We cultivate relationships out here that challenge and bolster our e-mages.<BR/>Thank goodness for that because I can't seem to strike up decent discussions about agnosticism or evolution in the supermarket check out line..no matter how hard I try.<BR/><BR/>laura e,<BR/>aww shucks yourself...you deserve the kudos..you put forward posts that rattle around in my head and make me examine the question inside the question. I need that.<BR/><BR/>cazzie,<BR/>and it works! We need to see that it is the little day to day things that mould us and shape our lives.<BR/>It's fun to reminisce and celebrate the minutiae of our friends and families...because it tells us that we all crave the same things in this world..after all is said and done..Life is all about the quality of our relationships.<BR/><BR/>kesh,<BR/>You betcha'...I look up to you as someone who has forged a genuine concern in the blogosphere and that is quite an accomplishment since there are about 12 million blogs out there.<BR/>As long as you are getting your thoughts out there and reimbursing the other people who are helping you it is all to the good.<BR/><BR/>andrea,<BR/>your CSI latout and desperate lines were awesome.."get a life" maybe the best advice that I have heard all day!

I consider you to be quite free and open.<BR/>You are right people do like to talk about themselves and it is through that initial sharing that we discover that we might be driving down different paths but we're trying to end up at the same party.Romeo Morningwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10826410608415260786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22457519.post-1164079564543207792006-11-20T21:26:00.000-06:002006-11-20T21:26:00.000-06:00I enjoyed that thoughtful poem.

I feel that most people aren't interested in others - they seem primarily interested in talking about themselves. I'm a wonderful listener, but don't give up much information about myself. I'd say I divulge about 20% of me online, versus about 15% offline... if even that much.annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10528972018222777551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22457519.post-1164075447119011982006-11-20T20:17:00.000-06:002006-11-20T20:17:00.000-06:00btw HE I dreamt of u last nite...details will be r...btw HE I dreamt of u last nite...details will be revealed depending on ur availability LOL!<BR/><BR/>Keshi.Keshihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17147250771662427208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22457519.post-1164073738127775592006-11-20T19:48:00.000-06:002006-11-20T19:48:00.000-06:00I don't expose much either online or in the "real ...I don't expose much either online or in the "real world", or on air, either.

It says it all; it was my effort to poke fun at the whole process (a process I'm highly suspicious of) by writing an extremely tongue-in-cheek limerick. I will also freely admit that the poem was also a poke at the uber-serious blog writer who was my 'competetion' as I watched her pull some dirty tactics in the voting (it was a different, more transparent process)and show some bad sportsmanship in the forum. Most of these contests aren't really judgements of merit but popularity contests.
