I tend to agree. I've known loads of dirt-poor people who were happy and carefree; and, I've known a few wealthy people who were not any happier than the next guy.

Yeah, but money can buy good meds...

Thank you for that link, Don. The first time around I think I skipped reading it because of its length. I think that HuFlungDung did a great job of summing it up: "...what you think will be great, seldom is, and what you think will be bad, is seldom as bad as expected."

In fact, it's so good that I might ask permission to use it with my signatures.

HLV's, 10EEs, FP-1s, FP-3s, etc.

Well needless to say I don’t have any of these but I am happy with my 1946 Sheldon at the moment. Although if I had one of them and screwed up it should be a very accurate screw up.
