Hey sass_my_frass, I read a suitable boy whilst I was traveling around India. It was so big that every time I finished a chapter I tore it out so the book got progressively less heavy to carry in my backpack! Agree - it wasn't really worth it - it just like some sort of India soap opera.

Wow, the year is 2008, and still no Armageddon!
by Nosferatu inevery time we enter a new year, i think about how i wasn't supposed to make it this long.
i really believed we wouldn't live past the year 2000, and armageddon would change everything.
it almost strikes me as living on borrowed time, but then i remember that armageddon is a story, not a reality.

Like others here, I was never going to get to high school, never going to leave high school and lastly never retire. Hang on, retirement I am nearly there!

2 yrs good health left + 1 yr severe pain. How would it change you?
by Open mind infirst off, i'm fine so don't go getting all worked up on my account.
we've all heard the "6 months to live question" before.
i'm just stretching it out a bit longer to 2 years.

Excellent topic - because I guess we should all try to live our lives as if only a few months left to live, as none of us know what is round the corner. We might never get to do that trip we always wanted to do, look up old friends or just take things a little easier.
The problem is that life, family commitments and other responsibilities get in the way of doing what we might really want.
Me? I would spend the time traveling and getting my family to meet up with me in some far flung corner of the world. And then, perhaps my last year I would spend with people who could teach me transcendental meditation and the like, so I might be able to both cope and get some understanding of what this life is about.

Auxiliary Pioneer ya lazy B*$tard$!!!
by Open mind infor those who no longer get your monthly km, i thought i'd just share a little "encouraging" tidbit from the material scheduled for this week's service meeting (tm).. there's a 20 minute "regurgitate the paragraph" session entitled "pioneer or die" or something like that.
i can't remember the exact title right now, but it was one of the most blatant "beat the sheep.
you're not good enough" articles i've seen in quite a while.
