I had a great guy I worked with years ago. When he was feeling down, he would say "I complained about my shoes until I looked down and saw a man with no feet" He was always up beat. The type of person that makes you feel good just to be around him. :D

I'm sorry, but you will have trouble gaining any traction or credibility with me relating to this topic, as you write from your humble abode in MAUI, with an apparent endless supply of "dough". B-)

Ed,

Trust me. My life is a modest one. It's all relative my friend. All relative.

Sam,
That is why I just love "Okies"
My family still lives there. I miss them.
Love to you and your Bride and congratulations on 54 years,

My dad use to say "don't sweat the small stuff" and almost every day I wish I could easily follow his advice. We all take too much for granted but isn't that just our nature?

Paul,

Sadly, I think it is human nature, which is why *I* think it is important to remind ourselves from time to time.....about "not sweating the small stuff"

I have a freind in Canada that seems to NEVER have a bad day. I once asked him how he does it. His reply? Just like your Dad's with an addition.

"I don't sweat the small stuff, and it's ALL small stuff"... which when you think about it, is true.

One cannot have an abode IN Maui. Unless of course it is underground. But I do have a home ON Maui.

Again Ed, whatever it is that I have done to offend you, I'm truly sorry.

Hmmm....let me think about it.

. --->O.K. , I thought about it. Nope, you've done NOTHING to offend me.

BTW, when you quote me, please use the entire quote. Otherwise, somebody might get confused having read something out of context.

And, BTW II, how come when I joke wit ya, you think you've offended me, but when others do, it's all FUN? :O)

Because they don't seem quite so serious about it.

Chuck,

While I completely understand your logic (and I agree 100%), PLEASE don't apply the same logic to your flights.....

When the flight attendant announces for all to get on the plane, just let them know that THEY can get on the plane but YOU are getting IN the plane! ;-)

Steve, you never saw the Twilight Zone? With William Shatner, and the guy on the wing throwing parts of the plane into the engine? That was ME ( insert laugh here) :D

On the otherhand, "Maui" has become the vernacular for a destination. So, although Chuck is technically or gramatically correct, most people might be describing the "destination" in their use of "Maui". As in...
"I live in Los Angeles". Not "I live ON Los Angeles".

WHATever!!! :O)
