how far do you go?

Dentists....that is pushing out the envelope. But the takingadvice/ not caring thing is an interesting one. There is something sad about doing stuff because others do, or to keep up with the Jones's, yet not to care is to have a low opinion of people, and to assume that you cannot pick up insights from the most improbable places. Tricky one.

I find I pick up more insights from my reading than I do from my socializing. I guess it's difficult to have conversations with intelligent people if you don't go out much. Except - oh of course, the internet - which brings me to you, Abu, so of course, I do respond to insights internetically.

Of course, as in the outside world, online we pick and choose our sparring partners with care.
