Please give one practical example of the quotation mentioned. Here's mine: My neighbor makes quilted bags. But I don't see many people buying. One day, I went there to buy one of her bags for sale. It's simple but at least I...

egfitz62150 "Leave a place better than when you found it" means that when you depart from a place (home, forest, beach, location of any kind), you have done no damage to it while you were there, and that you have left it cleaner or better in some way than when you first...

Well this post is going to offend a lot of Indians and give a twisted pleasure to a lot of Americans. But even then, I just need to talk to you guys and know your views. An elderly colleague at office has a very accomplished and...

egfitz62150 It just occurred to me that if he's elderly he's still operating under the "colonial" mindset put in place by the British. All of us "colonies" have had this problem to some extent -- "everyone else is better than we are." What a load of bologna!!!!! (Bologna...

I was trying so hard to beat the alcohol. But the last 3 weeks have been so hard and i'm finding it worse than ever. I've already taken an over dose not that it worked. I really have had enough other than stabbing myself or...

egfitz62150 Yes, you're only affecting your own health . . . unless you get into a car while drunk and kill or maim someone else. Unless you are around young children, or other sensitive people who might take your words and actions as a sign of their own worthlessness or...

Sometimes when I am going through the replies to my discussions and rating them I accidentally click on the "-" when I meant to click the "+". I don't know how this happens! It has only happened about 3 times now, but I feel bad...

egfitz62150 I have the added problem that many of my keys have lost their letters. So, often I'm guessing whether I'm pressing "I" "O" "U" "Y" "T" R" E" . . . LOL! "Edit" would be great, especially since (even with cable modem) it takes so long for "preview comment" to...

egfitz62150 LOL!! You may or may not have gotten your looks from your Dad, but you certainly got his sense of humor!! Good luck with the tux -- something tells me you won't have to work on him too hard, though. Do you still model?? You should! All the best with your new...

egfitz62150 Actually, I was thinking that $20,000 isn't all that far out of line in today's world -- particularly in the good ol' US of A. I've heard that $30,000 - $40,000 is typically spent by many, especially the first time around. It's not my style to spend like that...

egfitz62150 Unfortunately he's computer shy, and now he's beginning to see the down side of this attitude. We've looked through the employment ads and many of the jobs he's qualified for now require computer literacy. It's been over 20 years since he's looked for a job,...

egfitz62150 Thanks for the suggestions! He's still getting used to the idea of being at home. There are lots of things for him to do here, he just isn't focused yet. Soon he will be, I hope!!! ;-)

egfitz62150 I've had that happen too!! LOL! I'm 5' 9" and often wear mens clothes because my proportions don't work with many womens clothes. I also have a rather deep voice, so I'm called "Sir" on the phone quite a bit, as well. Mostly it's kinda funny, but it does make...

egfitz62150 P.S. Your daughter may need professional help. Perhaps talking with a counselor would help you too in dealing with your anger towards your daughter. She must be in a very bad way to let her kids go like that.

Now this could be another one of those loaded questions because I have heard a lot of people say they will neither forgive...or forget if someone has harmed, hurt, betrayed them. I am sure there are others to add to a long list of...

egfitz62150 As sorry as I am that you had to go through such abuse, I now understand the strength I've sensed in you. It is good to know that one can heal from such deep wounds, although you have obviously worked very hard to acheive that healing. You Go, Girl!!

egfitz62150 Wow, youdontsay!!! I've never heard "forgetting" defined that way. It makes so much sense!!! With that definition in mind, I realize that I can and DO forget! I keep the memory of the event to help me avoid it in the future -- but when I forgive, I acknowledge...
