More than I expected

Mulebear,

You still sound a trifle bit cynical, leary, pessimistic, and a bitch about it all...

Krrrrrrrrrr...

...and if so, what? He's entitled to be who he is, feel how he feels, and express himself just like the rest of us. At least he IS talking about things, which is always a positive thing. He certainly isn't giving anyone any shit.

Hi and welcome, Mulebear. Seems like you have a lot to share, no pun intended.

Thanks again,

I approach almost everything with a bit of skepticism, but skepticism and cynicism are not the same thing. The cynicism only sets in when I find some evidence that makes me question a strongly held skeptical belief. I was fairly sure that this forum was a home for bullshitters, but I am finding evidence to the contrary. The cyncism is from waiting for the other shoe to drop. Hopefully I'll discover that there is no other shoe.

Leary? Yes a little.

Pessimistic? No, not at all. Cautious would be a more appropriate word.

Bitch? All depends on what you read into a post. I could easily look at what you wrote and think the same about you, but this is the internet and what we write does not always accurately reflect what we are feeling. This is why emoticons came into being.

Apologies, but I tend to be a bit long winded.

Thanks again to everyone who said hello.
