Hey Merg,

Well, this has gone way off topic, but that's par for this forum.
I hope you don't tone it down; it wouldn't be you if you did. I think I misundestood you for an annoying little d!psh!t at first. Now I just think you're over full of the love of life. Nothing wrong with that. I think I understand that you understand that you don't know it all, but are just confident in what you think you do know. I like that attribute. And you're direct, and that rubs many people the wrong way. I see that as a problem ownership issue that isn't necessarily yours. And you have little or no discretion. Sometimes that is a problem, and sometimes it will be made to be your problem. But you'll catch on, cuz you've already demonstrated that you're not as dumb as a stump.

And if you leave the hahahahahaha at home, I could probably even stand you in my boat for a day if you take your Ritalin.

I'm glad meeting girls is as easy as breathing for you. Because this is the time in your life that you can really capitalize on it. Someday you'll be as old as I am, and you'll still be able to meet women perhaps even easier than breathing, and it'll be 'so what?' Older folks say that youth is wasted on the young. I'm glad to see that you're making what appears to be the best of it.
