walt lister Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Out of the dark we came, into the dark we go. Like a storm-driven bird at night we fly out of the Nowhere; for a moment our wings are seen in the light of the fire, and, lo! we are gone again into the Nowhere H Ryder Haggard from King Solomon's Mines Link to post Share on other sites

Brad Eden Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 I worked on the summer painting, floor finishing and repair crew at an elementary school while in college. When I would complain about the job my boss would say "The door swings both ways, you can come in and you can go out". In other words if you don't like it find another job. I've used a version of that on occasion here when someone complains about the Board; "The sign-in swings both ways, you can sign-in and you can sign-out." Link to post Share on other sites
