I know I said I'd have more to say on the weekend. And, well, the weekend is here and I find myself at a loss for words. But I will say this, I am in my early thirties. In my late twenties, I was dropping long-time friends like flies. I too, was one of the lads. A bit too much of the...

He sounded like a good person. I'm sorry for your loss. I don't think the pain of regret ever leaves you when something like this happens. It definitely subsides over time, however.

New Zealand ;)

I bet you felt like you were in the Shire. Man, I could use a good ale right now. Maybe even some mead so I could feel kingly.

Was the ale any good?

This is just what I needed to hear after a long and painful day. Thank you Kiwong.

Thanks for the input everyone. I most likely won't have time to respond at length til the weekend. :unsure:

I have an issue where I tend to push people away after getting to know them. We'll be getting along just fine, even great. But then I start to fade away and avoid them. The initial few contacts before we become fully-fledged friends go great, but then I recede into my shell. Once the initial...

Great insight vj. Good point about puffing up the execution, when what is being said isn't even anything interesting to begin with. My comment definitely wasn't anything interesting. Yet, I feel the need to be part of the conversation. So I end up talking about mundane things that no one cares...

Wow. I hope you've made a full recovery. I understand (but only by way of my own imagination and the plethora of YouTube videos I've watched) that feeling of freedom. It seems like so much fun. Whenever the feeling arises in me and I am strongly considering purchasing a bike, I turn on some...

I've always wanted a bike... but riding is a risk. Afraid I'd kill myself, or more likely be maimed/killed by someone else.

I really should have used this at the moment my social faux pas occurred. I will keep it in mind for the future. Chances are I will have to use it.

I'm not quite sure that apologizing in this case would make matters any better. For all I know, the people involved didn't even take offense to it. I think I'm just going to let it go and let my personality speak for itself, that is, showing them I am an actual cool person over the next few...

Definitely a legend and up there with the greats.

That is unfortunate. I wonder what causes these foot-in-mouth instances to occur? Is it because we simply don't think before we speak or something else? In my aforementioned instance, I think I was trying to be clever and interesting in my delivery of the compliment, but I had not thought...
