I guess I am the type that would say if you can't figure out if the glass is half full or half empty, you clearly have a glass that is twice as big as it needs to be.

Truth be told though, I was a relentless half empty kind of guy when I was in my teens, and somewhere along the way in college I just switched. I have been a relentlessly half full type ever since.

I'm a half-full kind of person. It's hard sometimes.....really hard. But I can't help but think that there is always a worse situation than the one I'm in at any given moment.

Guess that's why I use Dixie Cups, Jules. The jury is still out on which 1/2 of my glass is full and which is empty. H e l p!

I need a Tommy Tippee glass...

I guess it depends what the subject is if the glass is 1/2 empty or full. If it's political, completely empty...if it's regular people, 1/2 full.

But I can look so on the full side that I can seem gullible. For instance, at dinner one evening, one of my smart aleck kids said, "Did you hear? They took the word gullible out of the dictionary."
I wailed, "But why?"
The kids still laugh when they recall that...

I can so see some things as half full that I can be taken advantage of easily...so when charities come a knockin' I have to be careful...

There are, it has been said, two types of people in the world. There are those who, when presented with a glass that is exactly half full, say: this glass is half full. And then there are those who say: this glass is half empty. The world belongs, however, to those who can look at the glass and say: What's up with this glass? Excuse me? Excuse me? This is my glass? I don't think so. My glass was full! And it was a bigger glass!
