Oct 16th---Dictionary Day
I will be working on my "Do-It-Yourself" dictionary. I am going to add the word "Grandiose" which means: 1. having grandeur; imposing. 2. pompous and showy.
I really need some help here! Please post more words and definitions I can add to the dictionary, serious, funny, cute, etc. all accepted.

That's quite an undertaking. You could be collecting words for the rest of your life and not even finish.
My contribution will be antidisestablishmentarianism, meaning opposition to the disestablishment of the Church of England, or opposition to the belief that there should no longer be an official church in a country.

Shyhawk, are you a Black Adder fan, by any chance?

Oct 19th Evaluate Your Life Day
I am not leaving a mark on this world that will be remembered by generations to come. So my life seems empty, futile, and meaningless from this point of view----depressing.
Because I don't like being depressed, I have chosen a different viewpoint; that of my ancestors. Would they not be in awe of some of the things I have done? These are just ordinary things to the people of today and will be much less, perhaps, to the people of the future.
Some cases in point: 1. I have travelled from Reno, Nv to Alaska in a matter of hours---I was in a vehicle that flew through the air---I flew between two cloud layers for a very magical 15 or 20 minutes---I looked down on vast areas of the earth in one glance. 2. I have survived cancer. 3. I have written information to a person 6 thousand miles away and he received it in only a moment. 4. I have survived a 7.1 earthquake while in a 15 story building. 5. I own and drive my own private vehicle that is capable of speeds in excess of 100 miles per hour.
These are just a few ordinary, everyday, things in my eyes and yours. However, what would our ancestors think if we could tell them the things we have done. They would be in awe (and sometimes very shocked) to think their progeny would be capable of such things.
I feel so much better now! How about you?..............FDIMH.................Darlene |

GP: No, I have never seen Black Adder, though I have heard of it. British, right?
Evaluating my life...a daunting task. I submit that most people would probably be disappointed as they look back on what their endless toil has brought them.
I am happy, however. I have seen parts of the planet that others have not.

Thanks, Darlene!
Unfortunately, I ended up working all this weekend, inlcuding my birthday. Oh well...
BTW, I did observe No Beard Day - it took about ten years off my face. Gonna try the cleanshaven thing for a week or two, then probably grow it back again.

General Phoenix,
Be careful not to catch a cold until you get used to the Bald face look. Was sorry you couldn't be here for your birthday. I really looked foreward to the babbling you mentioned. Probably just as well, the doctor didn't show up either.......................Darlene
