[QUOTE="2X2L, post: 1878883, member: 749522"] I like the "failing up" thing. Is that like The Peter Principle? Never heard failing up expression, but it perfectly descibes a lot of stuff - politics, many school boards and teachers ... I have just gotten used to the "pay it forward" or whatever idea. When I thought of doing it, the person ahead of me in line had six New York Strips and lobster tails! No way. A guy once paid it forward for me at Subway. I was flummoxed. Someday soon I will repay the gesture, but I don't hang out at Subway stores. Maybe sometime when the person ahead of me orders one cheeseburger* at McDonald's. *Offer not valid on cheeseburger meal.
