Not many people are strictly one kind of thinker in all situations.
Maybe existential thinkers are also poets & philosophers.:D :D

So maybe we should set up a Pet Talk conference call, or
better yet a video conference PT meeting. :cool: :cool:

[Edwina's Secretary]

I'll take the notes.....:cool: :D :)

Nope, the linguists get to chair the meeting, make all the

SPEAK..... :p

[kevin rothbeind]

this quiz was pretty darn acuurate. I am always thinking about the meaning of life, or my role in the universe, how Karma has and will continue to affect me, both here and beyond this reality. pretty heavy stuff for a professional hairstylist/ semi-pro musician. but brains only get ya so far. sometimes I need to let go and be at one with the energies that make the universe keep on keepin' on.
