It’s been a long time, I’m old now, the middle years minus the divorce and me thinking I’ll be nice and want her to be taken care of and i dont need a lawyer days, we’re really decent. ?

lesson 124: you can be the nice guy but if you don’t get a lawyer you’re going to be the broke nice guy that’s starting life over. ?

I just can’t plastic wrap things. If I am ever stopped and asked by law enforcement to prove I’m not drunk by putting plastic wrap on a bowl, I’m just going to demand that they arrest me.

That plastic wrap stuff can be very challenging. I tend to substitute for tin foil which gives you a 50/50 shot of getting it right with the added bonus that you don't trapped in a huge coil of cling film kitchen wrap.

Starting over broke was easy. I was like a coyote willing to chew my arm or leg off to get out of the trap.

I’ve always been a hard worker so getting fucked over by attorneys and my X didn’t mean shit.

It’s like carrying a gun, my life is worth more than minimum wage so I carry a $3,000 Wilson Combat.

I don’t know if this is a blind spot or what, but if I deem you a shitbag or untrustworthy, you are dead to me. Dead to me in all aspects, ways, shapes or form.

Here’s another character feature I have, lots of times people say “only talk on a Forum like you would in real life, in a small gathering”

Well, I’ll call you out if you step on my dick or insult me or a friend and after I tell someone to fuck off or promise them harm if they darken my path, I’ll sleep like a baby.

Be well my friends, and fuck you if you’re an enemy.

I’m a skilled tradesman with skills in many areas. One skill I’m severely lacking in is the “people” skill….. I have no patience for people, especially stupid people, which the vast majority seem to be these days.

I don't consider myself particularly multi-talented. It's seems like high school and undergraduate college were often exercises in finding out what all I couldn't do, or where I had distinct limitations. Nonetheless, I've always had strong instinctual curiosity about many subjects, where I may have little competence at all. My math skills don't go much behind arithmetic, though I got a B in high school geometry because of the verbal dimensions. But I am fascinated with how mathematics is predictive of things in the physical and biological world.

I'm not good at multi-tasking, being somewhat hyper focused. I have way too little expectation for satisfaction from socializing, which is a pretty serious handicap. I've never "understood" parties, and have to resort to rote strategies to navigate those social situations. Walking into a room of people, there is no sense of expectation that someone is really going to like the cut of my jib. I would tend to be suspicious.

My advantage is that such skills as I have are well honed. They have to be.

Does being tactful count as a skill? Because it's one I don't have.

I can fix things, at 12 yrs of age fixed a rice combine that wouldn’t stay the right height, problem rod with threads got hot and adjustment went off; got my father to weld a bracket on rod with a chain to hook rod, no movement, word passed around and local combines all had the hook, I’m blunt can’t stand silly crap, my wife says you’re truth telling is your nemiss, very loyal and respectful, I don’t start trouble, I walk away, but don’t make the mistake to fuck with me. I’m easy, one sob story and I’ll give you my shirt, just like my father. I’m just a dumb Cajun who loves people.

I never remember to turn my electric fence off. As many times as I go in and out of it you would think I'd remember.

I grew up as a mechanics's kid. In the days before computers dad could tell you what was wrong with a car just by listening to it. He would take me to his shop to learn from time to time and not much of it stuck. Any time I have to work with hand tools, I start swearing geysers. Five minutes into a repair and you could water the lawn with my head. Dad would just look at me and shake his head with disappointment in me. I gave him a taste of his own medicine though. Fast forward 30 years after my childhood and dad asks me to help him with his computer. Even the simplest task eluded him. One day I just looked at hi, shook my head in disappointment and said "This is so simple! I can't believe you are my father! " and then laughed. He laughed and then smacked me in the back of the head.
