I'd hug you Tristan honey, but this dratted sinus infection has taken a turn for the worse and I don't want to add to your misery...I'll share my tea with honey though:)

Magda- morning ( well evening ) big sis. Sent an email. Sleep well HUGS

oooh competativeness...we were just talking about this yesterday in faculty room. I say women are more competative and Travis ( other teacher) says guys are...so what do y'all think?

ooh and goodnight DTH:)

and Kelkhil- can we make sure the green tea is all stocked up at the bar?

I choose to rise instead of fall- U2

I'd like to refine the pondering to that of competitive parents, who push their kids too hard and get abusive when watching the sporting match from the sidelines.

If you find yourself getting too worked up about stuff that isn't real (RP Threads etc), then go outside, breathe in some fresh air and try feeding the ducks. (Because ducks don't care about your politics, religion, skin colour, choice of music or even your haircut. They like everyone, provided you bring them food.)

Y'all are vectors of contagion! Stay away! ( But feel better!)

I'll be off and on today - trying to iron something out with Natuzzi and I don't think they are understanding my problems via IM in my crappy translated Italian.
*That, and it's almost 4:45 PM there - quitting time.

And the pondering? I think it depends on what the competitiveness is about. Men and women are competitive about different things. I wouldn't say I'm too competitive with sports - but at work I would have to say I am.

Mavoureen-I'm not touching you ( said in the manner of small annoying child) I'm not touching you.

Mavourneen--I agree. I think men and women are all competitive but in completely different ways. Of course there are going to be some overlaps, but I think men tend to be more physically competitive and women perhaps more towards other, less physical things. I dunno, though. I know some women who play rugby and they're scary competitive, and I also know plenty of men who are becoming stay at home dads and are filling a more traditionally female role. If I think about it more, I think the lines between male and female competitiveness are blurring. *shrugs*I'm confusing myself.

hmm- yeah I would say women are more competative about physical appearance and more emotional things and men are more competative about contest or score based things... makes sense
