Merry Christmas. :)

[darkangel82]

So have I, just like last year. Too bad...

[rzeznikj at stout]

Mostly because I've been stocking and having to think about Christmas for the past three months, and now that it's here, I'm just sick of it.

[darkangel82]

Mostly here because I have no one around to celebrate it with.

[rzeznikj at stout]

Ah, I see...

[darkangel82]

Don't feel bad, it's been like this for half my life, but I won't bring that on a Christmas thread.

[ilovew]

Hey, that's not true.



Come on, it's time to party :)

[darkangel82]

Now that looks good. :)

[rzeznikj at stout]

Fair enough. However, and granted that I only know you from here, I can tell by your posts that you are indeed a good person.

So many of us here (myself included) cannot help but feel bad...8^)

[ilovew]

Well, it should. I worked *hours* on it (well, okay, not really). So eat, drink, and be merry.

[darkangel82]

Thanks. Just trying to keep up the holiday spirit here, even if I don't have much myself.

[rzeznikj at stout]

No problemo--we're all in this together...

[rzeznikj at stout]

you all know what time it is...

dead thread ping...

[darkangel82]

Everyone's probably in bed, as I will be in a few minutes.

You sound a lot like me. I was too analytical for my own good at 6 years old, and my father told me the truth about Santa, when I posed a few questions to him.

[rzeznikj at stout]

Kinda figured--but just in case anyone was lurking...8^)

[ilovew]

I'm not. I can't sleep. But I hope you have a great night's sleep :) I have to be up in 4 hours anyway. My youngest brother is still young enough to want to get up at the crack of dawn.

[rzeznikj at stout]

I was, and remain so to this day.

Coupled with the fact that I was reading fifth-grade level in kindergarten made my teachers nuts and alienated me from my peers early on...

[Rca2000]

I was reading third grade level then. When I was in first grade, and the other kids were just 'poking along" trying to sound out their words, I would often be 10 pages ahead of them--somethnig the teachers could NOT tolerate. (And I have known (and still do know)alienation from my peers since I was about 5 years old.)

And it REALLY bothered them when I would try and check out books that were 6th grade level when I was in 2nd and 3rd grades. Not too mention, that some of those books were about energy, electronics and such. I even remember talking about energy storage, in KINDERGARTEN one time,(It was during the "energy crisis" at the time, and something was brought up by the teacher IIRC) about "why can't we store the energy in batteries to use later at night"...I did NOT understand the complexities of energy conversion then--but I was on my way!!
