Not even remotely close to how I imagined you looking.

That's funny; I thought the same thing.
It's funny how we get an image of a person in our brain and run with that.
I suppose I was thought to look like an old dude with lots of gray hair, overalls, driving a tractor, and yelling at kids to get off my lawn? Instead of some 40’ish dude who’s got just a slight touch of gray in his beard, loves hunting, hacks *kitten*, ain’t gonna cut his hair until he can donate it, and thinks he looks best in AE jeans?2 -

I look like an illegitimate child between Mike Tyson and Danny Devito after a five day ether binge.
.... and that's on my best day.
Ooh I got it right!1 -

Ummm no? Haha I just didn't picture light colored hair is all. And I can't picture you ever yelling at anybody unless you caught them kicking puppies or something. 2 -

I don’t see any Danny DeVito in you. 😂

true story
Danny Devito and I actually once spoke in person.
He's a super nice guy.... at least he was to me.3 -

Birds of a feather and all that.
So how did that conversation start and go and end? Just curious how one gets into a conversation with a celebrity.
Living in small town Podunk and hardly ever having celebrities breeze through here, we don't get that chance to meet famous people. Michael J. Fox filmed something here. Kris Kristofferson sang something here. Robin Williams made people laugh here(I assume he did because they ran out of tickets about 20 people ahead of me 
) and B.B.King played at a small college 8 miles away. TBH I felt honored to share the same air for a second in time as they did. Most people only see our exit sign off the interstate. One unique thing about our town though is there is no other town in the U.S. with the same name. It's our claim to fame. And so cool if you have to google it. 3 -

I think we need to rename him Sparky. 1 -
I had to buy a new ladder to change the oil in my vehicle because my 5’7” self can’t reach the dipstick or oil cap. 😂

The town I grew up in has the same name as towns in about 20 states, very similar names in at least 20 more states.2

Ol’ girl down the way complimented me on my tan and that got me to thinking… I never burn more than once in any region that seems to be in a particular latitudinal area. I also never wear sunscreen or tanning lotion. 🤷🏼♂️
For example, in high school I went to a tanning bed and got a base burn in one year and never burnt after that.
First time I went to Puerto Rico I got burnt but all other trips back there, Bahamas, etc, never did.
Guam, same. Saipan, same.
Don’t make any difference the time of year either. Those are more towards the equator but it’s the same no matter where. 🤷🏼♂️1 -
^bro we are living opposite lives for sure
😕 I burn just thinking about walking outside. Got my spf 50 mineral based sunscreen from coppertone that works the best and longest. It’s meant for babies but I guess that’s me. 👻 plus catch me at the beach with a coverup, giant sun hat and an umbrella. Irish pale looking like a goth. Smh.
One time I burnt talking to someone outside for 10 minutes around lunch hour👹 <my face3 -

Y’all two, wow, I can’t imagine.
Welp, I’m sorta the pool boy type so if I ever did catch either of ya at the beach I’d be happy to follow you around with umbrellas and whatever so you could have a spectacular day.4 -
I have:
scraped off old shingles and reroofed a house,
torn down 1mi of 100yr old barbed wire,
pounded t-posts, stretched barbed wire,
saddle broke a 4yr old stallion,
driven a tractor pulling a 15’ brush hog,
driven a bulldozer (not for me),
helped put up a-lot of stockade fence,
helped build a metal barn,
stoked and tended giant burn piles,
chainsawed until my arms were noodles,
loaded my Honda CR80 into the truck alone,
for years I drove a hour everyday to feed and tend to a herd of horses (27 at one point),
helped birth a foal,
got bit by that foal about a month later, lol,
chased down and grabbed a non-poisonous snake,
walked every foot of our 160ac farm alone repeatedly,
found with a metal detector artifacts from the homestead that had been on that land since the Land Run,
loved that land as much as a person can love land that is never really ours,
miss that land as much as a person can miss land.
There are homes being built on it now.
I can’t bring myself to go out there and see.
I cry over the lose often.

Love it. Livin ‘ my dream right there. Parts of my life were similar and I wouldn’t change one minute of it. Except I’d have been a better person. I’d change that.
And pigs. I’d not have worked on a pig farm. 🤢🤮
I feel ya about the land. Imma buy every bit of land I can around me as it comes up for sale. I don’t want neighbors and I’d be awfully salty if the land were developed. I don’t think the farmers would let that happen though. But, the. Again, $ talks so who knows.2 -
I used to cry a lot. Not anymore. Idk if that's a good thing or a bad thing.6

I’ve always liked being with people. And I’ve also always liked being by myself. Those “how to tell if you’re an introvert/extrovert” things never worked for me. I’m energized by both.🤷🏻♀️3

My personality type is INFJ, and I love the beach.1

I hear that INFJ is more rare…but I feel like that’s the only combo I ever hear people say! Maybe I’m wrong. I should look into those personality types, it’s seems interesting.2 -
How does one find their personality type; where's the test I absolutely need to take? 2

I grew up canning green beans, tomatoes, cucumbers / pickles, etc. It was always an annual, multi-generational, family affair. Years and years of this. How hard could it be?
So, I like hot stuff. I grew and canned all sorts of peppers. Jalapenos that I left on the vine until they turned red and cracked, bird's eye chili peppers, cayenne, etc. I left them all on the vine hoping for the hottest and spiciest peppers I could grow.
I followed the directions in the Ball Blue Book exactly. Didn't deviate a single thing... Except one warning; wear gloves. I'm a man, a mans man, I don't wear gloves, I don't wear PPE, I bow up and don't *kitten* out like that.
So, I'm picking the fruits. All good.
I'm cutting the fruits. All good.
I'm still cutting the fruits. Hrmmmmm, my nose is getting snotty and my fingers are tingling...
I'm canning the fruits in EVOO and vinegar. Things are getting better and I'm all good again.
By this time I've had a couple pints of homemade beer and I need to go wee.
Weeeeeeelp, things are not so all that good anymore. That *kitten* was HOT! Lesson learned, no more touching the important things.
I suck it up and get back to canning.
Fast forward to that night. As if i wasn't FBR enough earlier I go and stick my fingers into my eyeballs to remove my contacts. Now, I've been hit with mustard gas more than once. It had nothing on the pain my eye ball was currently in.
I thought to myself "Self, maybe if you're really quick with the other eye it won't hurt." I put the contact into the container and proceed to stick my digits into my other eye to take out that contact. Neigh neigh moose breath.
But, I bowed up and took it like a champ.
Fast forward to the next morning...
What does my dumb *kitten* do? Takes a wee and said to myself "Self, that still burns a little. I shouldn't grab ol' boy again today.", washed my hands, then proceeded to stick my still pepper oil covered fingers into the contact lens case, pulled out a contact lens still covered in pepper oil from the previous evening, and proceed to stuff it into my eyeball.
I had one hellova time forcing my eye open so I could grab onto it and yank it out. Each time I touched my eye or the contact the burn was rejuvenated.
And that, dear friends, is why I now wear gloves when canning hot peppers.8 -

It seems that way, I was told it was rare as well. My sister and I went through therapy when we were younger, and they conducted different tests. This was on some old paperwork I found at my step-moms. However, I took the Meyer Briggs later in life. It was really interesting when I found out and started researching it. 1 -
Hmmm, for today, I guess 🤔
As outgoing and as much as I have an IDGAF attitude I gave I’m actually really old fashion when it comes to ladies and interacting with them.
I worry about things like offending gals by saying anything inappropriate in front of them and I am cautious about complimenting any gal out in the forum where it’s public because I sorta think it can be rude.
I’m not shy but I try to be respectful.7 -
My mother was an Opera singer then a voice teacher.
One of her students was Leona Mitchell, a famous Soprano who sang at the Met.
When I was 11yrs old I portrayed her daughter in an Opera for 2 performances.
Thankfully I did not have to sing. 😀8 -
So, Ms. @LaneaJ's canned plumb jam reminded me about how FBR I went the first time I canned on my own.
