how did you ever come up with your CS handle(name) ( Archived) (52)

well either its the attitude adjusters I've consumed or my mouse has grown legs

Um, ya.... I lost my 8 yr old Golden Retriever a couple yrs ago due to health problems. My handle used to be his name. I have a love for this breed and I also want to let woman know that there may be a (gold)dog in thier future, or attract dog friendly ladies. People that like dogs generally are easier to get along with, and can handle some stray fur, mud, dogs on the bed and wet kisses in the morning.

Diogenes of Sinope

Often said to be the father of Cynicism, he attached himself, as a disciple, to Antisthenes, who was at the head of the Cynics. Antisthenes at first refused to admit him into his house and even struck him with a stick. Diogenes calmly bore the rebuke and said, "Strike me, Antisthenes, but you will never find a stick sufficiently hard to remove me from your presence, while you speak anything worth hearing." The philosopher was so much pleased with this reply that he at once admitted him among his scholars.

Contrary to the other citizens of Athens, he avoided earthly pleasures. This attitude was grounded in a great disdain for what Diogenes perceived as the folly, pretence, vanity, social climbing, self-deception, and artificiality of much human conduct. He used to stroll through the Agora with a torch at full daylight. When asked about it, he would answer "I am just looking for an honest man".

When Alexander the Great came to meet Diogenes (who reportedly lived in a tub), the story goes that Alexander, thrilled at coming face to face with the famous philosopher (in his tub), asked if there was any favour he might do for him. Diogenes replied, “Stand out of my sunlight.”

In his old age, sailing to Aegina, he was taken by pirates and carried to Crete, where he was exposed to sale in the public market. When the auctioneer asked him what he could do, he said, "I can govern men; therefore sell me to one who wants a master." Xeniades, a wealthy Corinthian, happening at that instant to pass by, was struck with the singularity of his reply and purchased him. On their arrival at Corinth, Xeniades gave him his freedom and committed to him the education of his children and the direction of his domestic concerns.

Mine was easy... I have twins and singles

I read that Scorpios are the ultimates of the zodiac...soooooooo

I was trying to find a handle on Yah** and EVERY name that I typed in was taken. So it made me mad and I just found the first word that I saw and spelled it backwards.......

I still have a Blue Ridge pattern plate my grandmother gave me when I was three. For the last several years I have been searching flea markets adding matching pieces of this paticular Blue Ridge pattern. Can't help it, I'm sentimental. Also, the scenic Blue Ridge Parkway.

It is what I do for fun . It is one of the major passions in my life .
