6. Anything with more than one paragraph and I'm gone.
I have zero attention span. ZERO. Yes, I am one of "those".

11. What I love is that the most recent one was even edited....
and it was still exceedingly wordy.

...regardless of the message.

but I definitely don't find his delivery constructive or helpful.

19. It's just as well.
Think about it, a space alien sent down to help us cure disease by soaking in very hot water?

When was he going to suggest adding potatoes and carrots?

Hell, he probably wrote the first chapter of "To Serve Man".

20. He is not being clear...
Is he saying that humanity is immense, or what he has to offer is immense.
If he is saying humanity is immense then he has put forth a large challenge to himself to offer it something of worth.
If what he has to offer is immense, it is somewhat of the inverse - where is the challenge?

Clearer statements -
I'm looking for a place worthy of me; what I have to offer humanity is immense.

or

I'm looking for a place worthy of me; humanity is immense and I have things to offer.

I was going to write 3 or 4 more paragraphs but my fingers are tired and I'm sleepy.

21. Humanity is not the subject, what he has to offer is the subject.
Or so it seems to me.

22. If you measure the offering by lines of text, then perhaps what he has to offer...
is, indeed, immense.

30. nah, I don't have a horsie -wonder who it was?
maybe another tiger... ?


we are looking at high schools for my son - 9th grade is looming. Pretty bizarre trying to find the right fit. It's almost like applying to colleges, with all the essays, aplications, auditions, visits, and testing... :crazy:

36. Move to a small town.
You only have one, whether you like it or not.

I do understand your hassle because I remember when I lived in NYC all those years ago and my teenage neighbors were going through the high school search/try outs. Good luck with finding the school that is best for your son.

37. I grew up in a small town - and there were only 2 choices
Catholic school - where I went and the public school, where I went to high school. Both were fine. We live in a pretty large urban area, so there are more options, which is good and kind of a pain.


thanks btw! :hi:
