That moment when your Nephew hits you in the face with a basketball and you think to yourself my gosh I am the real life Marcia Brady now, lol! Oh my cheek!!! (P.S. All jokes aside, it really does hurt!)

Unfortunately I don't understand what that choice represents.
And I don't understand this choice either.And if I had to choose between Ginger and Mary Ann ... it'd definitely be Mary Ann.
If I had to choose between Daphne and Velma, I'd choose Velma. But that's a choice between the Pretty Girl and the Nerdy Girl, rather than anything to do with wealth. Velma just seems more likely to be interesting, and I think I could relate to her better.
As for wealth, I think people with similar levels of wealth are more likely to have a similar outlook on life and money management. Although that's not guaranteed. Certainly you can find people who have a small income and know how to make it go a long way, and people with a huge income who manage to squander most of it. From that point of view it may be best to find someone who has a similar approach to money management.
I think one of the biggest differences is that very wealthy people tend to pay people to do stuff and solve their problems, because they value time, and they can have more time if they pay someone else to clean their u-bend and fix their car. I'm a bit odd in that respect, because I'm very independent, and I do most things myself. If my car needs servicing or repairing, I do it myself.
I once had a girlfriend who liked that I took her on days out using my car, but got agitated when I spent a long time repairing the car. She couldn't understand why I didn't just do what almost everyone else does, and pay someone else to repair it, or buy a new car. But the thing is, some of the people she compared me to had large credit card debts, and owed a lot on payment schemes for cars, whereas I never owed anyone anything in relation to my car.

An Internet outage would not hurt my feelings. For once, I hope the rumors are true.

Archie Comics. Betty is the sweet girl next door type, whereas Veronica is more wealthy and worldly. Both have a crush on Archie, and try to outdo each other to win his affection.
You raise a great point about money management. I agree that couples should be on the same page as each other when it comes to financial responsibility. How a woman manages her money, and how it influences her attitude toward others, is more important to me than whether she is rich or poor. From what I've seen, being poor or rich is no guarantee that somebody won't squander their savings.
If you can fix your own car and do your own home maintenance, you're ahead of the game, as far as I'm concerned. I have a similar mindset, and save thousands that way. Mostly through doing my own home repairs and upkeep, but I also change my car's oil, belts, and other minor things. Could I pay somebody else to do it? Sure, but I'd rather not unless the job is beyond my capability. There's something to be said for self-reliance and learning new skills.
Speaking of time, time spent learning something, and getting exercise by doing the work yourself, is time well spent. Congrats on not having car payments. Keep the money coming in higher than the money going out. Unfortunately, so many seem to overlook this. Living below one's means pays off in the long run.

What is wrong, GodDoesListen?
So, to be honest, I do not really know. I have just been like super emotional recently and feeling like a total failure.

Praying for you. I don't know if it means anything but I have been second-guessing every conversation that I've been having with people. Even though I was recognized at a leaders conference yesterday I even felt down about that and even accomplishing 15.5 mi. for a 13.1 event.
Sometimes there is a spiritual battle going on around us that we're not even aware of. I will be taking the media break coming up this next week and I will be spending some time in continued prayer, even though I won't be here to communicate with you. Just know that I will be lifting you up!

Thank you SO much, sampa! I have just been really trying to stay strong and not focus on what is going on in my head. But, you know sometimes that's hard when that little voice just keeps on getting louder and louder no matter how many times you tell her to sit down and be quiet.

Yes, I totally get that and I can relate. We can be our own worst enemy. Just keep filling yourself with God's word. If you don't know where to start Psalms is a good place. That got me through one of my darkest times back in 2006, I was 33yrs old. Praying for you dear.

My newest painting project has arrived. It was printed on a 4k resin printer, so the detail is great. This one will take some time to prep prior to painting.
Subject? Spoiler?
...it's the cover artwork. A model of the cover artwork. Crom laughs at your puny art projects. Laughs from his mountain.

I've finished my second plush bee.
This one was made with the pattern at 150% size. The only real change made to the pattern was that I reversed the antennae so they would look less like horns. Here's a comparison of the two bees:
I won't be posting the pattern in my blog right away because I still need to make a tutorial for it, but I'll try to do that as soon as I can.
