Subject: Re: Those mind-bending survey questions again Author: Debbie T [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 16:51:30 01/07/03 Tue In reply to: Randy Duncan 's message, "Re: Those mind-bending survey questions again" on 15:25:19 01/07/03 Tue I agree about being alone on the beach, or anywhere in the Great Outdoors. That's probably my favourite part of the places I chose. Except MC, because although it's very beautiful and an eye-opening experience, visiting there really hammered home that no matter how everyone jokes about becoming a millionaire, it's not the way I myself would want to live. I've always valued much different things, and it actually was really, really nice to have that confirmed (and in a non-traumatic way!). Only recently have I been able to travel anywhere other than infrequent trips to Texas, as I spent years working on a tiny, crowded island (only 21 sq. miles) and living in tiny, cramped accommodations, hoping someday to afford those periodic luxuries. No rich chicks here! Thus I spent many hours on the beach (the only place to "get away" there) enjoying the solitude and marveling at the beautiful scenery and sounds, glad that I can appreciate the "little" things like that. My apologies if I gave the wrong impression! [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

[> [> [> [> Subject: Re: Those mind-bending survey questions again Author: Debbie [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 08:28:52 01/08/03 Wed I lived in Bermuda, and it being a former British colony, you introducing yourself to the babes as "Hi, I'm Randy...." would have gotten some rather interesting results. Ask Robin for an explanation if necessary. I was a medical transcriptionist at the psych hospital transcribing medical and psychiatric reports. Mostly the hospital recruited from the UK, but they also hired doctors from other far-flung former UK colonies, meaning many times I had to, uh, "translate and rewrite" dictated reports to make those doctors sound as if they actually had a reasonable grasp of the English language. Not an easy feat sometimes. But it was an interesting job, kind of an Island version of "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest." [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
