    Do you have kids? If so, you tell them you love them, then they hear you say you love this cheese, or you love this chair or whatever. That puts them on a level of cheese and furniture. It’s unhealthy to love an object on your own part as well. It’s just a thing is all I’m saying. Things can be replaced, people can’t.

      Not arguing. Only cats, but I tell them each how much I love them several times a day and almost never have a conversation with my gun 😉

        I talked to mine in Iraq all the time. But right on. I just remember as a kid anything I broke “I loved that lamp!” “I loved that refrigerator!” Yeah the refrigerator that had spent 4 years unplugged in the garage that I dented. It’s just the wording. I may be sensitive to it but I never say I love things, even movies or songs around my son.

          Yeah, my childhood was filled with endless disappointments for… well, 50% of my folks. Couldn’t do right if I tried, so I just stopped trying. I like your philosophy, save it for the things in your life that truly matter :-)
