Decided to follow David's fine example and throw this one out into the general room.

In my mind ....I'm more than half full!....but the body is going on empty....

Not much I can do about aging ....except accept it....and enjoy the ride!

Half the posters on here havn"even got a glass any more ,let alone is it half full.

Cenosillicaphobia:

the fear of an empty glass - manifests itself in a number of circumstances and the symptoms can be uncomfortable at best, downright terrifying at worst.

Optimist - The Glass Is Half Full

Pessimist - The Glass Is Half Empty

Me - Who's Been Drinking My Beer?

Optimist - The Glass Is Half Full

Pessimist - The Glass Is Half Empty

Me - Who's Been Drinking My Beer?

Optimist - A man who believes things will not get any worse

Pessimist - A man who knows things could not get worse

Me -My glass is cracked

Definitely half full.

Plus ya can keep your greener grass on the other side. It isn'isn't.

Definitely half full.

Plus If the greener grass is on the other side of the fence, it's the job of somebody else to cut it

I realize my glass is not empty yet.

You appear to have too much glass for the amount of liquid involved.

My glass is 1/2 full.

Was before I came to Thailand.

Despite being here (on and off) over the past 6 years (ish) ... still is 1/2 fullish.

Thailand is a lark, full of fun and opportunity ... realise this ... embrace this!

Beautiful woman, cheep beer, a different Culture ... that is a double edged sword.

I was happy when I came here ... I'm even happier now ...

Honey ... no, I don't play Thai Visa ... yes, I'm washing the nappies now!

Pessimistic Optimist just about covers it for me.........................

Always hope for everything to work out for the best, but don't underestimate the power of Sod's law.

Optmist, but try some of these:

The project manager says the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

The realist says the glass contains half the required amount of liquid for it to overflow.

And the cynic... wonders who drank the other half.

The worrier frets that the remaining half will evaporate by next morning.

The entrepreneur sees the glass as undervalued by half its potential.

The engineer says the glass is over-designed for the quantity of water.

The computer programmer says the glass is full-empty.

OK, lazy day!

I take the engineers approach: "There's too much f**kin glass!".

My glass is broken.

hopefully only a little less than half full.

I am a realist.

Cant find the glass....so I drink straight from the bottle these days....

The answer to this conundrum is time related. If the glass in its previous state was empty then it is half full and half empty if its previous state was full.

Optimist - The Glass Is Half Full

Pessimist - The Glass Is Half Empty

Me - Who's Been Drinking My Beer?

Optimist - The Glass Is Half Full

Pessimist - The Glass Is Half Empty

Pragmatist - The Glass is too Big

The waitresses never let my glass become half empty.

And I try to keep it below half full.

Who's nicked my glass!!

Depends. Before 9pm half empty. After 11pm completely full

The glass is always full.

We just have to work out the water to air ratio.

Definitely a glass-half-full believer, myself.

Although my waistline seems determined to cram-in more than the full glass-full !

It's like Cadbury's milk-chocolate, "a glass and a half in every bar", but they don't say what's the capacity of the glass !

Everybody's missing the obvious:

The glass is both half full AND half empty.

What size?

Are there any wee nips amongst us?

Big jugs?

Mumbling tumblers?

Its all a state of mind. You make life what it is. I use a glass for drinking and nothing else....

Never understood just why being a pessimist (glass half empty) was considered worse than being an optimist (glass half full).

Most of the optimists I know are always feeling let down and depressed, whilst the pessimists seem definitely happier.

Think about it. The optimist is either justified in his thinking, or, let down when things don't work out the way they thought.

The pessimist is either justified in his thinking, or, pleasantly surprised.

I'm proud to be a pessimist.

Not only that, but, it appears that pessimists live longer, too.

PS.

It's the deluded optimists that are constantly wrong-footed by real life that eventually become the cynics in this world.

F*** a glass. A bottle can hold way more.
