Since McJ isn't here: Would you say you are the sensitive type, Todd?
Not particularly.

I was almost fired once for not being "sensitive enough". Apparently I said something that someone else found offensive. When I asked them how I should know what was or wasn't ok to say, they told me to just think about whether or not I would find that particular statement offensive if said to me. I told them I couldn't think of anything that I would find offensive. Weird, yes. Disturbing, possibly. Reflecting the speakers lack of intelligence, almost definitely.

I think I'll probably fit right in here. For the most part I like people (although there are days that I hate them as a species), but given enough time I will probably say something that will tick you off. Not on purpose. It's just a talent.

I've always believed that opinions are like fecal discharge orifices. Everybody has one, and mine is the only one that doesn't stink.

Todd - you can use the word 'arsehole' here.....  :lol:

I know, but I like to dick around with the English language. Sort of make folks scratch their heads a bit to figure out what the hell I'm talking about. (Is that better).

It's fine to be creative with your choice of words.  I don't usually curse either.

I've noticed that. But some sure have cursed you...   :lol:

Not that I am.

I see your book is based in Minnesota. Have you lived in Minnesota, or just a random choice of location?

I lived there for 5 years until my job started going away. We loved it there and would like to move back.

Where did you live? I was born and grew up here, went off and saw the world for a while, and came back.
I love it here, it's a great place to live.

We lived in Wilmar. I repaired dialysis machines for Davita Dialysis and travelled around pretty much the southwestern corner with occasional trips to Sioux Falls. Also had a unit in Fairmont for while. Mostly only went into The Cities for meetings or shopping.
