    Do you like seeing stinky hippies and freebirds in the NW all the time? I know I sure didn't, they were always dirty and wreaked!

    This may be personal, but I'm being sincere. I remember you used to seem more unahappy with mary and more complaining and stuff. what did you do to improve it? Did she change? Did you ? what's your secret to success?

    I hate it. When I see them I think of the failures of Society. I'm out-numbered. We even have one as Governoress.

    I never really meant to complain - but just state facts. In a nutshell, she stopped being Crazy.

    We BOTH reduced the amount of self - We increased the amount of interdependence. We started following BIBLICAL examples of how a marriage should be. I started 'husbanding'. When She does something crazy, my first reaction USED to be 'That horrible woman. That hurts me!" Now, through a LOT of prayer and a lot of guidance from EJY, my thought is "Darin? Do you have GRACE for her? Can you forgive her?"

    Shit like that.

    What would you call a person who spends hundreds of dollars attempting to boost the horsepower in his commuter car?

    Boost his horsepower? Or make the manufacturer deliver a properly-running engine in his commuter car?

    Boosting the HP by spending 'hundreds' - I'd call that person an ethusiast - trying to make the best out of what he can afford.

    Making the Auto Maker deliver a properly-running car? I'd call that person fiscally-responsible.

    But I haven't spent hundreds of dollars trying to boost my car's horsepower. I've spent about $1000 going for 'sound' (exhaust) and effeciency (intake). I've spent $700 on suspension-bits so it corners 'better' and junk.

    If I want to boost my car's horsepower enough to feel it, I'd need to spend THOUSANDS.

    Not worth it, IMO.

    Why do you drive on a parkway but park in a driveway?

    Why is kidnapping a federal offense while catnapping is an enjoyable pasttime?

    Why do the British never sound British when they sing?

    If money doesn't grow on trees, then why do banks have branches?

    Not yet - probably never. There's nothing I can do to become successfull in the BIG picture. I'll have God-granted 'little' successful moments, I hope.
