now I'm thinking about cinnamon toast. :)


Mmm, cinnamon bread. I had an older friend that used to make that for me, but that was many years ago.

Which remnds me of an amusing story - or at least it is amusing to me.
Back when I was finishing off college and only working part time when I could, we just had my spouses paycheck and we made it ok but did not have any extra money. Well for Christmas I made all our friends cinnamon rolls from my grandmother's recipe. It took some time to knead and let them rise twice plus all effort of rolling them out but it was fairly cheap -- except for the butter; it had a little over a stick of butter per pan.

So after I graduated and got a job, I didn't have time to make the cinnamon rolls but I had money to buy my friends gifts. However, they got all upset because they all wanted more sweets :) So now, when we get the chance, my daughter and I make rolls to give out along with the presents.

I am not a fan of Pap John's Pizza, but they make an absolutely wonderful cinnamon pie. OMG, it is almost like sex. A big pizza sized cinnamon bun! :cool:

/waves to the sleepy-eyed Tex. :)

If Claire and Tex are headed back to bed, can we all just take a day off and pile in bed together? Maybe watch a silly movie or tell stories. It may not be a productive day but I am sure it will be a moral booster :D

But if you want to have an idea what was actually happening in that pic, you have to rotate it 90 degrees counter-clockwise ;)))))))))

Ouch! I just read your blog, Claire. Good luck with the money issues! I really feel for you, girl.

One time when I was really struggling, and even buying food was a problem, an older friend said to me, "Oh, well! You only have *money* troubles!" as if I had nothing to complain about.

At that moment I wanted to smack him, but afterward I knew what he meant.

Toby Kieth - "Can't Buy You Money"
(I did not see a you tube link or anything so no video)

I got a sweet little woman at home
She knows that I love her true
I got three little kids on the floor
And they love there daddy too
I got one on the way and I don’t think I can pay the doctor bill
I never finished paying the last one off
Don’t guess I ever will

Yeah, we'd save it all up for a rainy day
But it’s always sunny
Guess all the happiness in the world
Can’t buy you money

I got an old work truck
It'll barely get me to town and back
I try to put in a little more over time
But that don’t pay no jack
So I bring it home
Were my baby got's my hot supper cooked
Then I lay down and rest my weary bones
And get back up at six

Just workin’ hard in the land of milk and honey
Hey, all the happiness in the world
Can’t buy you money

But if I had plenty
I could keep us afloat
Then in the end if my ship don’t come in
I’d just buy a bigger boat
I ain’t got no money
I’m knee deep in debt
We must be livin’ on love from above
Cause we ain’t hit bottom yet

I pick my paycheck up and go straight to the bank
That’s my usual route
Then I go home and pick up the wife and kids
Cause we’re goin’ out
It’s a drive through window
And pick out a combo super size
Swing on down to the walWmart
Let the kids pick out a prize
My truck broke down at the red light
She thinks it’s real funny
Yes, all the happiness in the world can’t buy you money

Yeah we'd save it all up for a rainy day
But it’s always sunny
Guess all the happiness in the world
Can’t buy you money

That clown reposted yet again, and my pictures overlooked.

Yes, I repeat myself. Sorry.
Lexxi, you get far far more comments on your pics than I could ever hope for on mine. I'm sure pretty much everyone notices even in those times when one of us is truly skimming to catch up - but we just don't always have something interesting to say and I don't like just always saying "nice pic".

And one last thing and am going to bed...

Do we have a lawyer type peep amongst us? We kid with Trout but is he an RL lawyer? i can't recall- anyhoo.. I have some quasi legalese SL related questions and while i shared the stuff in question with my SO's I wd love a genuinely legal eagle type to throw in his or her two L's.
I think Trout really is a lawyer, but not sure what kind - real estate or contract law maybe. We do have a few others, but again, not sure what their specialties are --- you probably do not want a RL divorce lawyer for something in SL

It always seems to magnify itself when stressed, I bet once I sit down with the bank and work it all out, it wont nearly be as bad as I imagined. And we've been worse off than I am now and we've got through it, I'm sure it'll be fine.
*hugs* Claire.

I've 2 kids in college and definitely understand the financial woes they go thru, especially my son since he kind of screwed around in high school and so now doesn't get as many scholarships due to grades. I help here and there, but only when it seems really really bad to me -- and he is getting creative on how to budget money and shop.

I will offer this to go with that:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SMwZsFKIXa8

Can't Buy Me Love
The Beatles

Can't buy me love, love
Can't buy me love

I'll buy you a diamond ring my friend if it makes you feel alright
I'll get you anything my friend if it makes you feel alright
'Cause I don't care too much for money, money can't buy me love

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you love me too
I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you
I don't care too much for money, money can't buy me love

Can't buy me love, everybody tells me so
Can't buy me love, no no no, no

Say you don't need no diamond ring and I'll be satisfied
Tell me that you want the kind of thing that money just can't buy
I don't care too much for money, money can't buy me love
