<p>I am new to these boards (yes this is my 1st post) and it does seem that there are a lot of self congratulatory postings</p>
<p>^^ Interesting first post, vonfriend… 
</p>
<p>BTW, WELCOME TO CC!!! Feel free to begin congratulating yourself! :D</p>
<p>Very Good Vongirl!</p>
<p>Do you mean interesting is a good way? If so CONGRATULATIONS TO ME!!!</p>
<p>Well, as Vaknin said in his article: “A few retreat and confine themselves to the company of adoring sycophants and unquestioning groupies”</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>It does make one wonder how often posts are a true reflection of one’s personality, and on top of that, just how many personalities one person might use.</p>
<p>Coronax2: well, it’s cheaper than Second World and takes a lot less time to create one, or many, personalities.</p>
<p>^^that’s probably true, dadofsam, but wouldn’t it be more fun (and interesting) if we did have cc second world?</p>
<p>Okay Berurah, I want to know what all this Evil Eye business is all about.</p>
<p>
<em>ROFL</em> bhg!!!
Dunno, actually. I only started this thread in response to one on the same subject that Roger started in the Parents Forum??? But, now, I’m keepin’ a close watch… :eek:</p>
<p>lol</p>
<p>Berurah, you are a funny lady! I’m SOO…glad you don’t live on the East Coast or you would be snatched away from us!!!</p>
<p>What I mean by that is , you have talents, and you would not bother with us on c.c. if you lived where I do. You would be too busy.</p>
<p>^^Awwwwwwww, bhg, you’re just too sweet! 
</p>
<p>
<em>ROFL</em> Even my life coach thinks I’m wasting my “talents.” :eek: In fact, she thinks I would make a great life coach! 
I would never, though, consider CC a waste of my time or talents–I get back much more than what I contribute by way of the amazing people here who have enriched my life in immeasurable ways! :)</p>
<p>Every time I see the owl I think it’s Evil Eye now! Horns on me!</p>
<p>You do have talent. But, you know, we all make choices. You have made your choices.</p>
<p>
<em>LOL</em>!!! Just let it touch a piece of your clothing or jewelry, and you’ll be just fine! ;)</p>
<p>
The great thing about choices is that they can be changed or amended! Right now, I thinkin’ about what I want to be when I grow up…or, er…when my kids grow up, whichever comes first! ;)</p>
<p>~berurah
p.s. My choice of the moment is to be a syndicated columnist. Now, I just have to convince some EDITOR that it’s a good choice! :eek:</p>
<p>Hmmm. </p>
<p>What would CC be like without narcissism? </p>
<p>Would there be such a place as My Space without it? </p>
<p>Very eye opening discussion. I don’t this talk of Evil Eyes and owls, though, can someone explain that to me?</p>
