Oh Alty said it earlier in a thread. It is for all of us. None of us would ever fail at taking over a thread... Hee Hee

Okay now the series side comes out.

I would not fail at being a husband or father. Many people including the experiences I have had. The person that was supposed to be my Father failed miserably. What happened? Who really knows but I know that because of these experiences I had makes me a better person. Makes me a better Father to my children and a better husband to my wife.

Thank you... So this is what I would never fail at is being a Good Father and Good Husband.

Joe, this hits home for me especially. I am proud of you my friend. :)

[Clough]

So, are you now proud of how this thread had evolved, Stringer?

Not too sure Clough... but I did receive some pretty great responses...

[JoeCanada76]

I am happy that it does hit home to you Stringer. I just feel that these things are the most important in life. I am happy to contribute hopefully in a positive way here and for others.

The thread might have been evolving but like stringer has said there has been many good replies.

Sarah, had a very good story to tell and share and her post motivated me to share more myself.

Thank you Sarah, and see you on the boards.

Thank you Stringer for starting this thread.

It's gone off the track now, Stringer...

Failure doesn't have to happen here, it seems to be on course now. But I have to agree in some respect that general discussion isn't always a bad thing. Every conversation has some value even when somewhat off topic. We should always be learning something about ourselves and others and conversation leads to better understanding and friendship.

Take a look at this slide, Mr Anderson's 'movies' and books are from his heart and is, for the most part, what I am saying... asking about. A determination to be your best, whatever that may be to you personally.

Success isn't always how much you have achieved financially and shouldn't be. To me it has always been being at peace, being happy with myself and lending a hand where I can. Remember you can not be happy with yourself and not have it be shared...

What would you do if you knew that you would not fail?

Hello String:

I'd take a shot at Zoe Anne Olson.

Seriously, though. In terms of business, I never went into one thinking anything other than, I would not fail. I was proven wrong on many occasions, but that didn't stop me from believing it again the next time around. The good news, is that on one or two of those occasions, I was right.

Yep, after you take one strike at the plate you don't go sit on the bench again do you? Trying is considered a ambiguous word even after many attempts, but to me it means never giving up. In business I failed twice when I started companies in the past but I learned a lot and had the courage to do it in the first place. I used that experience along with some luck to finally make my third try somewhat more successful.

But as I have said, success isn't all about how many 'toys' you have accumulated to me it really amounts to who you are and what you really do believe in.

For example as a lot of people I have been through many hardships in my life but the core values are things that I can fall back upon and they have helped me. I have never cheated in a relationship even though many would not have blamed me if I had. But this fact makes be happy with myself and to me says that I do stand for something that matters...

Joe, because it means so much to you, you won't fail.

I had great parents, I really got lucky with both of them. My wish would be to aspire to be as great as they were.

I do the best I can but I'm not a perfect parent. Are any of us really?

I wish I could be that confident.

Stringer told me a long time ago to climb out on the branch and try to realize my dream of making and selling my tables and wooden projects. I know he's right, that not trying is the same as failing, but I'm still too afraid.

We're on a budget. We don't have extra money to throw around. What if I do fail? What if it costs more then we can afford? What if... what if... what if?

It would be really nice to see into the future and know whether I'd succeed.

[Alty]

It's gone off the track now, Stringer...

Clough, why are you bringing this up again? I thought we dealt with this yesterday. I apologized and I thought you accepted the apology. I usually forgive and forget, not forgive and then keep bringing it up.

Stringer, if you want me to leave the thread then I will, I'll leave it up to you.

Clough, I don't know how many times I have to apologize before you'll just let it be and move on. Please let me know.

[JudyKayTee]

And here I am again, explaining myself - I have no problem with chatting, discussing breast sizes, double entendre, "adult" conversations. I actually refer people to AMHD and so I'm pretty careful what I post. I don't want a stepchild to read it next year and wonder what they heck I'm about.

I DO have a problem when that content is on one of the threads. Community boards? No problem for me. Threads? Problem for me.

I am amused that the person I believe is, was and has been WAY out of line is the only person who hasn't given the whole subject a second thought.

So - enough already with the accusations and apologies.

We've already moved on...

I'm not sure why you keep bringing the subject up!

Why not just let it go...

Now, I've let it go...

Definitely noted here, Judy! I'm not into "chat" at all. When content is posted on a thread where the content needs to make sense and have some meaning/importance to the origianal poster, those are the times when I'll take exception to the posts that are frivolous.

[Alty]

Okay, I'll unsubscribe.

Clough, I just want to say, no, you didn't let it go. As soon as Stringer posted you brought up the fact that his thread had gone of track. You posted about it twice. That's not letting it go, that's rehashing it. Whatever, doesn't matter, I shouldn't have let it get to me and I should have kept my feelings about it to myself. My bad.

I'm done. Have fun. Enjoy AMHD, it really is a great place. I'm taking some time off, don't know when I'll be back. Take care all.

We all have our "agendas" don't we?

It's hard if not impossible to read the mind of someone else!

And then where would the thrill of victory be? :)
