Moving forward, going forward, long term we are all dead! I'm thinking of offering Maria a $1,000 reward if she can simply go two weeks without ever ONCE saying "moving forward" or going forward"! To be fair, the others say it too, but Maria's habit is BAD. Claws

David, Gee whiz, Maria was doing fine, with no "going forwards" (that I heard anyway) until the basketball players and the CEO of Cablevision came over for an interview with her. Then it happened. Probably because she was all choked up about having a guy almost twice as tall as her standing right next to her. <g> What am I going to have to do, raise my reward to $2,000 for a whole two weeks of her not saying "moving forward" or "going forward"??? Oh well, I guess that kind of money just does'nt impress the wealthy "Bart" anymore. <sigh> Yogi

Maria kind of reminds me of a girl - let's call her Janet - I dated in college, who liked to use the word "ostensibly." Or rather, she liked to come up with sentences where the word "ostensibly" would fit. And so, she was always making ironic comments and observations. It was both irritating and endearing. Maria, however, has little sense of irony, and doesn't make much distinction between the obvious and the ostensible. Not to be sentimental, but these days I meet too many Marias and too few Janets. Call me a crackpot, but I happen to believe that the growing popularity of intellectual dishonesty is merely reinforced by the ever-rising market indexes.
