Today's Mon Funday must be prefaced. When this glob was created back in August of 2006, there was a group of us who became a tight-knit group of glob-buds. Probably because we all started globbing within a couple years or so of each other, so we bonded. I'll not try to list everyone because someone will be left out. Any of them still around who reads this will let you know who they are if they comment today. These bloggers and readers have been religiously reading and/or commenting here for quite sometime. There aren't that many, but they are here everyday.
With that being said, it is with GREAT JOY that I've come across some new glob-buds. I've not ventured out in a very long time to find new globs to leave my profound comments concerning their posts, so when I found that someone had invited me to join in today's Mon Funday, a Happy Dance ensued. At any rate, may I introduce you to:
These gals are hosting today and here is their challenge:
Splurge vs Steal . . . List five things you are willing to spend your hard earned cash on and five things you would rather steal (hypothetically) than waste your money on.
H-m-m-m.
I decided to conduct a survey. Here are some of the results:
Willing to spend hard earned cash on:
(in no particular order)
beer
magnesium anodes
travel
massages & other spa services
clothes
hobbies/entertainment
foodie foods
children/friends
organizations/non-profits
books / magazines
items to sell on E-Bay
cable TV/ internet / netflix
education
chocolate
housekeeping / chauffeuring services
food delivery services
Willing to 'steal' (hypothetically) than waste money on:
(in no particular order)
medical bills
taxes
office supplies
food
clothes
gasoline
rent/house payment
attorney fees
utility bills
transportation
car
maintenance for cars/house
Thank you to everyone who participated in my random survey !
Here is my list of what I'll gladly hand over cash to have:
1. Anything for my children/grandchildren
2. Medical research to keep all of us healthy/To cure something
3. Dogs/Books/Hobbies/Travel/ Entertainment/Internet
4. Gardening Supplies & Tools/Bird Feeders & Seed/Home Decorating
5. Life-long Learning Classes/Education/Gym/Yoga
As for me, it was difficult to process "stealing hypothetically." That phrase just would NOT register in my brain that I could be allowed to steal, even hypothetically.
Here is my list of what I would steal:
1. a kiss
2. third base
3. glance/look
4. the show
5. a heart
6. a basketball (defensive player from offensive player)
What would you spend your money on and what would you 'steal?'
