...had your 15 minutes of fame yet?
I haven't and I don't ever expect it will happen. It reminds me of a time when I made a comment to my children about someday, when I'm rich and famous... and one of them responded, "Mom, you may be rich some day, but I don't think you'll ever be famous." Yes, I laughed.
I haven't and I doubt I will. I tend to shy away from the spotlight.
shareI'm like that, too. I don't like being the center of attention on any level.
shareSame here, makes me so nervous!
shareYep, always worried that I'll make a fool of myself. Sometimes I wonder why I care about this so much. Who cares what others think? Although, I have to admit though, that the older I get, the less I care what other people think. In the grand scheme of things, it's nothing.
shareYeah, once you get to that point of not caring about what anyone else thinks its magical. :)
shareThe only thing that matters is how you think of yourself. Keep the focus on yourself, and it all falls into place. As an adjunct: no one is going to think more highly of you than you do of yourself. My observation is that too many who have actively sought fame have done so in pursuit of the affirmation they could not give themselves. The tragedy is that, when they got that affirmation, they crumbled, because they were hollow inside, could not support the affirmation from outside, and imploded. Marilyn Monroe is a prime example.
shareThat's been my problem for several years, never believing in myself and thinking so low of myself but the past 4 years have been so good for me. I've been supported, appreciated, loved & cherished and I've seen myself in a new light. Its wonderful.
shareYouβre very fortunate. Iβve been with women in whom I saw more than they did, and my praise and support made some of them uncomfortable, because it contradicted their self-image. You, however, were able to let your manβs love in!
shareNo and I wouldn't want it.
There is too much horrible baggage with fame.
No
shareI think I got my 15 minutes of fame when dewey started that thread about me dumping him. Now I've got a reputation to keep up!
shareSweetie, you'll always outdo your reputation.
The real thing is so much better!
Not that I would know.
Of course you know! How many times have you been in my basement already?!
shareI've lost count!
It seems like so long ago it's almost like it never happened.
Just like a dream.
If only you hadn't broken my heart. π
"Don't go breaking my heart
I couldn't if I tried
Honey if I get restless
Baby, you're not that kind"
Sometimes it's hard to deal with "what could have been"
I'm better now.
Am I still a gold card basement member?

shareI'm hoping there aren't many of us out there.
Only she will be able to answer this.
I feel honored with this momentous privilege.
As well you should be.
GlennEllyn and I are still due for a date with Stratego, but I know we're never going to reach platinum level! That honour belongs to you and you alone.
It's not always about the end result.
It's the journey that's intriguing.
Whether you make platinum or not is a moot point.
Oh what a terrific time you'll have trying! π
Never 15 minutes.
About 20 seconds a few times after being interviewed a few times.
If you add it up it comes out to 1 minute of not real fame.
It works for me though.
Nope. I was on the news once when two other people and I were trying for hours to save a dolphin (we failed π’), but that's about it.
To me being recognisably famous would be a nightmare. I think it'd be awful for people to recognise you everywhere you go. Not so bad if you're a famous author and no one knows what you look like.
The dolphin died? That makes me so sad.π’ I need some fluffy bunny love right now! π°π°π°
shareI know! π’π’π’ We tried really hard though.
Yeah, I can do with some fluffy bunny love around now too, so here's to us both!

shareI was sitting on my porch at sunset, drinking a beer and watching a rabbit just in front of me in my yard, munching on dandelions. From my observations, they really seem to like those but I can understand it because they're supposed to be very nutritious.
shareDang, db, when I sit in my yard I just see the neighbour's cat doing his business. I'm jealous!
shareI used to have neighbors' and stray cats pooping in my yard, right in front of my porch at that but no more, even though I've got cat ladies on either side of me. Poetic justice in my golden years.
shareNooooo! Please, please tell me that was a typo and you didn't have neighbours who pooped in your yard! I can deal with cats doing there business in front of your porch, but not people! π±
