mean thinking sigh-of-relief
Once again, I don’t quite know where I’m headed Steph. It seems that every few years I’m shoveling up the pieces of my life and starting from scratch all over. No matter what I do or how hard I try I can’t seem to reach the dizzy heights of happiness, success, and security, like so many people do. And I’m not talking about becoming a millionaire and living happily ever after. I just mean reaching a point in my life that I can stop what I’m doing, take a look around me, breathe a sigh of relief, and think “I’m where I want to be now. Cecelia Ahern

mean thinking keys
You mean am I for it or against it? You think this is a key question I'm going to be asked on Vega, and you want to make sure I give the right answer? Okay.

Carl Sagan
mean technology years
What does it mean for a civilisation to be a million years old?

That's not to say, of course, that any of these bones will ever actually be found. Bill Bryson
