Ha, quite so!

very well said and true. took me a long time to discover this!

Salutations in different languages are often recognizable even to people that don't speak that language, so there isn't reason to delete them in most cases.

Well, I took a chance too, knowing it might happen. No, I didn't see your reply re: drug cartels on the border.

Sounds wonderful (despite the association with death). For me, it feels like the right thing to do. They have a similar concept in Japan, called O-bon (honoring ancestors), which has made me lament the fact that we don't have the same traditions in the U.S.

Food? I like food. LOL...

I'm in Japan. I saw your avatar and thought it was cool. Even though everyone else has Halloween avatars, yours is for the Day of the Dead celebration in Mexico. Muy cool...

Hola...

My avatar likes your avatar.

rightly said. we aren't textbook mbti.

Monte is a wonderful man, whom I admire more than I can begin to express. Unfortunately, this board is not particularly kind toward individuals of Christian or Conservative beliefs, and he held both.

It's important to remember Monte has been very successful in his career, and thus has little reason to debate his intelligence or motives with less effective people. I don't necessarily agree with the decision to leave altogether, but I don't blame him either.

If you're known to him from this board, you can find him on Facebook. He's a very receptive individual.

i am not sure, to be honest. i am rather indifferent to typing people with looks.
still, it is a nice pose.

The younger, the worse they are!

just hoping an insurance agency will call me back, at the moment...

Yeah that sounds about right. I wanted to be a doctor, psychologist, comic book writer, journalist and screenwriter. At least one of those ended up being right.

We're very intriguing people! How old is she?

Yes... that's my brother, Skeezix! I wondered what happened to him after "the incident"...

Oh no. God no. I did some sub-work for a while and I'm done with it now. Never again.

Oohhh. sounds great! Does he live in a dumpster, too?

Thanks. Maybe you just didn't waste as much time writing your post as I did mine, which would make you a wiser person than I am.

Yes, it's definitely tough. I don't have it all worked out yet, but I figure I'll take it as it comes. I've been told by women in profession that I'm undermining them, that I should never have been offered money to get my degree because I'm "wasting it" - blah, blah. I'm fully convinced that if I had stayed in the workforce, I would have gotten hit from the other side.
