something for nothing?
I'm not looking for something for nothing. However, if you'd like to send the following items over I would appreciate it.
I could use a gallon of Benjamin Moore Aura paint in a medium gray tint. Don't have the money for Aura? Neither do I. Super Spec will do just fine. Same shade, please.
If you have a clothes dryer you're not using, I could use it. If you have two clothes dryers you're not using, I'm pretty sure my roomie downstairs would love to have it. If you'd feel really good about buying me the shiny new red front-loader washer and dryer, by all means, who am I to deny you?
I could use a car that doesn't get ten miles to the gallon. I love my truck, but I'd like to park it more than I drive it. My roomie again could also use a newer car. If you have a couple laying around, feel free to drop them off here.
Another handy thing to have would be bathroom vanities. I'm in the market for two of these. I will probably need a couple of pieces of drywall, too. If you're shopping at the home improvement stores and feel the sudden urge, I'd appreciate having them.
Or you could write me a check for $10,000. I could do plenty with that.
Of course these are things I'd like to have. I don't NEED them. I'm getting along fine without them. And what I'm grateful for is that I have my truck. I'm grateful for the house I have to put those things in. I'm thankful for the walls and for plenty of room to hang up the laundry for now. I'm blessed to have so much when so many have so little. It seems kind of greedy to ask for things; these are all first-world problems.
I thought about this because I complained to a paint manufacturer about what I feel is an inferior product. They keep asking me all these questions. All I wanted to do was tell them I didn't like their product based on my experience using it vs. another product. I don't want something for nothing.
I bought and used this product. I can't put it back in the can. I will use what's left when I finally get around to painting the bathroom in a few weeks. I'll just use it first because I know it won't work well if I paint the walls first. I learned a lesson.
Sometimes it's just best to be thankful for what you do have and not let what you want detract from that gratitude.
