I'm as far east as you can get in Washington and still be in the state. I actually buy my groceries in Idaho. It's cheaper, and I'm po'.

I dont know about me changing, but I do know that cr has given me heaps. i have friends all over the world and a lot of you are now family to me. You know who you are. yeah, ok some are like the weird aunt that you wish would stop kissing you, or at least put her teeth in before she does it.....(is that only me)...but you all have given me the chance to ask stuff I would normally never get the chance to ask. I have met some of the most beautiful people that even stepped foot on this planet, once again , you know who you are.... all you gotta do in look in the mirror. I like you. yes, I do. Im nothing special but you guys make me feel worthwhile and you dont dismiss my questions. My boys give me wierd looks....Oh mum, youre talking to your pretend friends again..... or mums talking to those wierdo religious nuttas...its fun, but now from tiime to time they ask me things that I have found answers to here. so, thanks forthat. i still have soooooo many questions about everything so Ill keep coming back. I love all ofyou

I did this a lot as a kid, playing with action figures, and have recently started doing it again (sans the action figures, but maybe I should bring those back, too). It's fun to look at a rock and realize that to an insect, a frog, a faery person, or a Star Wars figure, it would actually be more of a mountain. That primes the imagination, it does.

I do this ALL the time! LOL My husband finds it amusing- as we hike, I'll point out some little stump with mushrooms and explain how they are like little cabanas for a whole town of faeries. I've always liked to imagine myself much smaller and see what the forest would look like from that tiny position- the size of about a grasshopper.

It seems to me you are the joy where you find it. Just being alive is the most wonderful gift, and you know it.

Hi Brian!

Spring approaches fast.....embrace it....let the sap rise! All work and no play = less productive work and unhappiness, stress and exhaustion. Relax!

I do this with some hesitation, ( I have complimented you a couple of times recently already and I dont want you think I have a crush on you ), but to me several of your posts have been so profound and direct that I can only describe them a genius. Please, please keep them coming!!

It seems we are a big family of mildly argumentative but essentially happy children. long may we continue

Too late I'm afraid, it's currently the hottest topic on the PM circuit.

True, true. I have a white board in my office that I put quotes up on every week. Congratulations, Tao- you are following in the ranks of Einstein and the Irish Triad saying... I love that "You are the joy where you find it."

Being alive is a most amazing gift.

Sorry to tell the atheists this, but most people in my family refer to my CR pals as "your religious friends."
