My 17yo thinks the quote is "money buys happiness."

I think the saying is "money does not buy happiness."

(Whether either of those two things are true is a different matter.)

Googling it, I was surprised to see both phrases seem to exist. But is one more common than the other?

Is the original quote that money DOES, or DOES NOT buy happiness?

The quote is "Money does not buy happiness"100%
The quote is "Money does buy happiness"0%

If you were in space near the ISS, and you fired a handgun, could you shoot the sun?

No, guns wouldn't fire in space.9%
No, the ISS orbit wouldn't allow you to aim at the sun.0%
No, the distance is too great.0%
No, earth's gravity is too great.63%
Yes, but it would take a long time for the bullet to reach the sun.27%

@lofty Only after I posted the message did I realize, upon careful re-reading, that your post was about you and specific people interacting on here.

Not a general invite for all of maston to leave you a message. Oops.

Regardless, here I am. The big news for me is my oldest (of 4!) children is getting married on Sunday. Which for you would be today. I'm very happy for them.
