Stages of Grief Can Be Likened to a Pinball Machine
« on: September 25, 2012, 11:44:27 PM »
Ha, just stumbled on this article:

http://www.baylor.edu/mediacommunications/news.php?action=story&story=122773

The five stages of grief -- denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance

Can you all relate these stages of grief with a pinball machine? Hopefully no machine is damaged during the anger stage.

OK, here is my scenario:

Denial - No I am not a pinball addict! Those 45 pinnies in my collection are just a hobby.

Anger - Alright, I will sell one before I buy my next NIB.

Bargaining - Yes dear, I will ring the builder and get a quote for the home extensions, as long as I can keep my favourites.

Depression - Jees, just got the quote from the builder, I need to get a second mortgage!

Acceptance - My wife was right, I need to sell my collection to meet repayments.
