Well, I'm 51, and I'm at that stage of my life where I prefer to "tell it how it is" .......mind you......I've been like this since I was 16 :rotfl:

Well - you've got a head start on me then in that respect...I wouldnt have said boo to a goose at that age:rotfl:. I think, in hindsight, that my parents brought me up "wrapped up in a cotton wool" to a large extent - and for the best of motives in many respects......They knew just how bad the world/other people could be and tried to shield me from it...I can see that now in hindsight and so can they...

It was one HECK of a shock to come out into "the big wide world" in some ways...:eek:

I think it took me until only the last few years to realise that some people just seem to enjoy being gratuitously nasty/stupid/etc (delete as applicable)......:o. It might/will take me quite a lot longer before I can summon up enough goodwill to feel sorry for them for being that way.....:cool:

I'm a great believer in "rising above" most things, the exception being when someone attacks someone close to me and then I have been known to bite. Your way is probably healthier.

My pet hate in life is people who lie or hide behind lies to protect their true selves, and people with superiority complexes.

In tough times like these I would love to see everyone pull together, be honest about the situation they are in and help eachother through without judgement.

....And I fully expect to be munching the haribos well into my sixties Mardartha.

That's not a bad thing HariboJunkie but to be able to "rise above" is not part of my make up. I think probably yourself and Ceridwen have a gentler nature than me

Gentler nature.....maybe I have....and then maybe sometimes I'm just too cynical to fall for an obvious set-up .....:cool::rotfl:. The jury is still out on that - I'll tell you when they come back with a verdict on that....:D.
