i thought this might be a fun thread to get to know some of the members on here, (since im still kinda new here) and maybe see whats special about them. (lets try to keep it civil lol)

i like condiments, i would go to fast food places and pick up stuff like extra ketchup or sweet sour just in case if i need it else where. (especially with places that serve crappy food)

i collect eating utensils and cutlery. i dont know why but i have a thing for them and depending on mood and feel to determine what set to use. for instants if i feel like this dish is giving me a south east asian street food feel, then i use my south east asian street food eating utensils or just regular street utensils

i was a nokia fan boy back in the early days of cellphones. i collect working nokia phones. (if prices are cheap)

im great at giving advice to others sometimes but cant do the same to myself. like i know how to manage/help other ppls life, but cant do the same for myself

i also have thing for ppl eating large portions of food, as well as eating them fast. i was a huge fan takeru kobayashi growing up and was inspired to train to eat large portions of food.

i cant spell well, nor can i read well sometimes. also cant write well as its been forever since i have writen anything at all lol. (i grew up in canada since i was a kid, this is kinda of full of shit/embarrassing)

i also cant read/write chinese. i never really learn when i was a kid, but its getting better as i can do conversational chinese. (i can speak very very fluntly though)

Interesting facts?

I am a genuine mutant as Kallmann Syndrome is caused from genes mutating. I grew from five foot three inches to six foot tall over the period of one week. I lost about two or three inches in being off testosterone as hormone replacement/giving therapy for a few years due to restrictive costs. I need that all my life, it's not me being some brash jock "doping" on the steroid. My body if left to do its own generation of it will not generate it. My numbers don't even register on blood tests they are so minute. I stay around 700-800 which I'm told is roughly one half of "normal" baseline for what men produce "naturally". Guys make testosterone some 1,500 to 3,000 units of measure per ml of blood, I might be lucky to do 2 units per every 1 L of blood, if I'm left "natural".

The above noted, known, no it does not make me female or particularly effeminate. I wouldn't mind either case I don't think but I am a man. Granted I'm, hardwired mentally, emotionally, physiologically that I can enjoy the "company" of either a woman or man. To me it doesn't matter. Love is love and sex is sex. I like have love with sex and do not quite understand some keeping them apart.

For me sex is an expression of love, love an expression of sex in form of passion and emotionality. That doesn't exclude me from being very intimate with those I consider "friends" and only "friends". I can be intimate like that without "coming on" to someone. If anyone here ever feels I'm causing uncomfortable feelings, please tell me directly and preferably privately, although publicly suits as well. I will immediately strive to correct, or otherwise set everyone to ease again. I'm no monster by any means, although I know sometimes I may seem a bit lush.

Other interesting facts? Well, I grew up way too early in life. Now, I am living some regained childhood as I gradually reach fifty. Clear enough I enjoy writing. Also clear I keep having an on again off again relationship with doing it. I have little which I consider "joyful" in life yet do make my own joy in the living of a grateful life. So, yes another interesting fact is I'm about nuts, insane. Look around our world though, tell me where do you see the sane?

When you face monsters, yes, you can slip up and become a monster. Know I said I'm not. I am not, due to remaining vigilant and keeping myself in check. Oh but it would be so easy to let go. I dislike those who are so weak as to "let go" then scramble making excuses, justifications for doing it. There's no excuse. But yet I can forgive. Come back when your version of Hell freezes over to ask me to forget, though. Here's a clue, I probably won't.

Another fact, I love animals inclusive of the human animal even if my wife's argument for misanthropy says I ought naught. I've been at times groomed and approached to take on a flock of sheep for a large global sheep flocking family. They keep seemingly extending an invitation which whispers to me, "come, watch our flock for us, it'll be your flock after three years of it earning the 'family' 10 percent yearly. If you have need of anything, ask, it is done."

I though am a bit weary, not quite sure I have the faith in me that they seem to have. Still it's a nice feeling to think someone of such status would think that well of you. Then, there is also the rub that they would want me to be 'on call'. "Go settle in the new Shepard , in Germany for us. We'll send one of the other 'boys' up to bring you tickets to Sweeden, got some blue mouth sickness there, then off to Australia, ..." ... "Oh, ... sorry. You are wanting to be 'home'?"

Sure, I'm the Dog and any body's Huckleberry, still a point a fella doesn't want or can keep on the run. Not sure my brain would handle talking German to a Cambodian speaking French back at me and arguing they had not forgot the medicine in the water, not when I knew otherwise.*chuckles* Worse yet, I break out in Cantonese to them explaining how to sheer close but not cut sheep, and they mocking back in Persian. Nope, I think I would shut off somewhere. "Are you tired? Need restful sleep? Want more fulfilled? Feel stupid watching infomercials?" Why yes, I believe so.

Another fact, up until a few years ago I could handle stress. Now, nope not happening.

Not really interesting here either. Sure, lots of wind I spewed and it's honest but I'm just Joe S. Average. The s for spartan. Aggravates the wife, "you need more flashy clothes" then she puts me in flashy clothes and regrets it. "Oh, you're a dark one, sorry guess flashy doesn't help."

I'm sure we all have things about us that are interesting to other people.

My heart stopped for 4 minutes once, so I guess I died briefly, thankfully they didn't give up after 3 and brought me back :)

*LOL* "You had feet? Bah, we never had feet. We used to walk on our ankle stubs, twenty miles to go to school." Point taken, hon. Good you see the humor in it. I still get a chuckle too.

"Nope, I won't die again, it's already had me once and spat me back up," I say once in a while. Of course, I don't reckon we have any choice guaranteed except that we all will die. We live so that's assured, dieing.

The thought of it doesn't scare me though. For me it will literally be like walking next door, a shift in where I perceive being and am perceived. Will get to go hang out with those who have went before me. I do at times as it is but to not have this fumblingly meat sack encumbering me will be nice.

That's not saying I'm hoping for death or am in a hurry to die. I'm just aware of how things seem to be and accepting of it. Oddly, started a story yesterday about things. Something Watching is my working title, kind of takes a different twist on the meaning of "someone is watching on the other side of hotel mirror". What if it was a "thing" and what if the horror aspect of it was that a "person" could see the things on the other side of the mirror? What if is turning out handy. :)

Also still working on The Creeping Unsettled, story. Letting it unfold just a little more in my mind theater. Not sure exactly which direction it is heading. Got a rough idea but there's a bit still hazy and relying on human nature. Gee, what does the homicide detective think of Thomas stabbing that guy? Does he see it as justified, or not? Well, will need to read if you want to know. I'll need to write it out too.

Then, I'm kind of piddling a bit with some freelance stuff here and there. Also still keeping house, the big "do nothing". I'm just trying to stay busy so as to not think so much about the crap aspects of life. Been working up some macramé and gradually trying to bring that to coil building if I can. Got some stuff to read too, a few Sydney Sheldon books, might find some Hemingway to read and reread. Soon hope I'll be working our homestead but well, not holding my breath either.

Seems dreams get dashed a lot.

Well, here is the first thing that popped into my noggin (with more to come as I have had an "Interesting" life

Years ago, I remember a character in a book that I was reading giving this example of how to know when you have achieved the dubious status of becoming a well rounded and successful adult male worthy of the respect of all by achieving the following task..

1) Loving and "Wooing" a woman and being the master of your home.
I successfully achieved this ideal by marrying a beautiful woman who takes very good care of me and also gave birth to a girl followed by a boy, very proud of both and they have both left the nest and have settled down to well-paid positions in their chosen professions.


2) Saving a Life... This one is a bit more difficult because of the fact that you, must be in the right place at the right time with a person that actually needs saving from certain death.

My time came about 20 years ago while enjoying a scuba diving trip to Andros Island, Bahamas. On day #3 we were exploring a deeper and more interesting spot of the ocean when I noticed a young lady who had managed to lose her diving partner as well as drifting a fairly long distance from the dive boat.

Anyway, it looked to me that she was in distress so I swam over to her to ask if she needed some help. It became obvious that she indeed needed help since she was so out of breath from trying not to do drown that she could not talk.. Anyway, I manually inflated her life vest and placed my arm where it was supposed to go and towed her back to the dive boat.

#3) Justifiably killing a man.

This one is a bit tricky since no one wants to go to jail. So at this point, I am just waiting for some idiot to break into my house.

More to add later.
