Try to post them so quickly that no other person posts any new question(s) before you post your five. Ready, set, GO!~

He said it's been happening to him for most of his adult life (he's about 40 years old now.)

You can't do a dam* thing with it. It just sits there. But Dranking? It has style, class, pizazz. It is memorable, unique, distinct, creative. D'ya like?

Do we need to believe in someone sometime somewhere or is that just for children? The more I learn the sadder I get. :(

When do you seek and find the BEST? When you do how much time do you give to that? Why?

Some try hard but do not have the right stuff to do any good. Mostly they are in politics to make money and suck up to power and get rich. That is not worthy of being praised or admired or saluted or supported. it should be pointed out and called out relentlessly. Yet you see how many people adore the donjohn. Go figger! It takes all kinds. The donjohn attacks/insults/derogates/demeans/lies 24/7. Why should he be exempt from getting back he dishes out? less

I prepared the working papers each year in advance of the audit and she was assigned to me. Her name was Miki. Young enough to be my daughter. She was very knowledgeable. VERY SMART. And she taught me a lot about accounting and how to do my work during the year so that it would make year-end review a snap! I also had a boss who was the smartest person I've ever met. I think he was 20 years younger than me! I didn't care. I take information/knowledge from any source. Age is irrelevant to me. It seems to be very important to some. Is it important to you? Why? less

But generally speaking the older you are the closer you are to death. What else?

Seriously? Old Age is not a guarantee of smarts or wisdom or intelligence. All it is a guarantee of is that the old fogeys are closer to death than the young people. Period. And to be rattled/angry about young people marching and speaking out says everything we need to know about them. These kids LIVED THROUGH terror. Have they? No wonder we are in the mess we're in. The old fogeys refuse to listen to the young. The old fogeys think they know everything there is to know and that the young people have nothing to add to the conversation and should just shut up. Old fogeys are destroying our country. Our only hope lies with the young. SIGH. less

In a whisper, my CEO admonished me: "Not a word to anyone, please." I quietly shook my head in agreement. As they exited the lift, the lady looked back, her eyes silently imploring me not to betray them.
