I always thought he was kind of nuts but, in hindsight, I guess it's all about attitude, isn't it... and how to turn your losses into gains.
Well, time to hit the sack as 4:00 am comes early. Gotta drive the family to the airport. Goodnite Dbers.


whatisis,

I have heard that about sales people as well........

The dating arena is interesting...... One can just about always find someone who is attracted to you.... It is just a matter of time....... The funny thing is you sometimes do approach that woman you think will say "no" and she ends up digging you BIG time.....

I heard a very wise man say the best advise his father gave him was... "Son, it NEVER hurts to ask." I have applied that tidbit of wisdom to so many areas...... And I am surprised over and over again!

Take Care,

NMD
