pardon me for barging in here and starting to post right and left all over the place. And long posts too!
My intent was to just stop in and read. But some of the questions and comments intrigued me. And, I knew some of the people from my years in the other NACR forum.
And then there's the fact that I am a talker. It's hard to shut me up. Yet another of my character defects. Not to mention my pride.
I get really uncomfortable when I look at the "last post" column and see my name repeated so many times. Sometimes I just need someone to kick me under the table like my wife does when I focus on myself to much or go on too long.
I feel a little akward because the abuse I experienced has been so inconsequential compared to what others have endured. As I've posted about my story, at times I've felt the need to word things as dramatically as possible (with being deceitful) to justify my presence here.
My experience has been that when I am feeling anxious about a situation, it's sometimes beneficial to admit that. So there, it's on the table.
In His grace,
Michael
