Well, my daughter and myself recently moved lock, stock, and barrel from Portugal to Ireland. Everything we owned fitted into nine suitcases. That's it. Three of those nine suitcases were cabin sized. Only two of them were the size you normally check-in size. Those suitcases contained our sheets, blankets, kitchenware, clothes, etc.

We don't own TVs, cars, and too many things to mention. When living in America, my eco-footprint was 10% of the average American.

That said, I've never met anyone who has asked me if I'm busy, and I don't think I've ever asked anyone that, so are you sure of what you say?

I guess I must be weird. I do agree that some people (maybe a lot of people) think I'm weird. Not for all the tea in China would I swap my lifestyle for theirs. I see stress eating them up. I see inadequacy dominating their psyche. Thanks, but no thanks.
