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 :-)?

You most certainly did.

Nope, wasn't purposely trying to bowl anything...thus the point that some sort of "goal" is not a requirement for enjoyment.


And how YOU feel about trying to win has absolutely no bearing on how anyone ELSE may feel about trying to win. Which simply, yet again, points to how wrong QM's assumption was.


The "if it's not my experience it's not anyone else's" argument never does hold up well.

You can't attempt something without having a goal. Playing word games won't change anything.

I don't believe I've ever answered, "Melons" in Trivial Pursuit, but I don't care about the outcome.

I don't know if she said that winning is the 'only' thing that makes it enjoyable. But I think that saying 'winning' as the goal is maybe 'winning' for oneself? Like with the bowling, you go out wanting to do well for yourself, right? You don't go out and say, "I'm going to do my worst tonight."


Sure, you can have a bad score and not care. Maybe wondering

I have endless important meetings? Ok. But my cell phone does go with me everywhere. Part of my job responsibilities. I really have little choice. Since my employer feels me its very important that I be reachable they don't give me any choice but to carry a cell phone. Their contact list has several people on it, not just me. The are also into that contact list in order to improve chances of contact thing. Apparently schools don't feel its all that important for anyone to be reachable in the case of sick kids because they don't require anyone to carry a cell phone.

Now, the point is, and was, that wohps are considerably more reachable than sahps by virtue of their job requirements. Job requirements which very often require them to situate them near phones whether they want to be near one or not. And sometimes go even beyond that. Sahps have no such externally imposed requirements and can opt to be near their home phones or not as the mood strikes them. Thats just the way it is, even if it does put the sahp in the less reachable demo. And no, I can't concede the point to you as you haven't argued it yet. All you've done is stamp your foot and miss it

I dunno about meldi's beer and volleyball thing, but one of the most enjoyable ways to play volleyball is to use on of those huge cage balls.
