2.) you make fun of bowlers with less ability than you.

3.) you prefer wimmen with big feet. (this is the most mysterious)

4.) you construe everything as a personal attack.

OTOH, you make a good martini.

You like dogs and most other critters.

And you're hetero-sexual (see No. 3 above).

So, it's like most stuff, gotta take the good with the bad.

I am just curious as to what other's perceptions are. Do I care, maybe a little. If they are totally off then I will do a little critical self reflection and attempt to change those perceptions.

You want me to sound like a macho man and pretend I don't care at all what people think. I care, doesn't mean it effects me. Doesn't mean I'm gonna feel sorry for myself.

That stuff isn't bad, especially at $0.53/bottle.

I never would have thought to try it if you hadn't mentioned it.

I did pay for it first though.

I will accept #4 as a serious critisism. I am sure it comes off that way.

I do not take it personal, at all. I have been scrutinized daily for the last 20 years. But I do "defend" my points with what I know best, the fighting spirit of the Marine Corps. Normally that means attack.

In case you missed it, I am a 20 year retired Marine. Guess what, thin skinned Marines don't make it 20 years. Every day your decisions are questioned, your grooming, physical fitness, mannerisms, deportment, etc.. are looked at. That goes for every Marine, we all answer to someone.

On top of that, I became an air traffic controller about 16 years ago. You wanna talk about criticism. Every move you make is second guessed by either the supervisior watching you or the trainee you are responsible for training. Even though I have been qualified in three different control towers, when I start working in Tampa Intl, I will have to be "trained" again. Probably by someone that has never worked in another place. I will also be on probation, where I can be fired without cause for the first year.

Believe me, I don't take it personnaly. My wife and dog would be dead if I did.

I like fish, mostly raw. Cooked is OK.

it is much better if you drink it then pay

I'll have to try that next time.

Any recommendations for music to drink key lime water by for my MP3 player?
