There is that, yes Larry Send a noteboard - 18/03/2011 09:46:44 PM
I got married, got pregnant, quit smoking, had the scare of my life with baby, had a kid and gained 15 pounds, my job is getting more stressful by the day, my sons disorder has its share of challenges( but it's not terrible), and I now think I have a thyroid condition. Issues that were once not important have become increasingly so. Amazingly enough my marriage is still doing well. But forgive me if I am not as light-hearted as i once was, life in general has gotten more serious. We've grown up a little, Larry.

And apparently according to Druid, everyone else got the tummytuck and boob job except me, so excuse me if I'm a little bitter about that. :cries:


Yes, life is a serious thing, too serious to take seriously all of the time, I believe. Until the past year or so, I had almost forgotten how to laugh at life's foibles and my own self. Humility is a very difficult thing for me to learn, but I believe I'm beginning to make the first steps along that path. I better, as I do fear I will be dead from certain health concerns if I don't cleanse myself of very bad habits. Gone 10 days without sodas or anything to drink but water and I already feel much better, with much more energy and little of that extreme drowsiness I'd get after eating a meal.

But hey, if that's a warning bell, then I'd better just enjoy things before it's too late, right? I still need to learn more about others and how they cherish life. As for the job, I escaped from a state testing meeting early today. Those things do send a chill through my spine, but they aren't what makes any of us good/bad teachers, right? :D

Most of the personal sharing you describe I've shifted over to my Facebook activity. TaskmasterJack - 17/03/2011 12:12:34 AM 630 Views

It's not that I don't still love the Illuminati BBS, a man just needs a little variety sometimes. Joel - 17/03/2011 03:30:55 AM 702 Views

Even I have gotten tired of the politics. Ghavrel - 17/03/2011 06:17:23 AM 665 Views
My view on politics has changed quite a bit in the past few years Larry - 18/03/2011 09:40:31 PM 760 Views
Mine hasn't, really, but my opinion of repeating my positions endlessly has. Ghavrel - 18/03/2011 11:14:39 PM 646 Views

Ha! Larry - 18/03/2011 09:51:19 PM 551 Views
I think part of the problem is people are simply not posting fun stuff any more random thoughts - 17/03/2011 05:03:52 PM 565 Views
Chat was definitely better than the MB for building personal relationships. TaskmasterJack - 17/03/2011 11:34:49 PM 543 Views
Some of the conversations I have on FB are like chat with really bad lag. *NM* Avendesora - 18/03/2011 01:03:21 AM 312 Views
"FB" and "chat with really bad lag" just naturally go together. Joel - 18/03/2011 04:36:23 PM 672 Views
I think that's near, if not at, the heart of all this Larry - 18/03/2011 09:50:37 PM 606 Views
My problem is I just like to argue random thoughts - 18/03/2011 10:12:03 PM 630 Views

It doesn't help that you don't tend to post things that make you likeable. Helene - 18/03/2011 06:55:04 AM 788 Views
I always took those posts as attempts to include people. Joel - 18/03/2011 05:33:55 PM 679 Views
That's a very positive outlook, which perhaps is shared by others *NM* Helene - 18/03/2011 09:13:43 PM 222 Views
Hope so; try thinking in terms of what fantasy used to be like. Joel - 22/03/2011 11:19:36 PM 726 Views
10-11 years ago, I might have thought I was a major part of this site. Uncertain of that now, Larry - 18/03/2011 09:36:26 PM 692 Views
