Ha, ha, ha ... no, it is my passive aggressive side handling the comments when expletives would otherwise come out. Besides, I've outgrown getting high and I never know when I'll be subjected to a drug test. It was a fun thing to do back in the day but it just isn't worth the trouble it can cause now.

Oh, I don't wish to lay anyone on the ground. It was just a commentary that if what one sees in front of their face is dirt, then one hasn't reached a height worth bragging about.
My dad was forever saying things like: The measure of a person is from the neck up. I thought he was saying that to make me feel better about being short in a family of tall people. One day, though, that little saying made sense. Of course, there are other gems that don't make any sense at all to me and probably never will. Like "you can catch more flies with honey." Why would I want to catch flies in the first place? Just swat them with a flyswatter, scoop them in the trash and be done with it. Guess that is why I wouldn't make much of a diplomat.

Oh, and on being 50 - I'm quite liking it for the most part. I've done all that stuff I felt I was supposed to do - marriages, kids, divorces, careers, mortgages, 401ks, lots of housework, laundry, yardwork and cooking for unappreciative people. That is all fine and good and for the most part I don't regret it. However, now that I've done those things and they are out of the way, a whole new set of possibilities has opened up. No, I'm not likely to climb mountains or swim oceans but I wasn't interested in that 30 years ago either. But, I can do many other things. Like this weekend. I'm going out of town to a conference for a few days with a small group of friends. We'll have a good time and I'm looking forward to it very much. I have a final exam Monday but I'm not worried about because I've learned most of this subject from experience. Don't have to worry about the kids or take them along. Only parents can truly appreciate this statement - I'm blessed. I have the elements in my life that make it rich - family, home, roots, friends, knowing how I fit into my world. And, I have my life back. Fifty is pretty good. Now, if I could just hang out here for a very, very long time, that would be awesome. See you next week.

Ha! Yeah, maybe so, but you've got a sense of humor about you, too. The victim could laugh, if they only would.Mentalist said:
If I wear shoes with heels and really thick socks, then stand on a phonebook, I can tippy toe up to 5'4-1/2". As long as my feet reach the floor when I'm sitting down, I'm okay.
