    a thought to ponder, indeed!!:D:D

    my take, OPTIMIST coz you definitely will be immensely SATISFIED once you perform the act..:)) and this mere thought will be giving you positive satisfaction..hehehe

    Sometimes we fall short of words to express our heartiest feelings and sometimes the words hold the power and beauty to express our inner feelings. Quotation is one such form in which thoughts and feelings are beautifully knitted with the essence of love, romance, friendship and some also have a tinge of sadness.This blog assimilates not only quotations but also inspirational sayings which are useful in our day to day life.

    sleep with your full bladder.. if you can wake up the next morning without peeing in your bed, you are a talented optimist...

    if you wet your bed, then comrade join the bed wetting community

    @Bharat: If i had an empty bladder, i wont be lazy,

    @Anand: I wouldnt dare do then..emm then again, i just might change my mind..

    @nlShAnth: Thats one thing i believe in..

    @sm: I wouldnt wanna rush myself, i d like to empty it completely after all i have made my decision.
    @Self Proclaimed Shoe Addict: Right, no more philosophy, lets just keep that to not so important thoughts :)

  28. vinnyMarch 25, 2009 at 12:55 AM

    well, at first i had a hearty laugh n then realisd that optimism or pessimism would entirely depend whether the contents would be reusable or not!
    n abt hidden data,i dunno.. u tell me:)

    how abt emptying the bladder by 50%? that would be a slight deviation from your chosen preference but hey..u needn't bother again...next decision making time anothr 50%, coz meantime, it would be refilled!!

    gosh, i never felt i was capable of this much eeeeeesh-provoking gyaan :) enjoy, girl!

  49. ShantanuDasMarch 30, 2009 at 9:36 PM

    ha!! What a thought! Hmmm... well I would like to ask bfr i can reply
    1. Did you want to fill up that bladder of yours? If yes then you were an optimist at that time but pessimist later- Hmm I wonder what turned you into one later!! If not then you are definitely a pessimist because it got filled and so you want to empty it.

    2. When the bladder was getting filled did you feel pleasure? If so then you are a narcissist.

    3. When the bladder was full how long did it take you to decide that you wanted it empty? If it was long then you are a masochistic because you love pain. If the desire to empty was immediate then you are fickle minded because you do not know what you want- full or empty.

    4. On the whole I think you are sadistic because you put this question here to trouble us all....... we are racking our brains trying to answer you and laughing in pain!!

I guess it is more applicable to USA .. & not India.. where releasing the bladder is not a problem at all!!!! haha
