My inner is the passion for the "what if I found...."
My outer is the peace that comes with hunting outdoors with nothing else on my mind....

Unless you are talking belly buttons, mines an inny.

Dave,Sorry..I should have been more explicit..Not talking about MDing..daily life.

How much of it comes from EMOTION?

I have emotions, but they do not rule my life.

My cousin Earl moved to Oregon more than a dozen years ago, hadn't seen him since, but when I got home yesterday from trying to return a ring to the owner, there was Cousin Earl in my yard walking towards my truck. I got out and immediately he started cussing me. I put a stop to it REAL quick with "I've heard enough, you can leave now". And he calmed right down and then we had a nice visit.

Earl had come down with prostate cancer, and all of his equipment had been removed. What I noted was that he acted like a pissy woman - all those male genes had rolled over and died. He admitted he was very emotional. During the visit, he laughed, then he cried, etc = a roller coaster.

No wonder I'm still single! My world is one of a maintained calm. Don't need no roller coasters on my property!

What motivates me? It use to be Money!!!!! But now a days ...Learning and self pride(?). I don't try to do things the right way because "that's what your supposed to do." I try to do them right for me, my reputation, My name, my own ocd :laughing7: . oh, and don't get me wrong!! Money is great and I wouldn't turn it away, but just not as important to me anymore, not my sole motivation. Experiencing and learning is my motivation too.

On the net? Just talking to a wide variety of people, people from all backgrounds and experiences, is fun for me. Everyone has something to teach us. That and I learn and I'm subjected to subjects that I wouldn't normally be subjected to. There is also the learning of the problems that arise when people from all backgrounds come together in one place. That kind of stuff is interesting to me.

That deep growling that one gets in their lower intestinal tract that grabs their attention and makes them wonder,, where's the closest bathroom?
