Testing 1, 2, 3...



Like it or not, we all face frequent incidental testing and circumstantial trials. Robert Frost once wrote an essay titled, "Trial by Existence". Some pundit recently quipped that "Life is a hell of a thing to happen to a person." My perspective is that our challenges may include thought, people, system and disaster testing with only two possible outcomes at any point in time: fail the test of the moment, be prepared to repeat it; pass it and move on to the next progressive difficulty level of testing.

Your perspective?

That sounds very similar to something I heard on the history chanel the other night but with one,slight, modification..."please"... and it wasn't a postcard they were referring to. Seems to me they went to prison for a longggggg time. Actually I think they're still there. Hope you have a "better" lawyer than they did.

Stone them to death first, then shred them, then put them on a buss and crash them into a gas station!

Every time you post I pause, and tell myself... "I bet GB is a very normal person in real life".

I'm not sure how long I can keep it up to be honest.
