Quote of the Day...

"What would men be without women? Scarce, sir... mighty scarce."

-Mark Twain-

Here's one I like: "Take risks, not to escape life, but to keep life from
escaping you." I don't know who said it. It was on a sign at the airport
where JimE jumped.

Lou...

Probably dreamed up by a parachute maker.

I tried searching the web the quote and had no luck but did find an iteresting site:

Chakolate...

I love and hate this site. I love it for the content, but I hate it for
the terrible design. Black on dark blue? Come on.

Fortunately Firefox has a bookmarklet that lets you 'zap colors' and
makes my life much easier. :-)

Chakolate...

GMTA. I searched the web for it, too, and had a bit better luck by just doing 'keep
life from escaping'. I still couldn't find the author.

I agree. totally... taking risks is not a matter of "proving
yourself"... taking risks is an activity to take your life to a new plane
of existence. I could go bungee-jumping, but that does not improve the
quality of my life... to take risks to "make life more exciting" is to
miss the purpose of life.

**Dalin**...

What is the purpose of life?

Chakolate...

To find the meaning of life. Which is 42.

david...

well, dang!!!!! here I was, all prepared to spend my remaining years in
earnest search of the meaning of life..... and now you've *ruined* it all
by telling me..... now what'll I do? dang, dang...

**Dalin**...

So all of us over 42 know it! But we are sworn to secrecy and can't
tell. But if someone would whisper in my ear .....

Dalin 39 and holding

Jean B....

LOL!

Holding is okay, but you'd be much better off going backward.

My friend's uncle stopped getting older when he was 83, but after a
couple of years he decided that wasn't doing the trick and decided to go
back one each year. By the time he died he was 68. :-)

Thanks, Lou. I've bookmarked the site.

Lou...

Your Welcome, My pleasure:-))
