Everything's more expensive, There seems to be no end To price increases on everything, (And they'll raise them tomorrow again) How a cemetary can raise it's prices, And blame it on the cost of living? I sure wish the "buck" stopped here, Anyone feel like giving? I started out with nothing, And still have most of it, We're all born naked and hungry, And that's not the worst it gets. |

We're all born naked and hungry, And that's not the worst it gets. Ain't that the truth, though? LOL I've seen pictures from back then... and I know my naked and hungry is uglier now than it was then! LOL How a cemetary can raise it's prices, And blame it on the cost of living? And Elizabeth is right, sweets... this is absolutely classic! LOL I love it! *G* But as for "Anyone feel like giving?".... just what did you have in mind, dear man???? *evil grin* This is fantastic, Toe... thanks for the smiles to start my day! |

 (big hugggssssss) Oh Toerag, it is so very saddening, sweet friend, the capitalism malevolence only grows every year and more and more people become hungry and robbed of their needs! (sigh) My heart goes out to them all, sweet friend, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Toerag, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." Shakira [This message has been edited by Mistletoe Angel (10-15-2002 05:29 PM).] |

ToeMan~ Of course you've got me laughing ....  I woke up this morning ... face to face with 'another Bill'~  LOL ! Let's hope the cost of humor doesn't rise ...~ (Well ... unless you're the comedian getting paid for it) Now there's a capital idea !!!  *Hugs* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |
