about all the things that could have been. When in fact, we all know the truth…. Marriage, mortgage, 2.5 kids, trips to all these places you really do not want to attend and yes – celebrating days like valentines. I love my wife, but really, I know for a fact that my wife is not waiting for Valentine’s Day for me to show her affection. She reminds me on many occasions that she wants me not to say I love her but show her I love her (did I say she wants this ‘every day’). It just bothers me that people want to make a big issue out of one day – when in truth

Review of: Five Guys hanburgers & fries “Five Guys – we just have to go dad, it’s the best” screams out the daughter from the back seat. “Yeah honey I hear it’s great. We have to try it” the wife chimes in.   The son, he doesn’t care where we go, he just wants to eat. Me, I want to go home but why not – let’s make the family happy , spend some time together and maybe I will get a great experience I can blog about (I thought to myself). So what happened? How did it go? Was it all that cracked up to be? Well, let me start off with – it’s a good burger. I had the large (which basically means two beef patties – the small comes only with one) with sautéed onions, lettuce, tomato, and beacon with A1 sauce.   I like the idea that it is all cooked in peanut oil to help with cholesterol (considering what I am eating). The idea that you pay one price and add all the toppings you want sounds good but the price (I am sure) already factors in the topping – so I wouldn’t say you

Looking at the photo below you would think that this was a cute, lovely young lady. Yeah the funny face is odd with the eyes all .... Well you know. The point being there are millions of women in the world who would die to have fare skin, blue eyes and what many would consider a pretty face. So will someone to me the logic behind this story? Man inks his name on girl's face the day they meet because that's love You might think a tattoo artist who got international attention after being accused (albeit falsely) of inking 56 stars on a girl's face without her permission would be cautious about permanently marking up women. But love is stronger than logic, so that is not the case with Ruslan Toumaniantz. The Belgium-based tattoo artist is back in the spotlight after scrawling his first name across the face of his Russian girlfriend, Lesya, on the very first day they met in person, with her consent. (See the photos above.) The couple connected online and corresp

I just received a bunch of pictures of the snow that fell up north. My friends and family are struggling through some tough times. But I have to admit that I sort of miss the snow. It’s been about 8 to 10 years since I have really seen snow (you know, something you can play in, build a snow man with…). While I feel bad for all of them and I am sure if I lived there I would be just as miserable as they all are but- I wish I could play in that snow……
