[Nettie Belle]

Let's all stand and bow our heads, and repeat after me ...

God, grant me the serenity to accept the props I have already charged,
the ability to charge the things I cannot afford,
and the wisdom to know how to use the props once I get them home.

And also, help me to be careful of the salesmen I meet
today who are sure I need this prop and are willing to help me
Find the perfect prop, and
To know I really don’t need it, even with a 98% discount.

And help me to remember...
When I'm having a really bad day,
and it seems that shopping for props is fun, but it
takes 42 muscles to smile at the sales person
And 98 to frown once I get home and try to figure out why I have it.

Amen.


I think a group hug is in order.
