for the green mile

sometimes we say and do things that are not the most appropriate and we learn as we go. we cannot all answer for others actions and why they do and do not answer their PMs. not having one answered is not a death warrant.

I tend to go pellmell through life and quite often have consequences from things I have inadvertently bashed into. I learn from these things and carry on. that is how life works.

it is hard making these forays into a world we do not necessarily understand or that may not understand us. trial and error is a proven tool, and using it with a group of people that do care is the best place to work on it

I think going away would be a bad thing, so please do not do it

regardless, you know where I am

I'm often stuck with my foot in my mouth, so I can sympathise with everyone who philosophizes about the fine art of living.

Sometimes I have to t(h)read very warily, in order not to make too much of a fool of myself.

Well; I'm here too.

Also I hope to win something in the MR Fall Contest

Some people are born with a silver spoon in their mouth...

I, unfortunately, was born with a left foot in my mouth...my own left foot...and 51 years later, I still can't get the dang thing out...

I have my own as well as several others firmly secured in my mouth

I try to think about what I say first, it doesn't always work - if I've not got my own foot in my mouth I often get someone else's foot somewhere else

In a forum of this nature, with such a huge diversity of locations, backgrounds, and cultures we have to be careful of what we say but not so much that we say nothing.

Has anyone else ever re-read your own post and wondered what the hell you were trying to say?

That's embarrassing.
