Den...is the glass always half full for you? Is there a perpetual cloud of gloom over your head?

Why try harder? life will just plain suck no matter what, huh?

You can discount the report all you want, people like you always do. If you are of a generally negative attitude you will always find something bad at the end of even the brightest rainbow, I feel sorry for you.

The report I cited is based in verifiable fact, however it is a nationwide synopsis and does not take into account your particular brand of localized misery.

NU....when I said,"I don't have the luxury of a fat state sponsered benefits package unfortunately." I really meant, "unfortunatly". I wish I had a set up even close to that. Sadly, such is not my lot in life. I have to get everything on my own, no paid holiday's, no sick days for me, paid vacations? I don't think so.

I don't dwell on it, I overcome.

I also don't have the benefit of higher education like John FM does, my choice.....I regret it now but not too much.

If you don't icefish, it's time you started....I'll keep you in mind when the first CTF outing gets planned.
