Sunshine- I'd trade it all if it could be 1965 for one day and me fidgeting in Cain Sloan in Green Hills shopping Plaza in Nashville waiting for my mother to try dresses and then eating in the Cain Sloan restaurant upstairs. There isn't an asset in the world i would keep if it meant seeing her alive for one day (she died in '69). Photo's, my little Necktie bottle for paper clips that my son made me 12 years ago, the water pistol the kids bought me and all the other items in my nightstand are the real things of value. they are what i have ready to go for a hurricane along with important papers. I would not sell one memory of my boys growing up for any amount of money. There isn't enough to buy their lives. Screw this net worth business. I will respond to it because we have dealt with Lightning under to many names and wherever he pops up I've promised to pipe in long ago.
How could you a memory like an eight year old telling his five year old brother that his freshly painted Ceramic Turkey (Sunday School) was a cookie and then seeing the face and mouth of the five year old covered in brown paint!
Or my middle son at 5 years old telling me "Daddy I teached a Frog to swim" and then finding the frog floating upside down in your bathroom sink. Or going through toy checks before Church on Sunday only to find out ten years later how the three boys fooled you. Or a three year old demanding to go to "Nerstal Sthtudois". "I wanna go da Nerstal Sthtudios"! In the end of life, those assets will matter.
I have been so blessed in life, my screw ups were my fault. I have been triply abundantly blessed in family, sons and even employment. I can't fathom unemployment, that has to be so hard. Yes I've accrued some assets but it can all be gone in a moment. Easily. It's like i always say when someone says this or that will never happen. "You must be nuts, no ones gonna fly a plane into the World Trade Center". Assets have their place, but there is a time when they mean nothing.
Lightnings inquiry was meant to demean, not a serious question. He is not going to have ANY freedom here to put folks down. I will respond every time he pathetically pops up. There are people in here teetering on the brink and they are not gonna get pushed off the edge by anyone while i am here.
