Yeah, yeah, I know. It's customary to say, "These are the best days because carpe diem and all that jazz" but when, for you, was a time you look back on with pleasure?
Not really, just picked some dates. I guess there is some truth to it for me, things just got crappy after 9/11 and around '04 was around the time the stupidity that followed really sank in and was up and running.
Grim days in the US. One guy I know said he and his wife went to a Pakistani restaurant that night somehwere in CA (Fresno, I think) and he said the attitude of the Pakistani waiters was similar to what you'd expect from the supporters of a winning football team.
I know how that hits. I was in an industry that was steamrolled by computers. I lost my job in 1988 and then tumbled from one to another after that until I retired. Hope things are good for you now.
Dozy, I can't really say there is any time of my life I have liked as much as right now...
Maybe the years from 1989 through 1999, because that is when I was having lots of spectacular dreams, and I had discovered Carl Jung dream meanings, and got REALLY fascinated by the idea that we can look into our unconscious mind...archetypes...and oh I was working on the meaning of life, and all that...
Now I just let others worry about life and its meaning, and go have coffee... Actually now I am working on SAVING the world...that's fun...even if it takes through next year! (Gonna enlist aMuggers for that, too...orready got the Blurters on it)

I think you're doing exceptionally well, Virginia. Our drought has broken and the rain has come so what's happening here confirms your positive action. Now do you think you could pay attention to the Oroville Dam?
Ha.. I happen to be a bit of a fan of Jung's dream theory as I can identify with it... hardly a night passes where I don't have vivid dreams that I can remember. As far as the meaning of life goes... I have to admit I've become a little lazy... I've left that in the hands of Monty Python. :-))
I don't normally remember my dreams. Most of those I do recall are pretty good. But Monty Python? Well, why not? Perhaps we could start a new religion and call ourselves the Pythons. Or the Monties. We could worship in the full monty.
I could see myself doing that.. after all I make good use of my time walk home from the pub after a night out with the girls by practicing my Ministry of Silly Walks.
