Good quotes. I've found that we often give advice when all that is really wanted is an ear.

Let's see some more little glimmers of truth.

Why is the sky blue anyway?


It's not at night. Which reminds me of a question I like to pose to my kids. If you have a regular naval orange and you turn off all lights, is it still orange? They eventually work it out with me asking some leading questions.

Thoughts like these are better than drugs, and make me happy I didn't totally fry my brain on drugs.

I dunno, I sometimes post threads to get advice from my friends. I did last night, to hopefully get some horror stories to talk me down from my overjoyed kiddieness of meeting someone new for a dose of reality.

It worked, helped me alot.

Allthough noone had some horrible ones, everyone was awesome.


I only wish growig up and in life I had more examples of some real good wisdom at times when I really needed it. Support can be priceless.

Seems like these moments of shared wisdom only come after the fact, huh?

God?!?! HA! Hardly. I'd barely give myself credit as human, much less a deity or anything worthy of worship or praise.

Probably reading through books of building codes and giving that whatever deep thought of which I may be capable. Fun Fun.

Wish I could say the same. I don't have much of a brain left.

Huh? I dunno, not sure what you mean, but I had SUCH a hard time so many times and wished people were there. I HAVE had people there for me at times mostly in adulthood, and they were greatly appreciated.

I have a great support system now.

I know I seem to go on and on about the Grateful Dead, but there were many times when I listened to a song over and over and knew the lyrics, but it wasn't until I went through that in my life that I really understood it.

Huh? I dunno, not sure what you mean

That we only seem to hear these quotes that pertain to our lives after we need them.

Oh, ha ha, well, sometimes life has a certain poetry that helps instill things from experience, its a blessing. Not so much murphys law in my opinion. We sometimes wouldnt accept it, but yes, sometimes unfortunate as well, I take advice pretty well, I wish I had the advice knowing it was from someone who actually had experience in what I need help with, now just someone talking out their ***.

I try my best to help someone every day, I pray for God to put someone in my path I may help daily.

This posting is too cumbersome, do you want to IM after I get done playing video games with my nephews. They just came in to play the video games they rented on my ps3.
