Re: From Janet re Sanda: ...??

[Guest guest]

It's just not for me to say things like " shit " or " ass " . Yeah, I

know to some people it makes me boring or too mild mannered and

such. But, it's just not me. I've had past girlfriends ask me why I

don't use the " f " word when making love and those sorts of things.

Again, it wouldn't me if I said those sorts of things. Maybe this

has something to do with my having AS or along those lines. I am

very passionate about the things I believe and such. Perhaps, I'm

too " old school " for a lot of people when it comes to the use of

language.

Thanks, Janet, for your comments. I grew up faster than a lot of

teenagers my age back in the early to mid 1980's, because I took on

more of a father role after my parents divorced. So, I helped my mom

out when possible and did things without complaning or being told

what to do. And you know what? My mom appreciate all that help so

very much. She asked me later on in life why I chose to help her. I

said, " What else was I suppose to do? I knew you wore so many hats

and such that I didn't want to see more pressure put on you. " I

amaze myself sometimes, even to this day to reflect on those times

during my teenage years and think what I have accomplished to this

point in my life. I was mature beyond my years as a child, so that

is perhaps why trouble has never found me. Amazing.
