> there are a few items that we never buy, like sugar water, fake cheese, ready fried chicken, pink shoes, bulky armchairs, triple and quad razor blades, lite beer, fake worn-out clothes, big TVs, any content by Hollywood and/or Disney, any books on how to get rich, any barbecue starter fluid (it stinks - how can anyone eat after that is beyond me), salted butter, cake mixes, anything spectator sport related, bumper stickers, and of course, there's no way I'll ever buy an SUV, truck or any other personal tank.

We're with you on many of those. Others, not so much. I like salted butter--I view it as one of the wonderful ways of bringing salt to my body. <s>

Certainly no SUVs around here and our 13-year-old minivan finally gave up the ghost over the summer, so we're all driving mid-size cars now. I miss that van, though.
