The moon is actually more useful than the sun since the moon gives us light at night when it's dark. The sun only gives us light during the day when it's already bright out.

Sometimes lost is where you need to be. Just because you don't know your direction doesn't mean you don't have one.

I figured that out Pandora, after I posted "bottom" but decided to just leave it. Does it say something about me that my mind immediately jumped to "bottom" think laugh

I think Frank Sinatra made "top of the heap" popular. I understand choosing "bottom" though because your first thought is that the bottom is missing. smile

4. Going right up the wall? smile


To waste one second of one's life is a betrayal of one's self.

I like Rog's answer, but if that is not it, perhaps mounting/growing/rising insaniity?

A nice variation would have had "insane" going downwards, for "down right crazy!" catrub

Good thinking, Lex! lol

You got the second word correct: insanity
