I just received this from a friend and thought it was worth sharing. I'm feeling kind of philosophical so forgive me for straying off swimming topics!
15 Things You Probably Never Knew or Thought About
1. At least 5 people in this world love you so much they would die for you.
2. At least 15 people in this world love you in some way.
3. The only reason anyone would ever hate you is because they want to be just like you.
4. A smile from you can bring happiness to anyone, even if they don't like you.
5. Every night, SOMEONE thinks about you before they go to sleep.
6. You mean the world to someone.
7. If not for you, someone may not be living.
8. You are special and unique.
9. Someone that you don't even know exists loves you.
10. When you make the biggest mistake ever, something good comes from it.
11. When you think the world has turned its back on you, take a look: you most likely turned your back on the
world.
12. When you think you have no chance of getting what you want, you probably won't get it, but if you believe in yourself, probably, sooner or later, you will get it.
13. Always remember the compliments you received. Forget about the rude remarks.
14. Always tell someone how you feel about them; you will feel much better when they know.
15. If you have a great friend, take the time to let them know that they are great.
A Minute: They say it takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to appreciate them, a day to love them, but then an entire life to forget them.
Take the time .. to live and love.

Can we officially re-title this the "Swimmer Dating Thread" so that everyone can live vicariously? "Iinspiratonal" does not seem to describe this thread any longer. Not complaining, mind you.
:rofl: LOL!
Thanks for the advice and :2cents: guys. so after much deliberation regarding when exactly she wants me to call, and after my friend almost beat me up to call her RIGHT NOW. i text her if she can talk, she said its loud where she's at, i told her to give me a call tomorrow if she wants to get together this weekend. Now we wait...:o haha
BTW some guy, i think this thread is VERY Inspirational haha.
I am simply being patriotic...
:laugh2: I dunno, It must be an American thing...you call us Brits stuck up prissy types...but you're getting freaked out by the sight of a man's bum in speedos..and on a swim site no less! ;)
My gawd...you're lucky you 've never had to vacation with Europeans, like I did in my teens... :laugh2: :laugh2:
Anyhow Rat's new Avatar is great. My brother got the crazy genes and did the jumping out of planes thing. Me, I'll take my chances with the waves and the sharks :joker:
PS...if you'd find it less intimidating. I could post my profile pic instead....:rofl:
I'm off to nominate again. I like to nominate. I like to post too, even though it seems that Frank doesn't (except for long ones --they should count double or triple. I think I have to fess up to one one long recent one in quite controversial thread.)
I still think this thread should be renamed. Can Beth do that? I can't even get my name changed under "user titles." I guess I'll have to resort to PM. Hate that PM. I'm going to hit ignore. I have to work, you know. I guess I'm like Geochuck. (Where is that guy?! I'd like to converse with him. He is one cool dude for a 70+ guy. It's probably that tequila. I hope it's not sunstroke.) Say what you think and take your licks is a good motto. Cool dude.
what are you on dude? i want some. haha.
I'm really into swimming, it's crazy. Especially since i was afraid of the water up until 5 weeks ago.
alcohol + technology = entertainment posting
I did read somewhere that Geochuck and Geek were drinking tequila.
alcohol this early in the morning? must be friday!
Ok, I'll give you "inspirational" too, Dorianblade. I love that you are so into swimming. I'm sure anyone you're dating would think so too -- unless she's unworthy.
