    This could be because you're hanging on to resentment, and hanging on to resentment is like letting someone you despise live rent free in your head.

    Good point but I think it's the way I held the tongs

    I am neither half full or half empty kind of person. I am more a realist...

    I am just happy if I have a glass with clean water in it.

    (although I caught my cat drinking out of glass on my nightstand last night lol )

    I guess some pull the tape slow because it doesn't rip as fast, it depends on your make up to how fast you can go...Everyone is different.

    And the glass sometimes takes a little time to fill, but we can all be the person we want to be, focusing on that what we want out of life in a positive

    way can help bring about the needed changes we desire....The future is full of bright promises its all about changing how we feel inside, being

    optimistic. I think of how far you have come John and what you have been through this past year, yet you have been putting yourself through school

    trying to work, besides that's a big accomplishment especially for what you are going in for...I'm quite proud of you for such a young man and you

    know I still think your special, after all you do share the same birthday as my son....And you know I think

    you will do well...

    Well maybe you did not want this thread to be about you...but I'm a mom and had to put my 2 ccents in anyways...

    The government would say that the glass is fuller than if the opposition party were in power.

    The opposition would say that it is irrelevant because the present administration has changed the way such volume statistics are collected.

    The philosopher would say that, if the glass was in the forest and no one was there to see it, would it be half anything?

    The economist would say that, in real terms, the glass is 25% fuller than at the same time last year.

    The banker would say that the glass has just under 50% of its net worth in liquid assets.

    The psychiatrist would ask, "What did your mother say about the glass?"

    The physicist would say that the volume of this cylinder is divided into two equal parts; one a colorless, odorless liquid, the other a colorless, odorless gas. Thus the cylinder is neither full nor empty. Rather, each half of the cylinder is full, one with a gas, one with a liquid.

    The seasoned drinker would say that the glass doesn''t have enough ice in it.

    "If it's half full you're an optimist.
    If it's half empty you're a pessimist."

    Depends on what's in the glass.

    We hold on to the past because of fear of the unkown. "Better the devil you know than the devil you don't."
