Well I did a 6k bike ride, then a 3 mile walk and then did another slow mile to get home again..... and im ready to die!!!!
I've also got something to do.... and i cant decide whether or not to do it,,, i mean if i do, at least i know where i am, but then it might not work out the way i want it to, which would suck... but then not doing means.... ive not done it....
dilemma people, do it or dont do it?Wealth is not measured by currency0 -
good grief well done!
If you don't do the thing you can't decided on doing, will you think in the future "why didn't i just do it". If you will then I say do it. Whatever "it" may be.....does that make any sense?!0 -

Oh b*gger it, may as well just do it, and get the answer....Wealth is not measured by currency0 -
