I take care of the governmental and environmental reporting and safety for a chemical manufacturer.Quote:
papayahed: what do you do for a living, and does this contribute to your great sage-like knowledge of 80s rock?
My knowledge of 80's rock comes from a love of music and that fact that I was a teenager during that era. Yes, I have a whole mess of cassette tapes of Motley Crue, Ratt, and Judas Priest....
I'm in the middle of my move, currently I'm still living in a hotel, I rented an apartment but can't move in until next week and I still haven't packed up, or cleaned, or listed my house in MI yet.

[QUOTE=papyahed] what does that mean exactly? i am changing my major to environmental science water resources. which is basically testing water for companies or the epa etc
Wait, I missed something... So are mono and Psyche an official couple? and did they meet here or just one of them dragged the other into the forum madness?Quote:

I want to ask HELGA;
What kind of spiders do you have where you live, if any? Or, insects, maybe?
well, i'm not a civil war buff Yet, but am fascinated by it - most especially the battle of gettysburg.Quote:

to mono: same question - it's a great one! you've extremely diverse yourself. :)
i wish i still lived in california so i could visit you and Psyche. LUSH is a great site, btw. thanks to both of you. :)
That is a good question.......and the real, short answer would be, NOTHING!!.......BUT.......Quote:

But it is coming to an end, this tour of leisure. At the end of April I will return to my home in British Columbia, CAnada. I told myself I would take a year holiday, but it has been extended a bit longer. And now I'm excited to be going home again.........(Gonna see my friend Verybadmom when I get home...)
I haven't had a job since November of 1993, I haven't had to work, so I did not.....but discovering a small and latent talent for writing has reinvigorated me, injected me with the drive I've so longed for and truly mourned the loss of for many years....bit of an 'empty nest syndrome' sufferer.....
So, I will write. I may be successful or I may not, but I will take the challenge, give it my best shot, and die happy knowing I will enjoy the attempt at being true to myself.......and besides, what is the worst that can happen????
*grimaces, tries not explore that last thought*
Excellent post, baddad. While I read the message slowly, you remind me so much of one of my favorite writers, D.H. Lawrence. Hopefully you take that as a compliment, and continue to pursue your expressed passions in life, as he did, writing so much.Quote:

Since childhood, I have always had a very strong liking of being around nature, usually through the means of walking, hiking, and bicycling. Call me a "wanna-be" transcendentalist, but I have incessantly found something so alluring in naturally scenic areas.
baddad: do you have any greatest influences in writing?
lhaeber: just out of curiosity, where do you reside?
Vancouver, B.C. Ask me if I love living here, go on, ask me...
Taliesin; what the hey ho happened, you were stolen? did you answer already and I missed it, or did you avoid answering and now I'm bringing it up again.
Sounds extremely interesting... It reminds me... In my short travels around Europe I've met plenty of young (and sometimes less young) people from the USA and Canada that were just taking one year off travellling Europe on their own... And for me and whoever else was travelling with me this was just so strange! We understand of course the desire to travel, but we feel it must be so strange to be pretty much homeless for such a long time, and basically alone in the adventure...and most of all we can't help wondering where they get the money from, to do that...(even a few days of holiday are not that cheap if you need a place to stay)Quote:
