Dude......
There are millions of people in the United States that dont even have
heat in their homes because of poverty. Yet you come on here whining
about getting cold feet when stepping out of a shower. Apparently
your mother never taught you about throw rugs. Go to your local
dollar store and buy a friggin rug for one or two bucks and get on
with life. Otherwise, you can always rent a room room at an expensive
classy motel for $2000 per night and always have toasty warmth against
your tootsies by enjoying their throw rugs, and they even supply
enough towels to place several on top of their rugs.

Dude.....
There are billions of people in the world that dont even have computers
in their home because of poverty. Yet people whine about their
problems every day on newsgroups such as alt.computer?

Or... or.. how about this?

There are millions of people in Africa that dont even have homes
because of poverty. Yet people whine about their problems every day on
this newsgroup?

Spoken like someone whose mother used to say: "Think of all the starving
people in Africa! Eat your beets!"

The relative condition of those with lesser resources is irrelevant. If they
insist in living in cold-water flats, that's their choice and has no bearing
on whether I wrap myself in a Pierre Cardin bathrobe or at ratty towel.

Well, ignoring the "it's their choice" part, true enough. But I think the
real point was typically when one is cold, they turn up the heat, or if
one's feet are cold, they get a fuzzy rug. Not exactly rocket science.

If I pay $2000 / night, I expect something beside a coupla rugs to keep me
warm...if you get my drift.
