Proof nobody pays much attention to avatar pics around here...

Your Avatar should be treated like your underwear. Change every couple of weeks or so. LOL

Greetings sir and thanks for posting. I appreciate that. :)
Yes, the natural reaction would be to have a guarded, self-protective sort of demeanor.
That's logical - we are hard-wired to be that way, really - and I was for quite some time in my own life.

You know what changed that for me, though?
Going to sound overly-dramatic....but dying a few times had a bit of an effect on my outlook.
Not even kidding - and keep in mind, there may have been some physiological changes inside this carcass
with all the medical events, I'll acknowledge - but coming out the other side of dodging death more than
once has rendered me more determined than ever to enjoy other folks whenever possible.

Yes, that sometimes leads to some surly bastahd saying or doing something hateful towards me; some folks
are grumpy as hell by nature, after all.
The old me would have taken such to heart...
Not so much now, though. If someone else wants to be miserable, that's their problem - and if I can do
something to help (and they're receptive, of course), hey I'm all about that.
BUT...
To the relatively tiny number of people still alive that I actually give a damn about their opinions, yeah -
those still hurt when they're negative towards me.
The "I don't give a fluck" is harder to summon when it's concerning someone we care/think a lot of...
and that's perfectly natural too, I suppose.

I always enjoy reading your posts. Regarding your thoughts from this one. I’ve never really cared what people thought of me. I know who and what I’ve always been as a person, friend or contractor. I don’t hang out with friends, I have a few close friends and when one of us needs something, we’re there for each other. I don’t sweat the small stuff or the big stuff really. I try to treat people (no matter who) the way I like to be treated. There are and always be people who think they’re, better, smarter, or whatever. Let ‘em have at it, if it makes them feel better about themselves, whatever it takes. Real people such as yourself, are comfortable in themselves and don’t need the petty BS in their life. Take care sir and I think there’s a reason the good lord has kept you around as long as he has.

Ok fine - "Bob" is back as a "semi-permanent" avatar for me after more than one kind soul requested such.
Apparently a lot of folks use these avatars as an initial identification of who the other party is...
I'll have to admit I have done the same with some of the regulars around here, too - I get it.
 
As a matter of fact, regular members here are sought after if you do not show up in a while, Ias I can testify, no your avatar didn't change for me at all but, you among all members here can testify for the good will and care of the entire site, this is a place full of good people land you know that very well, no am not trying to be rude l, just making a point here.

Weeel, I met a girl and she seems to like me as much as I like her....more like love....so I haven't been on here nearly as much in the past couple of months. She likes cars too but likes GM stuff even though she loves the 64 Dart I recently picked up but she's open to the old Mopars and likes them. Life is good right now but I know all too well how fast that can change. Like you said, life is for the living so I'm not going to dwell on the 'what if' stuff but never really did dwell on it even though I have been thinking about that some.....kain't do that though! Glad you're still here!
