Odd conversation. Anyway, I just found this thread so I'm gonna say something on-topic: :D it's a time thing with me, in real life I listen a lot more and don't speak as much (at least until the booze kicks in). Here, there is time to go back and review what someone said and bring it back to focus if necessary. In real life it's impractical to do that because conversations flow along and to keep getting so far only to have someone backtrack and bring up something said a half hour ago is ludicrous. Have I babbled enough for now?

Congrats, Herm!

I am an actor by trade, but I get that out of my system onstage. My mother, my friends, and my girlfriend all agree that I am a really bad liar anyway :)

I think a little of the road-rage thing can apply. There isn't that subtle communication between us that implies "I went too far" or "I'm sorry" or "I didn't quite mean it that way" etc., so it's easier to fly off the handle.

Btw, nothing wrong with potheadism. Just use water filtration like my doctor told me to.

I like it when you are giving of your intellect and use peaceful soliloquies to do so in communicating. You have such a deep side I wish you would let it come out and play more often.... you have much to share.

So in your enforced celibacy and solo living conditions - is this forum your social outlet? It must be difficult saying goodbye to your wife and child. Maybe it allows you to concentrate on the new workload tho.

I'll be honest with you, this forum is my social life. well, this forum and my msn friends. I tend to ignore my work outside of work hours so there's no extra concentration to be done. I find I generally need a visit every two months or so or I start to lose self-respect and motivation. Sad isnt it?

Sad temporarily - but it also has an upside - it's called being in love and missing someone.
Nothing like separation to recognize how much two people care to be together.
There are many couples who can't wait to part each day - to their own little other worlds away from their spouse. Now that would be sad. I think boredom is one of the chief complaints within marriage.
