    Seriously, I was brought up to NEVER envy anyone...I guess my mom and dad wanted their kids to know that no one is better then us and that we are not better then anyone! Although some people get jealous of someone and to tell you the truth, I only get jealous of people who win the lottery....I don't wish I were someone else EVER, but I do wish I could win some big money. It sure would be nice..:)

    I could read 8 pages but I don't feel like it...dinner is cooking. :)

    there is a difference between envy and jealousy, in my eyes. Yup, I'm envious of people who win the lottery "think about how I'd spend the money". But jealousy is bred from insecurity. If you're secure in who you are, there's no need to be jealous of anyone else.

    dinner is done!
    believe it or not, we don't "need" anything. that is only the spoiled brat in us trying to fill some temporary solution to an emptyness that does not exist.

    Jealousy sucks...I often wonder why people act jealous of me (like constantly trying to get me into trouble with the boss/supervisor at work, or spreading lies about me around the office)...we're in our late 30's/early 40's! Don't they have anything better to do than worry about what's going on in my life? It's not my fault they don't have awesome husbands who care about their feelings, or that they live in crappy houses, and can't take off to a concert whenever they want. Make your own life better instead of trying to screw up mine!

    I am nothing special compared to my co-workers. I viewed us all as equals - and it would never occur to me to go telling on any of them just because they had something I didn't... Life is too short to worry about what's going on in someone else's house... I got reemed out by the boss a couple of weeks ago, with her threatening to fire me, because of hearsay from my co-workers - I was told that I could no longer bring my laptop to work, and I had to take down all my Pearl Jam photos (that either my husband or I took) from my cubicle because it "offended" someone. They must have absolutely perfect lives if they can worry about shit like that...

    End of rant...thanks...
