it’s been like two years. fucker should be reciting pynchon by now.

so I’ll go by my recollection. If you want to correct me that’d be fine.

since I have not seen a pot pie. My bad if that was not the case. And your English sucks. ;)

Sure Buehrle would draw attention to himself if he showed up at a Chicago club, and probably in the more populated corners of Missouri as well, but calling him and his wife celebrities is a bit of a stretch in my opinion. It’s not like paparazzi are waiting outside the gates of chateau de burlzz to snap a shot of the happy family for this week’s US Weekly.

I get it that in the literal definition of the word, they are, but I think the word celebrity has taken a new meaning with the glut of people in the world with a modicum of fame and a sizable bank account. I just don’t think the Buehrles are turning too many heads when they go out to dinner… unless they roll up in Mark’s truck, that eyesore does nothing but attract attention!

I don’t know how you concluded that I didn’t see any problems with having money; based only on my comments that it certainly takes away a shit-ton of basic everyday problems that MOST of us have to encounter.

That’s my problem here…I didn’t say much at all. It was a joke that you misconstrued to then imply that I am narrow-minded about the topic. I wasn’t judging her at all. I was replying to you saying what a fine woman Mrs B was because of this great gift she got Mark. Well, honestly, if I was married into money, you’d all get some pretty nice gifts and I wouldn’t be a better person for being able to spend my husband’s money.

I don’t envy a single celebrity actor or singer, etc. I don’t envy that high-profile public lifestyle at all; especially not for the simple fact that those people have money.

I firmly believe that money does not buy happiness; but I also firmly believe that having no money nearly guarantees misery in this country. It hangs over your head every waking moment, and keeps you awake when you should be sleeping.

And like Hazy just said and what I said earlier – Mrs B is NOT a celebrity. She is married to an athlete, and might have to deal with a degree of spotlight for that reason… but certainly not on a scale where I feel sorry for her overall lifestyle.
