Willi | Friday, March 02, 2001 - 06:40 pm  It does sound good doesn't it?

Soeur | Friday, March 02, 2001 - 06:42 pm  Willi, I am working on the truth. In the meantime, I really love chocolate ice cream |
Soeur | Saturday, March 03, 2001 - 10:32 am  There is not one person for the 'whole' of my life. Reflecting upon it with the view to stages of life, then I would say that for the first half (I am 43) it would have to be my parents. Although, a lot of what they taught me about life and people only makes sense as I am growing older. Individually they are amazing people and as a couple they are so integrated after almost 60 years together it is impossible to think of them separately. My mom is very alert and intense and my dad is very wise and laid back. Both are brilliant cognitions so I am definitely genetially blessed and that has been reflected in their grandchildren who are all very, very smart. In the second half of my life (<God willing> that fraction will turn into an improper one) -- my husband. Our first 21 years were very challenging with lots of ups and downs. The one stable factor was that we went through it all together and our commitment to that shared journey never <seriously> wavered. Things are going very well for us now and our sons are growing up and coming into their own. It is funny but thinking about it now...I am very alert and intense and Russell is very grounded and laid back. As time has passed we have shared/traded qualities. Things have never been dull. Thanks for the question Willi. Over the past couple of days I have been reviewing all the people who have made a difference to me. It is a long list and the selection process has been a pleasurable pursuit to turn my mind to. It would be a great folder. |
Willi | Saturday, March 03, 2001 - 10:37 am  Soeur...Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed the question. It sounds like you have had & do have some wonderful people in your life...I'm happy to know that. Thanks for sharing!

Gail | Saturday, March 03, 2001 - 05:04 pm  Soeur! Nice answer - it is your turn to pick the next person for Truth or Dare!! |
Soeur | Saturday, March 03, 2001 - 08:49 pm  O.K. Let's see...thinking...Lance! Come out to play! it's truth or dare time  |
Guruchaz | Sunday, March 04, 2001 - 09:18 am  Where is Lance? |
Digilady | Sunday, March 04, 2001 - 09:33 am  vacation! |
Guruchaz | Sunday, March 04, 2001 - 09:41 am  That's no excuse. uh huh huh! Have fun, Lance! |
Digilady | Sunday, March 04, 2001 - 09:57 am  Sis - choose someone else. LOL! We'll nab ole Lance when he gets home. |
Soeur | Sunday, March 04, 2001 - 11:35 am  Lance is on holiday? Verrrrry nice.... |
Soeur | Sunday, March 04, 2001 - 11:40 am  How about a volunteer? .... .... ....  |
Lancecrossfire | Sunday, March 04, 2001 - 12:00 pm  I'm here --- truth |
Soeur | Sunday, March 04, 2001 - 12:15 pm  Wonderful to see you Lance. Truth. What has given you the most joy in your life? |
Lancecrossfire | Sunday, March 04, 2001 - 06:05 pm  Soeur, I'd like to give this some consideration. I have two different approaches I'm thinking of to answer with. I'm not checking in as often as when I'm in my office, although I'll be looking in on a regular basis. I'll be back tomorrow with an answer. |
Lancecrossfire | Tuesday, March 06, 2001 - 07:26 am  Sorry about being late with this. I have two thoughts on this. One has to do with specifics, the other with a big generality. There are two things in my life that has brought the most positive into my life. One is all the positive things I've gotten to experience with my 3 boys. They are quite independent at this point and have very strong wills. While that has provided for some challenging times in their earlier years, it has been good for them in their adult years. The next specific situation is the enjoyment I get from helping out other folks. I don't have the resources to do something nice for everyone in the world, so I help folks that I know in some manner. The details are of little importance except to those folks. Suffice it to say I really enjoy doing nice things. Now for the more general approach to what I enjoy--life itself. Life has given me joy. As with anyone else, there has been good and bad times, although I've had a great time trying to improve myself as a person. I also believe everyone should leave the earth a better place than the way they found it. I would take great joy in being able to succeed at that in even some small way. |
Soeur | Tuesday, March 06, 2001 - 09:23 am  Yeah Lance! Definitely worth waiting for. Your kindness and considerate nature is evident in everythng you post.  |
Digilady | Tuesday, March 06, 2001 - 10:47 am  So Lance! Up to you now. Pick someone for the dreaded... TorD!! |
Lancecrossfire | Tuesday, March 06, 2001 - 11:13 am  Elitist--will you play? T or D?? |
Elitist | Tuesday, March 06, 2001 - 11:28 am  Somehow I knew you were going to ask OK Truth. |
Lancecrossfire | Tuesday, March 06, 2001 - 11:49 am  When you switched from working for someone else to working for yourself, what was the biggest emotional or psychological hurdle you faced--and what did you do to over come it? (is that what you thought I'd ask?) By the way, do you have time from that private chat anytime today? |
Elitist | Tuesday, March 06, 2001 - 12:18 pm  I doubt if I can do the private chat today - working behind a firewall. Let me think over this question - lots of stuff went on during that time period and I have to decide which was the biggest. |
Guruchaz | Tuesday, March 06, 2001 - 12:23 pm  Yeah, make sure it spreads like wildfire. This thread, I mean. |
Lancecrossfire | Tuesday, March 06, 2001 - 12:29 pm  Ok E. I'll catch you later. I wanted to pick your brain about some of the aspects of self-owned business that might not be covered in your typical small business course. Also thought it would provide some good insights into you as a person. |
Kearie | Tuesday, March 06, 2001 - 12:46 pm  hey all...count me in this mess. :-) |
