As you climb life's ladder Make sure you don't kick anyone in the head as you climb past them

No one is going to criticize you for getting checked, for your sake and Gavin's. I am happy that the tests turned out good. Don't beat yourself up so much, you apologized a lot to Dwayne, I don't think you needed to. Standing your ground and asking the questions that you did, even if it made him angry, does not lower you to his level. You did the right thing and asked the right questions, I think he reacted the way he did because he knows he put you in that frame of mind, and maybe he isn't that happy with himself. Good luck with Gavin. Ex.

Nick James is right, I could not have said it better. What pot did for me in the beginning it couldn't do for me by the time I put it down. I quit smoking pot when I went in the military, when I got out I went to school for a year. Halfway through that year I started smoking again, my grades plummeted, and my friends noticed my personality change. I saw what it was doing, I haven't touched it since. I guess I grew out of it. Your a smart guy, be smart enough to live without it. Ex.

Well, happy belated Birthdays to the kids. Sometimes bad girls like that are a good lesson for others on how not to be, especially when your daughter sees how the boys treat her. So did Rich grab his chest and say he was having the "big one" when he heard about the cake? My advise Viv..........Think writing............put the book down............write Viv, the book is already written, it can wait. Ex.

It's hard to back up with a Goat, because the goat is so short, and the trailer looks so long. Make smaller turns when backing, you'll figure it out. If your goat is weaving too much, you are trying to do too much too fast. At least this goat won't eat your pen right out of your pocket, and your shirt too. Be patient. Ex.

Can't wait to start reading. Regards, Ex.

Take care of yourself, and your cat. Hey your just going to have to stop throwing hot guys over your shoulder, and taking them home with you........make them walk. No need to explain, life throws all of us off balance at times. We'll be here. Ex.

Well, a good friend of mine has a son that has done two tours over in Baghdad, and he said that the radicals over there are looking for any reason to kill anybody............just give them a reason. They just love to kill, and those are the people that are passing down these judgments on their fellow muslims. He also said that he had became aware on his first tour that a lot of the men over there don't really hide the fact that they are having sex with young boys, as he put it......"women are for children, and boys are for fun". That was just what he gathered, not what he practiced. Ex.

I agree. I always thought that Draco and Harry would be unbelievably hot together. Ex.

Happy be-lated B-day KURT. Sorry I missed it. Ex.

Oh, I forgot...........THREE weeks on spring break ............No wonder I was so far behind when I left the California public school system, when my family moved up here to the frozen tundra so many decades ago. Sounds like the sleep over was "JUST KILLING YOU"..........more drama ........ " and now for tonights winner of the Oscar for her role in the over dramatization of the raising of children category"..............Viv.........." no shock here ladies and gentlemen" You love that stuff, and you know it. Sorry Viv , but you know I'm an insufferable tease. Ex.

HAVEN'T STARTED chapter 25 Oh well, you'll get to it I'm sure. What are you worried about? I'm sure your anthology entry will be the best one posted............now who's being the drama queen, move over Annemarie. So is rule #1 No kissing, or is it mandatory. Take care. Ex.

There is always the nuclear option!!! It is time to make a stand with this clown.......I'd put die in the shower head, preperation H in the tooth paste.......the possibilities are endless, and very immature.

Viv, I'm looking forward to reading your entry. Ex.

It totally amazes me how some vet clinics can be so callus toward people and their pets. What did they think you were bull shitting them? :wacko: But they won't hesitate to overcharge you for their services. I'm happy puss-n-boots is better. Now you know how to get special treatment at work......bring the cat. Ex.

Wait until he turns 13. You might, or might not, be less of a bitch than his mother by then..........but you will be dumber than hell. Aren't children wonderful? :wacko: Get Well. Ex.

I'm sure your anthology story will be excellent as usual. Take care. Ex.

Sam really truly only has you........................then what will he have. All his good memories of your time together will not be able to cover the one bad memory. Kids blame themselves, no matter what, they blame themselves. Ex.

Hey Nick I think if it were me , I would tell her that she seemed to say what she really meant the first time, when she rejected your story, and that you are struggling so much with being gay that you don't have time for a bigot. You know, lay it on thick, so she can see how bad she really sounded, and how much of a hypocrite she is. She will expect you to say something hurtful, and if you do then her dislike towards gays will be more justified. Turn her own words around on her. Have fun. Ex.

You said it all right there. " The pain of letting go and watching all the sand flow back into the sea is no worse than the pain of trying to hold it all together". How often does it come right down to that,........ and you have to save yourself. Ex.

I hope it works for you. Princeton would work good for your goals. Don't give up. Best wishes. Ex.

I tried to watch the show a few times, but I end up wanting to knock Simon out. :wacko: Sometimes when we reach some of our goals in life, we find ourselves wishing for the simpler times.........Taiwan? I look forward to when you do get a chance to write again. Take care. Ex.

Sorry to hear about all the stress. When doors close, others open. I guess all I can say is keep your mind and yourself open to any options that make sense, and don't be willing to settle for something less than what will move you forward toward your goals. You may have to change your whole idea of what it is you want to do in life, in order to do what you need to do, and that is to be successful. If you give up and settle for working in a 7-11, then all those years in school did you no good. Go after what you want and need, it will not come looking for you. I spent 25 years making airplanes fly, with two major airlines, and the military. The job was my major goal, the money was secondary. When the jobs dried up, then reappeared at less money, my secondary goal became my primary one as it should have been all along. I now work for myself, I'm not doing what I love, but I'm doing what I need to do.........make money. I guess all I'm trying to say is don't handcuff yourself to one thing, then throw the key away. Sometimes a little 80 prof alignment fluid helps to get things back into perspective. Hope the hangover wasn't bad. Best wishes to you and Silven. Ex.

Ultimately you have to decide to do what will make you happy. You know what that is. You have done it before. You just have to make sure you have it all thought out, and you have yourself prepared for what can happen....mostly the bad. Your real friends will be there for you, if your family loves you they will be too, if not screw um. Good luck Joe, be happy. Ex.
