I'm very thin skinned. I take any criticism of my work as a personal attack, and I respond angrily. I've been working on it for years, and I'm getting better, but it's a long struggle.

He's still here. His username is now SHBoss1673 Same guy,

Solid 9. I love (and fear) redheads. :smile:

Endless respect for Henry Rollins. Intelligence, decency, attitude, balls. And a kickin' physique. I don't want to date him, I want to emulate him.

I got a lot of compliments about the weight loss, especially when I was down around my goal weight. I'm working back toward that now and progressing. I'm your basic grey bearded bald guy, so not a lot of compliments on the physical stuff, and that's Ok. There's an old saying ""Men who are friends constantly insult each…

You couldn't keep up. (See what I mean?)

Extroverted arrogant showboat attention *kitten* - with a raging Napoleon complex and a side order of unjustified egomania. The first step to solving a problem is admitting that you have one.

Well I'll be darned (DARNED, WITH AN "R")... After over 3 years and close to 3000 posts, I finally got one pulled by a mod. No kilt jokes... :laugh:

It's not good for a man to have his stuff all constrained. Commando, all day every day. I have a pair of boxers around somewhere for "occasions".

If I was walking down the street minding my own business, and some big dude comes up in a civilian car and no badge, and he's strapped, I'm thinking "Mugger", and I'm probably fighting or running. He probably would'a shot me too.

I was wondering if anybody else caught that.

This,,, Calories is calories,,, if you have 700 calories to spend on dinner, and you choose to have a slice of pizza instead of cardboard salad w/bean sprouts - and you still keep it under 700 calories,,, then it's not "cheating", it's just another choice.

Think in terms of what you can make for dinner, that's also pretty decent at room temperature. I dunno,,, grilled chicken strips? Taco salad? I fix way too much dinner, and then she and I have sack lunches for days without too much extra effort, and you know exactly what's in tthere. Food for thought.

We have an old basset and a young shih-tzu. I walk them several times a day - and all in all I probably burn a few calories doing it. But,,,,, When I walk them late in the evening I do it with a 280 calorie glass of whisky in my hand. Damn dogs... :laugh:

I can't think of a thing. My wife says I have to use that big greasy crayon on my armpits in the morning, but I don't know why. I do it to shut her up.

Yeah, Ok,,,, Ya sure, that's it. :laugh:

Whisky. Good canadian whisky. Most evenings I settle in with a nice 4 ounce glass. That's 270 calories,,, so I might as well be eating ice cream. I have to budget it. No, I don't get drunk. I sip it over a long period of time and just get a little ,,,, tingly. That's my vice.

My type - petite. I never wanted to date a woman over about 5'2". I've been married to a 5'9" woman for 23 years. She likes to wear strappy heels and tower over me. Make 'er feel like a trophy wife. Which she basically is. She's hot, and I look like a balding troll. How the hell did that happen? I like 'em petite! I do,…

The "Gay guys" thing doesn't bug me, several of my best friends are gay. If someone saw me in a kilt and thought I was half man Christian is, I'd be proud,

This is interesting, there seem to be a couple of different ways of looking at this. To some the kilt is a symbol of Scottish national pride, and a non-scot wearing a kilt could seem insulting, or posing, or at least disrespectful. Almost like a white guy in a native american chief's headdress. To others, it's a fashion…

Oh sure I could. :laugh:

Thanks guru - wisdom there. I've seen "Ugly american tourists", I know what you're talking about. One can honor a heritage without aping, parodying or being disrespectful.

Thanks for this. I'm from a large family of white folks in the south who vaguely claim "Scotch-Arsh". I had the standard issue 8 great grandparents and 16 great-great grandparents. It's almost unimaginable that there ain't a scot in there somewhere. Part of my interest is my love for my daughter in-law, the former Miss…

Wow, lots of response. By my count: 32 Yeas 9 Nays 18 Just a statement or question - no opinion, Thanks guys. I'll probably grab a casual kilt in black and wear it 3 times a year. No biggie.

Thanks. I think I can pull it off.

I'm of casual and undetermined heritage. My family is from eastern virginia, one of the first areas in the states to be colonized, and my father's family has been here a long time and as far as I know that lineage is lost. I have heard mention among the old folks that the family is Scots-Irish, but I cannot draw a direct…

Nice, thanks. I have a pretty solid vocab, but I had to look that one up. sar·to·ri·al /sɑrˈtɔriəl, -ˈtoʊr-/ adjective 1. of or pertaining to tailors or their trade: sartorial workmanship. 2. of or pertaining to clothing or style or manner of dress: sartorial splendor.

Interesting. My fam has been in the states for a long long time and has lost all heritage, but there are grandma rumors of Scots-Irish heritage, like most of the white folks in the south. There is a tartan for my family name, but it's hard to justify $400 for a skirt. Thanks for the input.
