Really cheap electricity, gas and water... No environmental taxes on those! Woohoo!

Much more freedom in life-planning: taking care by myself of health insurance, my retirement money. I love the opportunity to be self responsible.

Clothes and shoes are so CHEAP! I love it, my shoe collection grows every week!

SIGH.

It's all Little Debbie come on, they're all called Little Debbie :rolleyes:

Just like all brand tissues are kleenexes, and all soft drinks no matter cola or not are 'cokes'.

I love the central AC we have here, how the streets are not as dirty as in countries I've been to, THE MALLS, cheap cars, on-line banking...

And so many more....

Peace to All creatures great and small............................................

But when we turn to the Hebrew literature, we do not find such jokes about the donkey. Rather the animal is known for its strength and its loyalty to its master (Genesis 49:14; Numbers 22:30).

........When living in the Philippines, I could get it at Alabang Town Center, but not consistantly. When in Thailand, I'd have to get one of my Marine buddies get it for me in the Embassy Exchange, if I was lucky enough to be in Bangkok for an extended period of time.

I try to be thankful everyday, for the things we have here! "America ROCKS" :dance::dance::dance:

Yep, and I'm thankful for our nearly 100% literacy rate. Although clearly, several people have fallen through the cracks and are barely functionally literate. A lot of Americans can't punctuate a sentence or use a comma, for example.
