The opposite reaction is the one of Scrooges who assert that people in bad situations are there purely by their own fault or decision. Neither is true. Perhaps the quote should be that every chosen lifestyle is an Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02646936995485109020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9020257.post-1150945571551727402006-06-22T04:06:00.000+01:002006-06-22T04:06:00.000+01:00Hi Cheryl,Glad to see you up and well. :) I trie...Hi Cheryl,<BR/><BR/>Glad to see you up and well. :) I tried to post to another blog entry recently, but Blogger decided it wanted the day off.<BR/><BR/>As for lifestyles, they are indeed an investment.
