[Dixielandjazz] Do you believe this s****?

Nope not a word of it Bill:

While it may very well be true that Money does not Buy You Happiness 
per se'  but it does seem necessary to buy most  everything that make 
us happy.

And I am indeed with you Bro. Bill & Rev. Ike as well, who says
  " If Money makes you all that miserable then by all means GIVE IT TO 
ME"

Food, Drink, music, warmth, Love, ( which can be very expensive ) 
depending upon how many wrong places you look for it in before finding 
it for FREE  HA HA !  (Tain't no such thing as Free LOVE OR FREE 
LUNCH).   We can try to buy Health , but that only makes the Doctors 
Happy not us, because no matter how many time we go back they never 
seem to fix everything in one shot.  I suppose that's why they are 
licensed to "Practice Medicine"  sometimes they get it right and 
sometime they don't and we die with the old explanation of "The 
operation was a total success but unfortunately the patient chose to 
not stick around for the results" and died prematurely by silent 
manipulations of inner suicidal tendencies of which we were not aware 
of or in control of.  Your Honor.

   Hi listmates, 
 
  Much has been made, over the years of the DJML, about the economic 
factors impinging on OKOM presentations by many of the musicians who 
frequent this forum. 
 
  There are those who love to play and will do so for free if the 
opportunity presents itself. 
 
  On the other hand there are those who maintain that these "amateurs" 
are ruining things for the rest of us. 
 
  Just to place some of this in perspective, I'm submitting a clip from 
a study I just read about concerning income distribution in Australia:

  Money doesn't buy happiness, and now there's a study to prove it. 
Australian researchers found that people in well-off Sydney are among 
the most miserable in the country, while those in some of the poorest 
areas are much more satisfied with their lives. 
 
  "Only at very, very high levels does money actually have any impact to 
act as a buffer," said Deakin University researcher Liz Eckerman. 
 
  "Money doesn't actually buy happiness and that's what was shown very 
clearly for the nearly 23,000 people we've interviewed so far," she 
told ABC radio.

 Does anybody out there actually believe any of this s***! 
 
 Respectfully submitted,

miserable burdens" Gunter
