I'm not out to change the world, but I would like to think that I made a difference, that I perhaps changed someone in some small way. Dharma, don't you doubt for a moment that you aren't making an important difference in people's lives on a daily basis. Reading about that again, and seeing t

We are finally coming out of summer and entering what is turning out to be a beautiful autumn. Cool nights (perfect for sleeping with the windows open and blanket on) and days in the 70's. Can't complain here. Hope you get feeling better and that it doesn't get too hot too fast.
Perhaps I am just getting old. Maybe I am just tired. Maybe it's the fact I have children. Or am I just lazy? Whatever it is, I have learned to be very selective in picking my fights. Days not too long past I was relatively quick to anger. Never one to let someone step on, over or around me, I made sure everyone knew what I would or wouldn't
I got pissed off and was laughing at same time. XX--I think I would have felt better had I been able to laugh. Sadly enough, I was just mad. Really mad. It was just the icing on the cake of an all together crappy day. Shadesofgrey--No kidding. I don't get what makes people think that just
I live in Utah...don't get started on the mormon stuff because I'm not one of them...nor am I a polygamist, or a ultraconservative or any such stuff... Don't worry about it Silver and Jade. I asked because, well, I grew up and lived most of my life in Utah. The second you said "Hill Air Force Base" I
As long as you are first in line to offer yourself as a human specimen for me to dissect, I am happy to stop working on animals.
I am not entirely sure what it is about her, but I tend on the side of liking Mandy Moore. Perhaps it is that I haven't been assaulted of images of her in trampy clothes, fondling men and being fondled by them in each and every video, no media cat-fights and remakes of old bad songs into new bad songs ("My Prerogative" anyone?). She comes across as more genuine to me. And her music tends on that side as well. Still pop fluff, I am not filled with a

I'm doing it because I honestly think that getting a hand made, one-of-a-kind gift is much more pleasing, for both the recipient and the giver. Fabulous idea Dharma. And very telling you your personality I believe. A gift from the heart, one with some personality and inspiration behind it, means infin
as we have a Hill Air Force Base, Where do you live Silver and Jade? Just curious.
And, I think at times, I love my wife even more, not despite her stinky, smelly feet, but because of them, too! Excellent. I agree. When we learn to love someone, not just parts of that someone, we increase our capacity to love them.
My favorite is dusting the dusters.
The assumption that anyone that is not an agnostic, or an atheist is not thinking for themselves is based on immature thinking. Silver and Jade--I gave you an "insightful" for that one. I have always found it interesting that in such conversations as this it is nearly always posited by someone
Also, isn't that a part of love - taking the good with the bad? Not only is that part of love, Dusk, but I think it is part of life as well. I believe one of our purposes here in life is to learn to love, smelly feet and all. It is to learn to work past the annoyances and become better people as we li
like you said, what's more important, melodramatic vocals or my closest, most beloved friend? i choose the friend. I agree heartily. We all have things that can drive others nuts. And we can always find something in others that will drive us nuts. The real choice is, do we choose to see the negative
how does your system differ for older drivers ?. that hardly seems fair ! To be honest mig, I don't really know. I know that when you first get your license it wasn't too tough for me. Of course, I think a bit has changed in the 12 years since I first started driving, but all I had to do was spend 20
For me, I do not feel safe crossing two lanes at once (from the first and second lane, via intersection and to the first lane). It's risky. I like the center lanes. I feel safer there. For me, I always like to stay in the left hand lane (the fast one). Not only do I like to go a little faster than the
There it is. Looming up ahead. Huge, impending, green. With a little yellow brother sitting there. Exit Only. Arrows accompany the signs, clearly pointing out which way the exit is. Lines on the road tell you clearly which lane they are in. Everything is set up to clearly let the driver know that their lane will soon leave the freeway. They are
I was reading Jessica a book she had checked out from the library over the weekend. It was a fun book, and one that I felt uniquely suited to reading her. The title was "Stinky, Smelly Feet". As I read it, though, I came to a realization. I have stinky, smelly feet. So does my wife. And I bet every one of us here does as well. In fact I am posit
That looks to my like one of the "Inspirat" skins. The "Aero" look around the menu is just using WindowFX with one of the "Aero" shadows. The weather widget just comes like that, and the top is Object Dock plus.
I have to admit, I felt sorry for Sen Kerry only having access to one internet, rather than the internets that Pres Bush has access too. , not a big deal, but it made my wife and I chuckle when he said that.
She was perhaps 10 years older than me, at most. Still in her 30's for sure. I could be misinterpreting it, but it was very odd that she would switch sides in the center lane. Just sort of struck me.
For some reason, when we are holding hands it is always my right hand and her left hand. It is usually the same for my wife and I. We almost always seem to hold my right, her left. Not always, but when we switch things up it just feels odd. But, yeah, just a simple "Hello" or acknowledgment o
An interesting thing happened the other day. I was used as a human shield. Seriously. I was. For some reason, when it happened, it just struck my of an awfully odd thing to have happen. I use myself as a human shield quite often. Walking through parking lots, crossing streets, etc. with my wife and daughters, I always put them on the side far
That really is a breathtaking picture. I saved the large image, going to play around and use it on my desktop. By the way, here is the guy's site. There are a couple other really nice pictures on that site.
