    I talked to mine in Iraq all the time. But right on. I just remember as a kid anything I broke “I loved that lamp!” “I loved that refrigerator!” Yeah the refrigerator that had spent 4 years unplugged in the garage that I dented. It’s just the wording. I may be sensitive to it but I never say I love things, even movies or songs around my son.

      Yeah, my childhood was filled with endless disappointments for… well, 50% of my folks. Couldn’t do right if I tried, so I just stopped trying. I like your philosophy, save it for the things in your life that truly matter :-)
