Yeah well all hat maybe but our mothers at least taught us manners. Thanks for the greets skidmark. Your name is fitting.
One of the few things that frosts me no end is folks who presume to know the origin and/or meaning of my name here. IIRC I have shared the origin of the name a time or two, but that was back in the early days of APS. Pretty much since then folks have generally been careful not to say too much about my name until/unless they know me and have at least an idea of how/why I got it.
I am an Oulde Phart, a certified, registered pure-breed curmudgeon, and generally cranky till at least noontime. I've been more places than I can remember, and if I did anything noteworthy there I know to keep my mouth shut as there is often no statute of limitation on felonies. I struggle to remail socially appropriate. I am so proud of myself since completing that humility course. I firmly believe that once you learn to fake sincerety the rest is all downhill.
All that being said, you might notice that in spite of everything there is a sense of "family" here. For all the warts one of us might show, you can't pick on even the ugliest of us without the rest of the "family" rallying.
