I remember going through that stage in my life, but not at 45-yrs-old (which I am presently!). It was more like at 8-12 yrs old and fascinated me to no end when my parents purchased large appliances/furniture that came in those over-sized boxes. We used them as forts/club houses for days/weeks. Thank goodness there was no recycling back then. |

I once had a grandiose plan to fill our basement with flats of cardboard hanging from the beams overhead, in effect creating a changeable maze of boxes. Ah, those were the days.... (I believe I was 12 at the time.)
I think it's too bad this fellow felt he had to abandon his cardboard tube when he got the box, though. I see some real potentials for synergy there. |

Emulate giving a crap? Well, you're clearly fully qualified for my previous job too (IT Project Management).
Now, can you tell me what all my problems are and how to fix them all and please do it for free? (That last sentence...you get that in my ex-line of work - because it has "IT" in its name - from friends, family and neighbours.) Cheers, Marc |

"IT Project Management" -- Good to see that you have left the games of childhood behind.

So that's why we're stuck playing with houses!
Once in a while I build a geodesic dome out of cardboard. My wife hates them, she thinks they're ughly. Maybe I'll buy me a piece of a woodlot somewhere and build me a geodesic dome in the trees. Now that's a kid's dream. |

Yes, but, you know those people that can't read without mouthing the words? That's how I type, but LOUD. You should have been able to hear this before I hit "Submit reply". Cheers, Marc (stocking up on after dinner Barbie shoes) |
