I go with whatever is on sale, i.e. CHEAP, being in the college profession myself, and, like many, on a budget. Let me tell you, I would have to to be willing to forgo many other niceties to go lux on TP, and reduce my chocolate budget(hah, hah). It is all going to the same place, and is all disposed of anyway (I hope). Not that the soft stuff isn't awful nice . I have to say, Charmin’ is nice.

Sitting on top of Mt. Lemmon yesterday, eating a pear, looking at the beautiful mountains and enjoying the company of friends, I felt rich. Isn't that what it's really about?

I am always afraid that the rug is just about to be pulled out. So, even if I had 10 billion dollars, I would still live on a budget and keep my safety bank account for a rainy day.

We did it for a couple of years. It's just a matter of being willing to sacrifice something ELSE. But if I could pay someone to do that stuff and not have to give up something else, yeah, I'd feel pretty rich.
