  What is better? An orange or an lightbulb?

  the topic makes me think that i am trying to compare something that really cannot be compared.

  (just a note on thought process behind this thread.).

  the other day i got into a discussion of opinion and i have to ask you all for your opinion because i am so curious what people may think about the topic.. i am on a kick now, lately that i feel the urge to tell everyone how much i love them.

  ivy-

  I would rather regret the things I have done, then the things I haven't done.

  Now how come it takes so long for me to sputter what you summed in one sentence?

  why do europeans wear these things to the pool?

  matters of fashion tend to be subjective,but not in this case.

  they look like crap, why cant you see it?

  You call 'em Speedos? I call 'em "grape snugglers."

  I think EVIL looks like he is toting the huge grapes that came back when those people in the Bible story book went to look at Cannan or where ever they went to look.

  Yes, I draw the line at Anti Wrinkle Scrotum Smoother

  I just snorted Malibu rum out the nose cavity!! ROFLMAO

  I am a very giving person but lately ive learnt that i need to be very selective to whom I am generous too. Ive just gotten to the point where sometimes i feel i am being taken for granted and im getting a little tired of it.

  Es... I so understand.

  And in reply, yes I am giving to a fault at times.

  There is a corner in Dallas that I have to always stop at on my way to school and even when I am late or broke, etc, I have to share with the homless person renting the spot..cigarette, water, bubble gum. I can just hear them calling me cheap a55 all the time I drive away.

  I raised my hand and said...."I Thought Buffalo were extinct?" He laughed for 5 minutes and said "No Dear they are not."

  Moving to Wyoming at age 18 I pulled the car over and tried so hard to get a picture of a buffalo because I thought they were extinct and wanted to report this wonderful discovery I had made that the buffalo were not extinct.

  Never realizing that a penis was not erect all the time, I could not figure out where they went when men put pants on. So I actually asked a JW fiance I had at 17 where the penis whent, and how come it did not show thru in the pants. I asked if the guys had to fold it up or something.... (his answer was "I wish that were so") Took me another year to figure out where it went.

  I think that perhaps they have gained what they needed to know and if they are not ones to meet people in person and form the real bonds, perhaps JWD is just a tool to assist in the healing process. Others may have too much time being taken up by the board and have neglected the family. Perhaps like most of us here the discussion board becomes an obsession that really is an all or nothing deal.

  Then also maybe they were out of work or bummed out and looking for something they needed and having gained the balance they lacked in the real life, they may feel dumb for wasting so much time in front of a computer. I know I do at times. For instance...I have work piled up everwhere. I am overtired and still had to come take a peak tonight.

  The topic makes me think that I am trying to compare something that really cannot be compared. (Just a note on thought process behind this thread.)

  The other day I got into a discussion of opinion and I have to ask you all for your opinion because I am so curious what people may think about the topic.

  I am on a kick now, lately that I feel the urge to tell everyone how much I love them. I want to hug people and all of the fluffy bunny crap that I at one time thought people were so dumb for doing. That is just a sidenote.

  But along those lines...I have made some huge mistakes in my life and tend to jump into anything with such gusto that I have had a heck of a life and a lot of hurt. This is quite a wild ride. At the same time though, by these experiences I have gained some wonderful friends or experiences and have been LIVING. I am not proud of all I have done, but I also know there are some wonderful lessons and compassion for people learned.

  I have a person in my life who does nothing of the same. Does not date, make stupid choices, have a lot of friends, (maybe none) and I am quite a note of sourness for the way I have lived my life in his perception. I feel a bit sorry for him. We both have different paths, and I have wound up with a lot more hurt but he has wound up a very alone person.

  So what is better?

  Am I a goof for trying and taking the hard road at times? Or is that what life is about?

  Or is it better to be careful and keep all your ducks in the correct rows and yet somehow miss out on the experiences that one can have by living in such a bumbling manner?

  I figure the things I have gained if quantified as the (number one) mean I have the (number 100) in hurt, all the hurt is worth the one treasure I found out of the situation. Not that I purposely make hurt to find good, but I do think the treasure would never be found if not for the crazy path....

  What do you think?
