In fact, I've forgotten why I ever wanted another person in my life in the first place. It's no longer of any consequence, and I'm quite a happy camper these days.<br /><br />Which reminds me of a bloke who was asked if he had to choose between Alzheimer's and Parkinson's which would it be? He answered, "I'd rather spill my drink than forget where I keep the bottle."Gary Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17947146717481835071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4517388058225414110.post-49975361923580639952012-11-18T18:07:02.445-05:002012-11-18T18:07:02.445-05:00Yes, Coops, I have worried. . .and I have experien...Yes, Coops, I have worried. . .and I have experienced rejection. yep. Does that bother me? Yes. Do I allow the possibility - in my own mind - to make me stay home, stay in, not go places I want to be at. . .no.<br />I do not want to become a "shut in in the corners of my mind". . .However, I am a bit more cautious around certain people or situations. I do not go looking to be hurt/rejected. .I am no fool. . I can say I allow my successes to influence decisions; not my failures. . .or some one else's mis-judgments and failures.JustinO'Sheahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07379283329949646000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4517388058225414110.post-68726471478341915472012-11-18T16:52:00.476-05:002012-11-18T16:52:00.476-05:00" I disagree with Dr. Brian.
