Popular Post duffman Posted March 11, 2017 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 11, 2017 Pleased to meet you! Although, I guess it would be more accurate to say 'Pleased to be reacquainted with you!'...... Don't remember me huh? I'm you! Or at least 3/4's you. You, the ever present self. The only YOU there has ever been and ever will be. I'm must confess, I'm mildly offended I didn't receive a warmer welcoming. I just passed Mr. 60% walking in. I've never had the opportunity of meet Mr. 60% personally, I mean, only one of us can be YOU at a time. But word has it, he's a bore! Stumbling over his words when conversing with others, frequently losing this train of thought mid-sentence, inability to focus on anything longer than the maximum allotted characters in a twitter message.. a truly uninspired being! I see some familiar faces on this forum. There's Mrs. 25%.. Mrs. 50%... Oh Look! There's Mr. 10%, y'ouch! That was a rough one for you, remember that? All Mr. 10% wanted to do was lie on the couch, having one existential crisis after the other. You see? Relatively speaking, I'm a blessing! ..Oh I know *rolls eyes*.. EVERYONE wants to see Mr./Mrs. 100% walk through that door. Everyone on this forum keeps talking about how wonderful Mr./Mrs. 100% is and how much they miss them and how desperately they want Mr./Mrs. 100% back into their life.. Was it really that great though? I mean, wasn't it Mr. 100% that suggested to you to take that pill that allowed those psychos Mr. 150% and even Mr. 200% in? Yeah, those maniacal basket cases can handle.. or at least are convinced they can handle.. just about anything, but what happens when you run a system at 2x the output over an extended period of time? The system eventually falters, and those two disappear for good. Then Mr. 10% takes ahold of you, and to the couch you go! Anyway, I'm not here to place blame on you.. or.. or anyone else for that matter. The important thing is we meet again! I mean, we had some good times in the past. Remember 8 years ago when you were sick but decided to go into work anyway? I handled it just fine! Hell, I can even masquerade as Mr. 100% from afar. It'll take an in-depth conversation, public speaking or.. uhh.. or a big big test in order to even notice I'm not Mr. 100%!...... ....You don't seem satisfied... well, no matter, because I'm all you got right now! How long am I staying? Well that all depends on one person, you. Will you keep going? Or are you going to give in to the impulse of taking that pill again to entice Mr. 200% back into your life? Word on the street has it that Mr. 200% is gone. Sure he's accessible to other people who haven't taken the pill yet, but he's nothing more than a memory to you and all the others here that have been duped into thinking that taking that pill and letting that psycho in was a good idea in the first place. Yeah... Mr. 100% is still around. He's even beginning to contemplate wanting back in. Even though I seem to get no respect around here, I'm a good guy and I will hang around till Mr. 100% decides to come back in. Besides, even when Mr. 100% comes back in, we still get to hang out when you get poor sleep or have fallen ill. Until then, it's just you and me, pal! Anyway, just hit my 1 year mark! As you can tell from above, I'm about 75% where I want to be. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quit-once Posted March 12, 2017 Report Share Posted March 12, 2017 That's a BIG one year, Duffman. Congratulations, the worst part of your recovery is well behind you now. For what it's worth, I am an 80 percenter and always have been. I was B student. I usually get it right about 80 percent of the time. It sure beats perfectionism.

Lovebear Posted March 27, 2017 Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 Love this post. Seriously. Love this forum. Have you seen Limitless? I'm that lady who walks into the cafe, discheveled, scattered, who used to take the limitless pill. I'm better at 75% than I was at "100%" two years ago. Because today 75% is enough. Two years ago, 100% wasn't good enough!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
