    girls who liked the movie "The Craft" back in the 90s, cannot be trusted- change my mind.

    I think I watched that *kitten*...don't remember it tho at all, just the name

    But Interview with a Vampire was excelente! Admit it!

    crocs are the best camping shoes- change my mind.

    you strap em to the outside of your pack, you hike in, you set up, you take off the hiking boots/trailrunners and socks, and slap the crocs on to let your feet breathe a bit. they're lightweight so they're easy to carry. but they're also rigid enough to keep your feet safe around the campsite. plus you can leave them outside the tent and if a raccoon comes along to steal one of them its not that big a deal.

    You can also use them as a croc pot to cook your beans 902l8j3gneo4.jpg

    this is oddly creepy to me

    Why would any clear thinking person want you to change your mind about purchasing a LeBaron ??

    thats just a thing people say to make u feel better when youre not independently wealthy

    I once saw this special on lottery winners and they asked this guys... "Does money buy happiness?"

    And he replied...

    th?id=OGC.b00cc4afbee880199d98dde418273ebe&pid=Api&rurl=https%3a%2f%2fmedia.giphy.com%2fmedia%2f5hsdi50ceNL0TJVgDB%2fgiphy.gif&ehk=TdTkoVJBCX0JQjN%2fazeBUjGmDJ7PXsUFluxPOfn9iTo%3d

    I'll certainly volunteer for a case study.

    I recently listened to a great course on why people think the way they do - there was a study that said 6 months after winning the lottery people's happiness level returns to where it was prior to winning.

    I've been rich & I've been poor.


    ... rich is better.


    imho - financial wealth makes happy people happier and miserable folks more miserable.

    (be careful not to fall into the trap of chasing material goods for the sake of owning material goods)

    I have seen some evidence that the threshold is 75k/year. Below that more money does make you happier, you worry less about financial difficulties and can afford the basic comforts of life. The gains in happiness from getting more money after that drops drastically.

    I am sure the exact threshold varies depending on cost of living in your area, but it seems like a sound theory.

    Yes, this..

    There's a difference between wealth you've worked hard for and suddenly coming into money from a lottery win.

    Being wealthy enough to be able to pay your bills with no worries, replace things easily when they break, not to have to budget for items.. yeah, it is good but more so that it was earnt. @Motorsheen is correct though about chasing material things for the sake of owning material things.. it can be a trap no matter where your money comes from.

    While you have shown the major flaw in my argument I still think camping stinks.

    I agree. I'm not gonna try to change your mind.

    I agree 100%.

    Camping is a ghetto sport and should be renamed: Homeless Lite

    ..... it depends on what kind of snacks and road food is onboard.
