Your opening comments have earned you at least this one bookmark. Now if we can get Steven Wright into SI and onto this post, we'll have it made.

Hello! Dexx, You have demonstrated many dimensions to your style on various threads and postings! And on a regular basis, I keep finding a new one!---For whatever reason I feel that I have known you for a long time!---Here are a couple of thoughts! I'm not sure how deep? But! Here it goes!!! I sometimes wonder "HOW MUCH IS ENOUGH?"------I imagine that could just about cover anything and everything! EXAMPLE!!! There is a part of me, that I would like to think is a sharing and giving person! ( But! Definitely NO! ANGEL!!). SO! I see these T.V Shows, showing video's of "HUNGRY CHILDREN"--- My initial reaction is to feel a slight tear forming in the corner of my eye, then think to myself that "someday" when and if I'm fortunate enough to make "LOADS" of $$$$$ on the Stock Market, or Wherever??-----I would gladly contribute in helping these children! Then I walk down the street and see young teenagers ( Probably thrown out of their homes) panhandling!-----Then I get a double standard feeling!---Because I have two teenage daughters of my own, my initial feeling is " What are they doing on the street, have they no respect for their parents, blah! blah! blah!!-------------------- ---------Then the other side of the emotion directs me to wonder what I can do to help these children!! I find myself always walking a very fine line, of either wanting to save the entire misery in the world, or on the other side I sometimes just want to go and live on a deserted Island and the rest of the world can take a hike!!! I don't necessarily enjoy having this double standard form of thinking stuck between my two ears!!!----But! I'm not really expecting much to change! I am now almost 50, and am still wondering what I am going to be when I grow up?? Could it be that some people like me just never mature or grow up? I say this because I tend to take things too much to heart, and I'm afraid one day I am just going to blow up, and simply leave this world with my only mark in life left behind will be some water and minerals bunched up in the corner of a room! If someone asked me what would I do differently if I had a chance to start life over again? Easy??? Have more "FUN" and enjoy life!! There is in my opinion! NO SUCH THING AS HAVING TOO MUCH FUN!---Life has a way of making sure that never happens! So! Just go for the fun, and you will know when it's time to do something else! I really don't know how to have a real good laugh ! I yearn to have one of those laughing spells, where you see people rolling around the floor, out of control, etc. ( I recall a few of those experiences years ago, but it has been a very long time!). You are right about loved one's! I to have recently had changes in my family front! What I have learned is you can't turn back the clock's of time! DEXX!!! You made a very impactful point! I wonder what this world would be like , if every time we had a disagreement, verbal fight, etc, with someone--instead we simply gave them a solid "I LIKE YOU HUG?"-----What would things be like today?? In closing! Dexx, you have much to offer, and I have noticed that your high energy level and youth, will ( in my opinion) open many doors in life for you! Best Regards, Wayne J.
