My guess would be that you have cable TV, air conditioning, computers,
but no video game system. Right or wrong?

OMG, I don't have a gaming system! I am such a failure.


Hayseuss Crisco! Neither do I, cable or games.
I'm a doubly poor failure.

Then again, Sir Winston Churchill said "Success is the ability to go

the homage of reason than that of blindfolded fear.
