Some people buy because it fills a void. Some people upgrade because bigger is better, right?Heidihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15867452531959416363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1134409529300874303.post-1350051743470130892008-11-02T20:09:00.000-08:002008-11-02T20:09:00.000-08:00I don't watch TV, so I can't compare much ...I don't watch TV, so I can't compare much today, except periodically I'll watch 20 minutes of a football game with my husband and be appalled at the commercials. Anyway, my dad watches GSN, so I see the old reactions, and just can't believe how worked up these people get over refrigerators and microwaves. Completely different way of life than I have ever had.<br><br>Who cleans the 5000 square feet for two people? If they do, they can't have a life.

Its sad, cause no matter how much you buy it will never be enough.

It would be interesting to see commercials from the 70's, when game shows were in their prime.<br><br>Around here we have A LOT of people like your friends... they have McMansions and giant SUVs for their 1.5 children and all their stuff. It's nuts. Their mortgages are larger than some of those grand prizes back on those 70's game shows. Of course many of these people are now realizing that might have been a bad idea...Sharonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16044958690543211471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1134409529300874303.post-40763980479995013352008-10-28T07:54:00.000-07:002008-10-28T07:54:00.000-07:00Coooome On Down!!!That's all that comes to min...Coooome On Down!!!<br><br>That's all that comes to mind.<br><br>XOXO,<br>CPCocaine Princesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10512654768220278663noreply@blogger.com
