Well, sorry to disagree with you here Eric, but as I said in my
*opinion*, I can affirm, I believe that time does not exist. (Please let
me distinguish between 'actual' time and 'conceptual' time. It is actual
time I disregard as a myth, and the latter that I have to admit exists.)

Even though I disagree with you; I honestly applaud you for your
efforts and the big change you have made. I believe you, but not that time
exists. I can also say thanks for the suggestion, but I know that
wouldn't work for me. Yes, you can judge well when to go to class (when I
do decide to make it to my classes for the day *teehee*), but that won't
help me at all for making it to work, or waking up in the morning, to
critical things. I also love my pocketwatch. (but it recently broke gosh
darnit, so....?)
