I still need freed of my boredom.

I'd happily let you run my appointments for me.

 

[sun rise]

No, but as you might guess, I'll discuss
religion at the drop of a hat...or pants.
Civility & discussing common ground
(not just differences) goes a long way.
And I don't bite.

You've been able to drop biting remarks upon occasion.

How you avoid that but not me? Especially when I was a neo-Pagan people didn't like my response when asked.

I've known many who are so scared they won't leave home without a gun. My ex's brother in law is one such person, and it unnerved her Dutch stepfather to see a gun at someone's side during a family dinner. My dad is another, and pretty much any job I've had he's insisted I need one and told me to get one and start carrying it.

I've no problem with concealed carry. Open carry makes me nervous, because I'm not used to seeing firearms. If it was usual then it wouldn't bother me. I see them used in films to shoot people, not carried quietly.

The "never leave home without them" crowd are overwhelmingly open carry, yes, even at family gatherings. They also usually make it a point to make it known they are armed. Which is extremely helpful and usuful to know if I'm actually about to shoot the place up.
It scars me those sorts are armed. As I said, I imagine these are yhe sorts who emd up on the news over an obviously bad shooting in a Stand Your Ground state.

 

[Shadow Wolf]

I don't know why we don't consider it a mental disturbance to be so scared an attack that you're almost nearly always armed.
And bringing a gun in a bar is why I say those "Dark Ages" people knew better, because they did know better amd often didn'taallowed having weapons with you at a pub because even they knew alcohol and weapons don't mix well.

Even though the guns are safe and inert I don't like an explosive so close to me, which is what ammunition is. I know it doesn't matter, and we are all surrounded by insane dense energy every day. Death is always near, basically. We are next to power lines and electric sockets and speeding automobiles pass us only centimeters away. We ride motorcycles and climb ladders and walk on two legs (very dangerous by the way). I have used firecrackers before. I've burned myself before. I don't like explosives next to my body. Just don't like that concept.

And I don't bite.

That would of course would depend on what definition of "bite" is.... if it is the slag term we used in Massachusetts when I was a kid.... you might

A little girl ran up to you, petted you and said you were a handsome bear and you did not maul her.

nope

 

[Revoltingest]

I meant those I've known who always have their gun on them. As I described them, they are too quick to think of their gun as a shield and sollution. The sorts I imagine who make the news in a Stamd Your Ground state where an obviously bad shooting happened and the law is being claimed as a defense.

Claiming the law as a defense, & being acquitted aren't always the same thing.

 

[Revoltingest]

You've been able to drop biting remarks upon occasion.

Unlike you though, I don't leave teeth marks.

 

[Wu Wei]

Had another thing happen today I can talk about.... a person I know in another government office, who is now in charge of that office.... wants me to go there and build and take over their IT office..... had to explain, sadly, things do not work that way in government

I have a soft mouth. My bark is MUCH worse than my bite.

Slag is the crusty covering of a weld.
Is that what you were?

Mouthwash could help with that.

not slag, that was a typographical error.... don't make me go into my spelling-nazi self defense mode......The slang in my high school days in Massachusetts.... hmmm....your response is making me think it applies and that you do, in fact, bite

I genuinely thought your "slag" was some kind of slang I dint know.
But now I understand that you're just a careless typist.

Never said otherwise.... and due to my vision, as I have said before, I am a horrible proof reader on a computer screen..... and I was right...you do bite

True, but those who claim it as a defense after a very bad shooting, I imagine those are the types who opem carry at family gatherings.
