QTPi 0 #8 February 11, 2003 What is normal?? No hope of going back to your previous life! You might as well give up half of your income (or more) to this new life. -- A mind that is stretched by a new experience can never go back to its old dimensions. -Oliver Wendel Holmes Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
a97virago 0 #9 February 11, 2003 I thought it was 90% of your income and 50% of your free time! At least that's the way it is for me. And I wouldn't have it any other way!

blewaway5 0 #10 February 11, 2003 Welcome to the madness. I've heard of this normal world you speak of in old myths and fairy tales, and it seems like I vaguely remember it from some distant lifetime. Seems like I didn't like it much anyway Truman Sparks for President Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
