Hey, when it comes down to it... on this BBS... that's pretty much all I'm aiming for. :)

So thanks.

But your attempt at categorization (or what the shreck ever that's spelled) is just smallish....

Lotsa folks glued to Oprah or making nifty Christmas hand puppets a la the chick who just got busted - totally drawing a blank on her name.

Point is, it means nothing.

I'll choose to live my life with integrity. You go ahead and choose to live it under incredibly asinine pretenses under the banner of... I-dunno-what.

You go girl...

Fairy tales can come true, it can happen to you
If you’re young at heart
For it’s hard, you will find, to be narrow of mind
If you’re young at heart

You can go to extremes with impossible schemes
You can laugh when your dreams fall apart at the seams
And life gets more exciting with each passing day
And love is either in your heart or on it’s way

Don’t you know that it’s worth every treasure on earth
To be young at heart
For as rich as you are it’s much better by far
To be young at heart

And if you should survive to 105
Look at all you’ll derive out of being alive
Then here is the best part
You have a head start
If you are among the very young at heart
:cool:

Aw c'mon.. tell me all you know about my life.

Pleeeeeeeeeeeeezzzzzzzzze?

I mean, a man of integrity like yourself and all........ you must know everything so go ahead.
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animated contest of freedom, go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen!

The essence of integrity is humbleness.

I am humble enough not to presume to know everything about you.

I'm merely interpreting the things you have said about your own life. And frankly Toad, your last one/two years don't paint a good picture wrt to how you got completely screwed.

I could be wrong... but that's my humbleness talking.

I may not always be right, but I'm never uncertain.

And I'm pretty certain here. I need to work on that, I know.

Ya know it ain't all just about money, though that certainly is important. Being a conservative, among many other things, means understanding that freedom ain't free (nor is it just another word). It must be protected, and not just with words but with actions. You don't have to give up any idealism to become a conservative MT, just open your eyes and wake up. :aok

Aw...come on in MT...the water's fine.

The rumors of our depravity are greatly exaggerated.

I may be a conservative but I'm just sloppin' over with compassion.  If you join before the first of November we'll plant a tree in Guatemala in your honor.

We'll even let you keep your IQ points.

That would require mucho digging and punting of your threads.

Does Rip offer his services on a pay/hour basis?

Otherwise...

Okay, fine... Yer all happy about it and things are golden for you.

Cheers.

BTW, I always felt the essence of integrity was firm adherence to a code of especially moral or artistic values, in short, incorruptibility.

I've never actually heard anyone link integrity with humility or being humble.

You must be humble to truly adhere.

You obviously didn't read the fine print.

Surely you can give me the "Cliff's Notes" of how I got screwed?

I mean, what happened to me? I may be going alzheimer's here, but I don't remember spilling the sad story of how I got shafted by someone or something out on the BBS.

Or it could be that I didn't get screwed?

C'mon Nash... don't play games with us oldsters! Spill it! What happened to me? I HAVE to know!
