Thanks to great genes, great parents, and a strong family environment, I turned out well - i.e. a tree-hugging, gay-supporting, feminist, fiscally conservative flaming liberal scientist-turned-business-owner.
You might need to have some DNA comparison done.
:LMAO: That's funny right there! :ThumbsUp: And you're right - I need to make sure I wasn't switched at birth, maybe I really belong to Tim Cooks' or Bill Gates' family.
I sure hope that others think as much of you as you think of yourself. And your strongest trait is most probably humility.
Sheesh Arlen, I was trying to make a light-hearted joke. Have some fun with it. I certainly wasn't trying to say that I'm all that and a bag of chips, because I'm not and have never claimed to be. I do feel blessed with the life I've lived - my parents are still healthy and well, together, and will celebrate their 43rd wedding anniversary this year. I've got a younger brother whom I've always gotten along with, many friends whom I am grateful for, and a husband and kids I thank the gods for every day. I think that at least entitles me to say I've turned out well. Not perfect, just well. I could understand people thinking I'm arrogant if I said I'm perfect, but I challenge you to find where I've EVER said that; because I haven't and won't.
And my strongest trait is patience.
"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther
The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it. ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. ~Winston Churchill
