A nice steak sounds good. Fresh grilled filet mignon with sauteed shrooms....

Susan D.,

And no, I don't have cows, which is beneficial in that they'll never come home.... :wink:

You thought I was going to be so distracted by that filet mignon that I would forget to eliminate your thread kill ownership, eh? ;)

So let's talk about the world's first billion dollar home that is being built in India. (worth $2 billion).

http://www.financialpost.com/news/story.html?id=485502

Three children, 400,000 square foot of living space. Excessive much? Meanwhile, a 1/3 of all India lives below the poverty level.

I can't imagine how much wealth one would be surrounded by that they would be completely insensitive about the need for valuable resources in the world today. Some say "but they made it, they can spend however they way." But this excessive example of conspicious consumption kinda makes me want to throw up.

It's a text emoticon thing that has a resemblance to a cat.

It's used a lot (in some online groups) when being cute or commenting on something being cute.


Here's a fun list:

Okay, cuz it kind of looks like a bunny rabbit too.... ;)

Froggie,

It makes me think that wanting 2000 sf for a family of 6 is A-Okay. :shock:

Okay, now that I've gone and looked, I think I'm going to be sick....

It's actually Japanese, whose emoticons are horizontal instead of vertical and who have different conventions for visual representations of emotions, many of which are derived from anime.
