How much depends on whether I piss them off or not.
Do people generally like you?

great comments. (i hear ya, LHG) and the boundary/parameters are a big deal and, unfortunately, there are times when we make such an effort to get along w/individuals because of social, family, work-related situations, religion, whatever, and realize (duh) it's insane to continue. boundaries don't work with all disordered characters and it's a waste of time. i think people generally like me (have a few friends since childhood and forever). seems it's the nice people that are taken advantage of and i've had a couple of friends tell me i'm a soft --- easy touch/target, whatever, and i denied it at one time, but realize they're right. who wants to carry themselves like a junkyard dog (but you do have to be very cautious) and not be loving toward others. there are a lot of dynamics at play w/individuals.
terry --- i really enjoy your posts and you seem to be very nice/straightforward.

I'm not much of a small talker...Mad Sweeny
Gage me with a spoon. I despise small talk, just as soon be stabed in the knee with a fork and strangled with a pair of panty hose than attempt small talk.
What about this weather?...nice hair cut...love your shirt...how you feeling today? Hows the family?, blah, bu blah, bu blah....shoot me instead, end my misery please.......I have to engage in conversations with substance....

People generally like me.
It's always been that way.
LOL.
For what it is worth, I like you, Terry.
I believe you and I could sit on the porch and split a watermelon together.

How do you perceive me, Terry....honestly? I've been on this board over four years now. I have replied to a gazillion of your posts. In all those thoughts put into words, have you ever noticed or formed an opinion?
You seem to be a solid citizen to me. You aren't a chain-rattling idealogue trying to start a scuffle and you don't ever try to make others feel small or stupid.
We could use all of your tribe we can get on this discussion board!

I guess so...
You know, I'm not really a monkey. :) Just someone who has far too much time on their hands. :( Canadian winters are awful. :'(
