Then why bother. It's more fun not pretending to be sane. At least people aren't shocked at what you do or say. They'll just say something like, "That's just Fireftr18 being his normal self."
You do understand I spent half my life willingly going into burning buildings, right?

That's part insanity, but mostly dedication.

As for pretending, I have to. It's part of the deal. If my true self came out they really would lock me up.

In some ways the people here don't know me at all. That's true of anybody on an internet forum, but yeah, there's a whole 'nother me.

Dear Steve,

You do know that it looks like the fine young lad in your avatar is wearing a Ritterkreuz, right?

Sincerely,
Ritterkreuz Lover

Yep. I only changed pictures as a test for Neal, but when I saw it with the 'award' I decided to keep it.

A good Steve or a bad Steve.....Course, I suspect some of both.

I have never found a companion that was
so companionable as solitude.
We are for the most part more lonely
when we go abroad among men
than when we stay in our chambers.
A man thinking or working is always alone,
let him be where he will.
- Henry David Thoreau

The truth is always some of both. Anyone who denies it is a liar. Anyone who consistently plays down one and acts like the other is all there is has something to hide.

Like the quote, by the way.

Dear DR. Steve,

Can you please inform some of your hillbilly friends that there is no such thing as Witches.......Maybe they are mistaken and do not know that many of my friends and their Coven's prefer to be known as Wiccan's.

Wow, old people s*ck.

THe Wiccan religion {i say that lightly} believes in Witches. "All Wiccans are Witches, but not all Witches are Wiccan"

I don't know any hillbillies and I don't Have any friends. One of the friends I don't have is a high-level computer expert but looks like a hillbilly.

I don't know any witches or any Wiccans. I do know that you never use an apostrophe in a plural (it's "covens", not "coven's", and "Wiccans", not "Wiccan's").

I certainly hope so.
