When my wife is within my company, I am always the pessimist, she is always the optimist.  When she's at work, I'm am the optimist.  Both sides, depends what the topic is.

Well, I personally think the glass itself is WAY overmodeled in terms of drinking performance....

and, historically, the glass was used in quite a differnt fashion than we use it here...

and I also suspect that this glass does not hold quite as much as it would in RL...

BUT...I'm pretty certain that my AH glass is

HALF-FULL!

For me, it depends upon what is in the glass.
If it's something I like, then I see that glass as half empty.

If it's something yucky, then it is always more than half full and filling fast.

I'm working on just seeing a glass with something in it and then being able to decide whether I want to pick the glass up and drink from it or simply pour it out.

Sorry, but I'm a realist......
If you are drinking from the glass, it's half empty, if you are filling it up, it's half full......... BUT if it's just sitting there........ it's just half a glass of water.  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Back when I had my 486sx20 and was playing Falcon 3.0 in all its splendor, my glass was full.  Unfortunately, it was only an 8 oz glass.

When I moved on to my first on-line flight sim I found that my glass was now half full... still the same 8 oz... only now it was in a 16 oz glass.

Now that I'm playing AH, my glass is only 1/4 full.  Fortunately, HTC seems to have their hand on the tap still (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif).  I'm just waiting to see where they stop.  Oh... btw... I've migrated up to the 32 oz super quencher series of expectations (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

Hehhehe Duck... depends on yer geographical perspective; and tastes I guess. (hang shudders)

Here in the States there's only a small distiction. Wieners.. weenies.. pretty much the same thing. Only slight diffrences in packaging. Example.. Bill Gates is a weenie. George Bush is a wiener. See what I mean?

The glass is never empty in RL or VL.  Nature abhors a vaccum(sp?).  The glass will remain full until their is no more glass.

I try to keep my glass empty.  That way if someone wants to speak to me, they can fill it up without spilling a drop.

Half full of what?  

If its Gin, then its half full then I dump it it the sink.

If its "Beer" then its half empty and time to refill it.   (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
