Me spoiled?

[(Anonymous)]

This is not an accurate picture of me.

If you Have or have done more than 40 on this list, you are a spoiled brat. Have or have done? Have done, I counted more than 65. I never thought I was spoiled then. Fortunate, yes! Lucky? Definitely. Even now, I have or can count about 38 to 42 items on the list.

Some things such as attending private schools should not be included. I went to the schools my parents sent me to. How would you be expected to ski without skis? (had a cousin do this barefoot quite well!)

Great list, just not an accurate picture maker!

I know ... I mean I USED to have a hammock. The ex has it now - does that mean he's spoiled? Maybe? The only reason we don't have a DVD in the bedroom is we have On Demand so we really don't need it.

I also think this is more geared to the younger crowd.
