RE: Do you have you any siblings......?

One younger brother and one younger sister. As the eldest, I was the "responsible" one

RE: “The unexamined life is not worth living.” Socrates 399 BCE

Thanks Roy. I have had this complex about killing threads lately, so hopefully someone will follow this most noble chain...

RE: HAPPY THANKSGIVING

Happy Thanksgiving all! Particularly....oh hell, too shy to start naming names...

Thank you - needed the laugh....

RE: If you could have a super power!

I'd have to borrow you and your powers and bring you to the office. Your power have a shotgun-type setting?

RE: “The unexamined life is not worth living.” Socrates 399 BCE

This is a great thread - thank you for this.

I think, at times, I may spend too much time examining my life, in a retrospective sort of way. It is so much easier to examine the negative, the regrets, the should haves and could haves. I should neither regret the past or choose to live it - rather, I'm happiest when I stay in the day - and focus on what is before me and the potential opportunities that exist. That is, of course, if I choose to see them. If this makes any sense to anyone, let me know...

RE: Sometime!

<~~~~Rocket scientist. Mr. NASA....

RE: Sometime!

Okay, I guess I am trying to figure this out

RE: Sometime!

Like, damn. Did not mean to kill the thread...

RE: I just realized...I'm alone

My second holiday season alone - frankly, getting as used to it as the Detroit Lions are used to losing. And hey, maybe they'll win their annual Thanksgiving game? I'm not asking for much here. Okay, maybe I am...

RE: I'd rather die.

I gave my first product presentation (automotive in nature) some ten years ago - and I shared a similar fear. My boss back then pulled me aside just prior to presenting, and simply told me "Remember, you know this stuff - probably more than anybody in the room. Hell, you know this stuff better than I do." I can't tell you how much that helped. It's a little mantra that has carried me through countless presentations since - now it is fun.

I suspect you really know your "stuff," as it were. Relax, and enjoy yourself - if your attendees sense this, they'll enjoy it as well.

RE: how would you consider a woman who....

As per usual, an excellent point - something borne out, unfortunately, from my own experience.

RE: CAT PERSON OR DOG PERSON?

Cat - love dogs, but travel a bit much and a dog would be a logistical nightmare.

RE: how would you consider a woman who....

I simply echo that statement....

RE: Is it ok to ask if anyone has a MySpace site?

Done. Deleted. Somehow I feel cleaner now...

RE: I should have slept with.....

There's probably a joke about "oats" in there somewhere...

RE: Is it ok to ask if anyone has a MySpace site?

Crap. I think I started one, never wrote anything, a while back, so I could view a friend's. I feel like I now have an computer STD...

RE: Countdown to the wedding

A warm congratulations - always nice to see....

RE: How many people have actually visited Canada?

Spent a lot of time in Vancouver and Toronto for work - enjoyed both the places and the people.

RE: Ok, I'll take a shot at this poetry stuff

Thanks for this Mike....

RE: If you where trapped in Walmart all weekend!

Woo-hoo! Tools? I'll just use my head...

RE: Sometime!

Actually, this is most excellent.

I started putting an experience to it - I once traded who I was for what I thought I wanted. And yes, the result was very empty.

Thank you for this.

RE: If you where trapped in Walmart all weekend!

I'm not crazy about Walmart or their policies (particularly on health care). May I be trapped somewhere else? An auto parts store? A motorcycle dealership?

RE: Add your love to the list.

To two of the best people on this site - this too, shall pass. To further cheer you up, the stupid dancing banana...

RE: A Dear Friend of ours Needs your Thoughts and Prayers

Thoughts, prayers, and best wishes out to a good man...

RE: About me

Welcome to CS. Don't get addicted to the forums. I've been here for 43 hours straight

RE: who...

I'd name a few people, but it is highly likely they would deny knowing me...

RE: Christmas tree

Day after Thanksgiving for me as well - and lights. It's pretty freakin silly when its 80-degrees out, but hell, I do it anyway

RE: I need to know something that I don't understand

Damn. Gotta leave something here...don't need any more bad luck
