Nah, I'm edgy too, and you don't typically cold shoulder me. Anyhoo, what did the blue highlighted part mean? I'm a bit slow on the uptake today.

What I learned. I am trying to learn something positive everyday and I chose your words for today

See, I was being dense.

It's good to learn or do something positive everyday. I am trying that myself.

A few years ago I made a New Year's resolution much different than the typical "lose weight" "stop smoking" "quit stabbing people in the grocery line" resolutions that none of us EVER keep. I decided to make it a point to compliment people to their boss if I get good service, or write something nice on a comment card. That year, I wrote a comment card at the grocery about some young man who had been out of his way kind, and multitudes more. It has since become a way of life. I think I"ve always been a nice person for the most part, but to make a conscious attempt to show others I appreciate them really brought some good things out.

So, these days I still do that. I wrote a nice email to one of our IT guys for his efficient and painless switchover to my new computer. I courtesy copied to his boss. In our institution it is known as "valuing people" initiative, and I know how I feel when I am appreciated and recognized.

These are positive actions that make me feel good, no matter how freaking goofy my own life is right now. :)

That is awesome - I think I'll follow your lead. It is so hard in this negative environment where I work to remain upbeat. Anyway, I like the idea and I'm goin with it.

I learned to not close bedroom door on a cold morning, to raise heat in other rooms. Then forgetting to open before bed time. BRrrr!

When you grab your Ipod and Plug it into your wifes New Ipod Jam box to go Do IT ,
Pick your Play list CAREFULLY !!!!!!
Don't want any FMJ sound bites cropping up as things are heating up!!!

I have learned that Christmas is a joke and there's really no point except for the kids.

The end.

I have learned that *some* 15 year old girls are not much different to 4 year olds.

I also learned that putting make up on when its 40+ degrees c, is a big waste of time.

I have learned that I enjoy 70 degree weather much more than 10 degree weather with snow and wind.

I have learned that time slips away when perusing the Cellar, and that I'll have to stay late tonight (New Year's Eve) to make it up.

I have learned that good service is hard to find.

I have learned that it's not easy to be a non-conformist, even in an internet community without many rules.

heck drax, look at radar! then again look at all of us, we are probably all outside the social norms. Thats why the cellar rocks!

I have learned that Drax feels a bit on the outter after recent discussions.

I have also learned that it doesn't matter what anyone else says, you just have to follow your own path anyway. You don't have any other choice.

Got that right.

Well said. ;)
