I know that you were kidding me Ansley. You have to forgive me as I have been in a crabby mood the last couple of days. And yep I do believe that it has been the last 3 years that you have broached this subject.

YES

Me thinks you are a tad modest in your 'a wee idealistic' thingy.

Fair point. I'll rephrase my reply. I think I can have it all. To hell with other people, especially if they get in my way.

Joking aside, there is a limit to how much time and energy I have, but altogether I've been pretty happy so far in my pursuit of big, simultaneous goals. If that changes, I'll reconsider. Until then, the world is...

LOL , Fair enough!

I don't think one can "have it all."

Even if you could "have it all" who would really want it?

It seems to me that the more you have, the more responsibility you incur... I'm just saying...

Only because I was up in Round Rock paying tuition!

You problably deserve a tongue allright.

I'm reminded of the Heisenberg principle in physics.

Yes, you may have it all, but by the time you realize it you've lost it.

Up in Round Rock paying tuition. Don't feel too bad about not being around to swing at the tee up but your little shadow semi took up the slack for you.

Not sure I would want everything. I lived through a part of my life where I had a great deal and lost the most important part of what I had. It puts a new perspective on things.

If you had everything there would be little to strive for making life dull.

Fighting to protect 'tain't no different than fighting to get. Only difference is knowing whether it was worth fighting for once you've had it for awhile. Lest that is the way I see it.

Which is what I thought of as well in my original post in this thread and that is why I qualified my first post like I did but more than a few did not get what I wrote. I am one of those that does believe you can have it all (what the all is in fact is relative) because not too long ago I nearly died in the real world due to issues (as if we all don't have issues) and the fact that I am here now writing and doing what I am which is getting what I have wanted for almost 30 years now. Like Carrie implied - lead, follow or get the fuck out of my way because I am coming through whether you like it or not.

It appears to me that some have more than 24 hours in your day...


I personally think you have to make choices in life. If not, then I guess you have it all. I want it all...I just don't have the time or talent or brains or looks, other than that I got it all!

I think some are mistaking being happy with what you have ....as having it all. To me that leaves no room for improvement.

[guest041110]

24 hours? Here I thought we were on a 37 hour day! WTF?!

I will second what you wrote WTF... there is always room for improvement. Keep in mind, I may want it all but I have not defined what it is I want, now have I?

Like Iaintliein posted, it is relative as to what each of us wants versus what we get... right?

Consult my signature line.... unfortunately, 99.9% of us operate under that premise.

I don't think you can ever "have it all". You can be satisfied with what you have, or if not you can strive for more.
