    Study the picture carefully.

    How does your average compare?

    Over a year of my life - simply waste. :D

    You shouldn't regret the time lost. You should dream about the day when you get to wear diapers.
    Not half empty--- but half full.

    Theres not much I can do about it. When you gotta go you gotta go.

    Same with sleeping and eating ---its life init?

    Time, time, time, theres not enough in the day for some people.

    Running around trying to find time with your jacket half off and a piece of toast in your mouth will reduce the length of your life anyway.

    I always take something to read, That reminds me I must replace the light bulb.

    taking a dump in the moring is time well spent, bring a coffee a deck of smokes and the moring paper and your set . Nothing worst then getting caught short

    I got to thinking about minutes per day when I was helping a friend, who was a dairy farmer. A minute a day ads up to 6 hrs a year (1 year rounded off to 360 days). You milk cows 2 times a day, so every minute you saved in the operation amounted to 12 hrs a year. Everything added up so fast, that I figure if a person wants to live a little, there is actually no time for work.

    If you round off the average American work schedule to 240 days (5 days a week, 52 weeks a year. 5x52=260 days, minus 2 week vacation and paid holidays) 1 minute per day equals 4 hrs. Lots of people take 10 minutes the first thing in the morning at work to "unload", so they're getting paid for a 40 hr workweek to sit on the crapper. A 10 minute break in the morning and another in the afternoon adds up to a 2 week paid "vacation".

    It's terrible how much work can cut into a persons schedule.

    Sam thankee for the reminder, to think I used to 'go' before I went to work, thus eating into my own time - will have to do something about that in future!

    Well, you know...there are people who prefer to go pooping than making love, because when you finish you have not to keep embraced to the WC saying: "Oh darling, I love you...!"

    I usually take my breakfast with me to utilise the time efficiently

    One should always remember the old adage -

    if you don't eat you don't sh*t
    if you don't sh*t you die

    just a thought to the seasick sailor!
