Upon awakening tomorrow would you prefer to be BP's President or President of the USA?

Subject: Re: Hypothetical Situations Sun Jun 27, 2010 3:52 am

Better that I didn't wake up me thinks. Hypothetical Situations Sleep

Subject: Re: Hypothetical Situations Sun Jun 27, 2010 3:56 am

Sorry--not an option.

Subject: Re: Hypothetical Situations Sun Jun 27, 2010 8:23 am

Sorry none of them. BP's boss is in a barrel full of horse manure and the USA President just has to much worry to deal with keeping the planet from being invaded by the aliens, hehehe Hypothetical Situations Icon_lol

No much better being me. Who needs all that money, anyways?

Oh, hold on a minute, that would be me, wouldn't it. Doh!

Subject: Re: Hypothetical Situations Sun Jun 27, 2010 8:26 am

Billy,

So good to hear your hehe!

Subject: Re: Hypothetical Situations Wed Jun 30, 2010 9:59 am

How about Rowlings or King?

Subject: Re: Hypothetical Situations Wed Jun 30, 2010 10:07 am

Neither. I didn't write to become rich and famous. I could cope with the rich thing but not the fame. Seems they go hand in hand. Rowling has been dragged into lawsuits because of jealousy. I've had a taste of that and I can do without it.

Subject: Re: Hypothetical Situations Wed Jun 30, 2010 10:20 am

I truly want to be myself, just with more financial resources to make choices.

Subject: Re: Hypothetical Situations Wed Jun 30, 2010 10:37 am

It doesn't work that way, D.K. "Starving Artist" didn't come about by accident. Human behaviour demands focusing on a few at the expense of many. When a disaster occurs, we cannot focus on the plight of thousands. When a child is stuck down a well or a whale trapped close to the ice cap, the world becomes mesmerised. We can all identify with a single entity.

Being me is fine, as being someone else would leave me confused when I looked in the mirror and seen this other person staring back, aaaaahhhhhh.
Sorry bad dream, hehehe Hypothetical Situations Icon_lol

Subject: Re: Hypothetical Situations Wed Jun 30, 2010 1:58 pm

I’ll be happy just awakening tomorrow!

Subject: Re: Hypothetical Situations Wed Jun 30, 2010 2:28 pm

Keep waking up each morning, Don. By the end of this week, you should receive an email from me with a PDF file of your interview for Literature & Fiction Interviews Volume 2. Please could you send me an excerpt of the book mentioned in the interview (opening paragraph(s)).

Thanks!

Subject: Re: Hypothetical Situations Wed Jun 30, 2010 2:53 pm

Well, thanks all--great perspectives.

I'd be myself at age 47.

Subject: Re: Hypothetical Situations Wed Jun 30, 2010 3:13 pm

Before Parkinson's. I was born with a defect. I'd still be in the womb if I wanted to go back before it was visible to the world.

My husband was injured at the age of twenty-three. If he went back to that age, he wouldn't have met me.

Did you have grandchildren at the age of forty-three? Just curious.

Subject: Re: Hypothetical Situations Wed Jun 30, 2010 3:40 pm

Shelagh,

I said 47. No grandchildren until I was 53.

I was over the loss of my parents, working, involved in church politics, (still thought the church was perfect) entertaining, having fun.

What defect were you born with?

I'm not Shelagh, but if you asked me,

I have been told that my first sentence was, "I can do it by myself." I would say that was probably it.

I don't think I want to go back. For all the screw-ups, I'm content with today.

Ann,

Stay the way you are.

the goblin thought hard and then recounted the legend that she had in fact been born with a wooden leg and a perch for a parrot, and where her first words were jimlad, and how she had soon grown up to become the surge of the sea, "...but I think I should really let shelagh tell for herself..."

Being me is enough. I wouldn't want other people's troubles.

Zada, You wondeful creature! Stay here and start a thread.

Subject: Re: Hypothetical Situations Thu Jul 01, 2010 4:11 am

Shelagh,

Where is your oxygen mask?

Subject: Re: Hypothetical Situations Thu Jul 01, 2010 5:10 am

That is my disability, Alice. The ability to breathe.

Subject: Re: Hypothetical Situations Thu Jul 01, 2010 5:24 am

I wouldn't call that a disaibility--more like a necessity.

Also at 47, I still had all of my body parts.

I miss my spleen.
