I hesitated for quite a while before posting a pic of myself... Have never done it before. Decided though, after coming from another forum where I really felt misunderstood (or possibly misrepresented) that I just wanted to put 'me' forward here, as genuinely as possible. I think I appreciated Andy's openness too. It was nice to find 'real people' here... even if they do hide behind turnips
I don't put too much thought into what others are like... I guess I just take everyone as they come, in the moment. While I can be deep and thoughtful
sometimes 
, the bulk of my posts are made laffin, (even if I am being serious

) and I'm not easily offended - I laugh to easily. So I figured if I showed myself doing that, then maybe folks would be more inclined to remember that, if they misread me or tend to read attitude into something.
Another forum I am on, has just introduced "Must post pics and bios" which has been heaps interesting... Learned things about folks, I had never considered, and it is strange how quickly some of the facades crumbled away. We can only relate to people on what they offer, some offer more than others, I guess. All to their own, live and let live, and all that...
