Okay, this'll be my last public response on this topic.

Yes, different smells...or variations I guess...and sounds...

Well I understand the sounds.. lol.

Lol.. this subject uncomfortable for you? From my observation.. people can be weird with farts. I was listening to a radio show and the host said he kicked his girlfriend out of the house and broke up with her because she farted in his presence. Everyone was laughing and he was like.. no seriously this really happened.

I mean.. it's just a natural biological function. What he did sounded really horrible to me.

Which instrument to learn next: saxophone or flugelhorn? I have more experience with brass than woodwinds, so flugelhorn would be the most straightforward option. However, I've always been interested in learning how to play with a reed.


I love flutes!

Of the Zauber variety especially...!

I just read the average person farts half a liter a day, lol.


Well, with your superpower (not being able to smell them)...they may be called Zauberfloaters...!

Well, one thing is certain, a woman may just be herself with you...in every conceivable way!

Yeah, you would not do well in jail or prison...just on that alone.

That's good you're a good boy!

I am writing the narrative for my annual performance review. It has been a very difficult year and I am having a lot of difficulty with the tone of the writing.

If I tell the truth...the actual truth in all its ugliness, I'm sure to get dragged into a disciplinary meeting.

If I lie and tell the committee I am writing to that this year was 'great', I'm confident I will have a job for another year.

Truth or a lie?

Obviously, the right thing to do is easy. The consequences of that choice are not.

Construct the narrative with these components:

Situation (pandemic)
Expectations (academic response)
Challenges (wins and losses)
Lessons (professional growth)
Summation

Most people in academia would say the same. It was a difficult year all around.

Made some awesome 2020 music videos of friends/family that have been there for me through my training, destination training and one I personally sent to the girls that supported me through dating. Its been a great year of Transformation both physically, relationally and spiritually. I'm amazed how the Lord, even though I've been neglectful of my quiet times for some months, has continued to guide by the Holy Spirit through dreams, visions, and others led to pray for me. I've been protected from quite a few bad ones. And I'm thankful that I've learned to walk away more from some of those I'm attracted to that are not of good character.

Thankful for the flexibility this year in my job between work remote, on the road and in the office. Thankful for improved relationships and creativity in my workplace. Although much of it has been virtual, we've found ways to be connected. And I've been able to continue to lead others into healthy choices. I will have to evaluate and try to round up more wellness advocates to continue to spread support since I can't be everywhere in my agency's district.

Thankful for the amazing health I've had and being leaps and bounds of difference from what the majority with my condition are. Thankful that I've been protected from Covid so far, as it could end up hospitalizing me with my condition.

Thankful for Christian Forums singles sub group fellowship. Everyone that participated in my breakup/leaving and sorting through everything that happened and where to go forward. My recovery was much quicker than what I went through in 2006 with another guy. And not as hard a hit. I've learned so much here and hope that I've also been able to help and support in some way others.

These are interesting times were living in. I last heard that the general public won't have access to the vaccine till mid summer, but a few days ago I saw someone from highschool in texas was able to get it already.

Blessings to all in 2021 that are reading this and made it to the end of this post.

My father is reading the bible every night before bed (which is more than I am doing) and a friend of 20 years has just joined her first church after years of atheism.

There's honestly nothing better than seeing people finding their faith. I thought for all money my father was a lost cause.

Well, I'm glad Mickie D's was available before court. Gotta at least have something in the belly before possibly getting thrown in the slammer...

Two Mc Chicken bisquits should do it. It's a whole new staple (I don't think I'm using this correctly) for me... haven't been here in so long.

I remember the last time I got a haircut...ha ha...I asked my barber if she new the difference between a hero and a villain...

She was like, "No, what?"

I said "The hero wears a mask and the villain paints their face."

I thought she would ponder this profound truth for, at least a few seconds, but she immediately came back with "What about the one who does both?" And then she mentioned one, but I forgot who...

That's when, I pondered and replied, "Ahh... you're the first one to ask that!"

...so...yeah...


*Maybe it was Catwoman...

The pot saga is resolved. After multiple calls and failed pickup requests, they issued a refund, promotional credit, and told me to keep it. Thankfully, I don't need to order anything from them for a bit.
