In Reply to: But think of the fringe benefits........... sm - m

1) 'We can type in our jammies if we want'.
WHAT IT MEANS: I live my life in my bedroom. Sleep, wake up, type, type, type, go to bed. Why even bother to get dressed?

2) 'We can be home for our kids.'
WHAT IT MEANS: They're always around, because we can't afford for them to have activities like soccer, baseball, ice-skating, girl scouts, gymnastics, or summer camp.

3) 'We don't have wear and tear and gas expense for transportation to work'.
WHAT IT MEANS: The car stopped running a year ago, and I can't afford to fix it.

4) 'We can adjust our schedule to suit our needs'.
WHAT IT MEANS: We don't have timed bathroom breaks. (Or do we?) If we don't I'm sure it's coming soon.
