No one is totally innocent of snobbery .. <BR/><BR/>and now I'm confused because I'm wondering, like Cristin, is being a b-witch, the same as being a snob? Because I KNOW I can be one of those every now and then .. but I usually keep most of that in my head.

We were on a tight budget, and we just found that we got a lot more house and yard for the same price if we moved into the burbs. Also, you pay less if you're willing to move into an area that's still being developed. You can cut a lot of expense if you're willing to live with a lot of inconvenience for awhile.Momma Trishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01047263656994476297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8838173868484267731.post-15904833537246637542008-11-12T00:01:00.000-06:002008-11-12T00:01:00.000-06:00I've tried learning not to say "I will never...." ...I've tried learning not to say "I will never...." because every darn time I say it, I end up doing it. <BR/><BR/>I think the area I'm a snob the most are "good" neighborhoods vs. "bad" neighborhoods.

I don't need to spend major bucks - but for $15, you can get a great wine that won't give you a headache the next day. And, Suzie - you can chill a light bodied red for about an hour just to take the edge off. We drink our reds too hot and our whites too cold here in this country. Room temperature (ave. 72 degrees) is too hot for wine.<BR/><BR/> I am a cork dork. Sorry.<BR/><BR/>I was also a suburb snob - and even though I live in the burbs, in a P.U.D. (planned urban development) which I used to call a Poltergeist neighborhood...I do like having neighbors, and cul de sacs so kids can safely play.Swirl Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18241915723936809627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8838173868484267731.post-78954134599486307482008-11-11T18:42:00.000-06:002008-11-11T18:42:00.000-06:00I am the worst kind of snob.

You have a knack to make people open up. I am a snob about parents smoking around their kids. I am also a soda snob. My son is 5 years old and he has NEVER even tasted soda. what's the point really.

And are snobs :-)<BR/><BR/>I am sorta snobby when it comes to somethings. Like I would much rather throw money at something if it makes it easier for me. Like I never thrift shop. I don't have the time, energy, or vision for the hunt. I just want, what I want, where I expect to find it.<BR/><BR/>I am snobby about comfort too. I like my comfortable bed.
