I can't think of another two, except maybe also that feeling one gets when one's enemies beg like women for their lives, so that they arrive in hell as pathetic, simpering cowards.

So that's four.

I guess a fifth would the sharing and open vulnerability that creates such a loving and caring environment in group therapy. Or maybe it's the hugs. Hard to decide.

I AM curious though

What is the history of the Duct-taped Duck . . .

Something tells me I should know . .

[graywarrior]

72. OK...here goes....again

2003, the Bush assholes told Americans to stock up on duct tape and plastic while we wait for the inevitable biological or chemical terrorist attack. Somehow, the duck tape showed up on DU from somewhere and I stole him and he's been my sig ever since.

[Bucky]

5. Politics

Okay, that's six. You can't teach without learning, though. There's just no word for the two of them together

[sohndrsmith]

80. Cool! Sounds fun:

(Disclaimer - these aren't in any sort of order as far as most-to-least important... I would have a hard time making this hierarchical.)

1. Thinking, theorizing, debating ethical, political, socio/psychological, historical issues (for starters).
2. Help others solve problems, find the positive
3. Painting (creating artwork in general. I can no more live without food and water than I can without paint - it's a physical hunger).
4. Writing
5. Being non-judgmental, compassionate

Okay - I failed. I can't do just 5 - none of my answers are singular. And I'd need to list about 10 more to give an accurate account of the things I'm passionate about.... : )

Maybe I'll try again when my brain is feeling more streamlined... or not.

[Inchworm]

actually there's a few more, but that't pretty much the first 5, not in any order.

Avoiding public motivational speakers would be #6.

mark

[Mind_your_head]

89. Why should I do that on a public board? Are you going to weave them

into a nice hat for me or something? :shrug:

[graywarrior]

90. How did you guess?

[Mind_your_head]

91. LOL - I "know you so well" even though I've never met you.....

I'm sure you probably asked this with the "best of intentions", but your question is a VERY PRIVATE, PERSONAL question! And (psssst ~ there are 'entities about' who pay to get/earn to give "personal information"......that's the "new game".

To posters let me say that, no one can invade your privacy, UNLESS YOU LET THEM/TELL THEM (on a message board?) Go out an make some friends, share your secrets with THEM. Don't post your "deep personal feelings" on a message board.

My best advice,
M_Y_H

Things change, dude, as one gets older.

[Mind_your_head]

94. Yeah.....you don't have to worry about 'safe sex' because 'no sex at all if pretty safe"

However, if you've got teenage children (like I have).....all that facebooking, information sharing....nothing WRONG with that except it's basically "public" AND accessible to the ISP (Internet Service Providers) which is bascially the government ~ Big Brother.
