JoeUser Is Like Life

it just keeps rolling along

from JoeUser Forums
JoeUser is a lot like life. You go away for a few days and return to find that articles have still been posted, controversies have erupted, new people have joined, and older members have dropped out. And if anybody noticed you were gone it was probably in passing -- maybe someone even asked -- then people went about their daily JoeUser lives.

In the stream of life, you're just a pebble whose presence may alter or bump the water's flow ever so slightly, but the water keeps flowing whether you're there or not.

It reminds me of the old saw:
Whenever you feel so important
A world without you, you can't conceive,
Stick your hand in a bucket of water
Then try to find the hole you leave.


Yep, JoeUser's a lot like life -- it just keeps rolling along.

I wasn't agitating for attention, just making an observation.

Although, in the past I have been gone for two months when no-one noticed....

(( Freezes bucket of water, takes ice pick and bores hole in ice, leaves post-it " Dyno was here...damnit! )

Of course later on the ice melts, and the hole is gone...but not forgotten.......

MM vows to make sure the nice gene not to be confused with the insano gene does not fall between the cracks.

You're right.

It is like watching a soap opera. You go away for a couple of months, and when you return the charcters have changed, however, the drama continues on the same line of thought.
