improve something for me? Is it worth it??

I guess that is my unspoken philosophy as well.


Maybe I just don't perceive as much as 'change'. I look at new tech
when it is shown to me or something I am actively seeking, which is
infrequent. I consider how it may better assist me, cost to me (not
just flat price) and do I ultimately need it.

I'd probably fall nto that same camp. One thing that I know I am not is
that I am not the guy who will embrace something new, simply because it is
something new. Sure don't like hearing that I am some sort of phobic, or
that I am somehow a lesser person simply because I do not jump to embrace
all of these new (not so valuable) things. I sometimes wonder what people
actually do look when they make decisions on new technologies.


My husband has bought me things that I have returned to the store
(yes, I am a weird one and he has been unhappy about it), but if I
don't need it or we're better off with the cash, then I can't justify
keeping it. I guess I am frugal. Then again, I did pass the half a
century mark already. Is that still old? ;-)

Hell No! I passed the half centrury mark a while ago, and am on the brink
of the next decade. I consider half cenury people to be the best.
