When I was writing my paper on existential and person centered Counselling I used his quote around the number 42 as my first quote to debate Existentialism lol

Personally, I like to keep the missus on her toes. I always introduce her as my current wife.

Hah!
I know someone who, in his wedding reception speech, referred to his bride as his first wife. He thought everyone would take it in the spirit in which it was intended.
He was wrong.
Very wrong!

I refer to my son as my favourite or least favourite, depending on whether he's annoyed me. Both expressions fit!

Don't shout at me. My husband used to do that, he's dead now. There may be no connection but do you really want to take that chance?

I can't stand these energy saving bulbs, it's the time between dim & bright that does my head in. For instance i want to go in the bedroom in the evening to just get a pair of Jeans out the wardrobe, switching the light on to see what i am doing is absolutely pointless because it's still dim when ive gotten my jeans out so i may aswell be a bat.

I've become used to it - my new-ish house has extreme low power CFL bulbs with a different pin type, and they take a full 2 minutes to come on strong, but I cope without thinking about them now.

I've got one in the stairway and if I switch it on at the bottom it's just bright enough to see to turn it off at the top.

You could try reading a book by Ekhart Tolle's called "The power of now". And yes, retirement is good, if you have enough wonga to enjoy things. |
