What kind of errands....

Do you run on a daily basis? Weekly basis? Monthly basis?

I've often heard people say that they need a lot of time during the week to run errands and that those errands would otherwise take up their evenings and weekends if they had to WOH ft. It made me curious because I just don't seem to have many errands to run at all. Are we just lazy :-)?

Here's a good place to say something that will try to make that point. Go ahead. Give it a go.

She has never once said that winning is the only thing that makes a competition enjoyable. Or that you can't have fun playing a game in which you lose. That's total agreement there again.

I have met people like that. They don't seem happy.

It's a sad day when you have to define "fun" for somebody. And, after defining "fun," they still don't get it.

It is her. She misphrased the question to change the meaning.

You said that if you're playing with a softball, it's a softball game. I didn't misrepresent you.

Dh ran the Boston Marathon. His goal- and the goal of nearly everyone in it- was crossing the finish line. Only a handful of elite international runners were trying to win.

You just agreed with me. You're going to have to have rules in order to have something to call a softball game. One of those things which makes a softball game is you try to score by hitting the ball and doing your best to make it to the base without getting caught. Another is, you try to keep the other team from scoring. If you don't write the score down, it doesn't make it any less of a game. You still have to actually be trying to score and keep the other team from scoring for it to be what is called a softball game. You can disguise the attempt at winning by not keeping TRACK of the score - and winning is what you'd be doing if you actually succeed at your purposeful attempts - but if no one is trying to score and following a bunch of rules about when you do, it's not a softball game.

I have good news. She doesn't have to define fun. It would be nice, however, if she understood the definition of "softball."

Sue. Substitute the word "attempt" for "goal." See if it helps. Having the goal of winning doesn't mean you're only happy if you win. It means that you're happy if you're doing what your team needs you to do to make that happen. Whether it actually works out that way or not.
