Only you can know, but my guess would be, a combination of predisposition, unfitting lifestyle, and improper food intake.
sorry - but you asked --- may be just rhetorical, but nevertheless :-) :saturn:

Add to that being reared in a wilderness area; cow wranglin’ where the food was coffee, biscuits, chili, and beans with sowbelly; serving in Indochina and emerging a little worse for the wear; pursuing various careers in an overly greedy culture; and being married going on fifty years to a wonderful woman, that after bringing back a “working” girl from Europe which was a disaster — to mention but a few missing points. Oh, and one hasn't eaten till they've had pan fried trout and biscuits over a camp fire in a wilderness area ;)


It’s been a hell of a ride, and I wouldn’t change it for the world. It’s also apparently given me a much broader perspective than those more the product of cultural inculcation ;)


Live with no excuses, and love with no regrets :-)

Then wonder no more :-)
- but remember what you said: " It’s been a hell of a ride, and I wouldn’t change it for the world"

Sup Everyone! Second day here and still pretty nervous. Any tips on communicating successfully?

Humility. Preface things. When in doubt, delete. I often take three tries before I post. And I still mess it up. You never know who you're talking to. People take things funny-oddly-not what you meant at all. They may not say anything. You may take things funny-oddly-not what they meant at all. And give a lot of thank you's/acknowledges (-ments?). Myself, having been raised by in a family of werewolves I often struggle with the last one. That, and I often make stuff up.

Thanks, man. That will come in handy. I try my best to be polite and respectful but somehow end up offending 2/10 of all humans.

Be honest and know when to walk away is advice I got when first posting on WF and it has never steered me wrong.

I've always been as honest as I can be. I had a lot of problems with abuse growing up so it's been a struggle. I've been told to defend myself and stick up for myself. It's hard to know If I should defend myself or walk away. Most of the time I just walk away but I can't run away from all my problems. Seem to be picking and choosing the wrong ones all the time it feels like.

Defending yourself is necessary at times and is not a bad thing, you are correct in saying it's hard to gauge when to walk away and the best advice Ican give on that front is if it feels like an arguement developing I take a step awayand don't reply for a little bit. I feel the same way at times it is natural to second guess ourselves.

Sounds like you have a rough upbringing and I am glad to see you made it through. :-)

Me too and if you can get through a tough start in life I think you handle it better when shit hits the fan. You have to fight to survive sometimes. :-)How are you finding WF so far?
