Hello Everyone, I'm dawg!!

I thought I'd post this to introduce myself because I never gave you fair warning about me.

About me:

I'm an Englishman living in an Idahoan world. It does things to ya. I'm a geek. That does things to ya as well.

My sense of humor is satirical, sarcastic and very very very very dry.

I am frequently perceived as dry, abrasive, condescending, mean, judg(e)mental, calous, and heartless.

Despite evidence to the contrary, there is a slight pulse deep within this stoney heart and I do actually care about people in pain.

I rarely say the right thing. I frequently make it worse after trying to do a "cover your ass" from saying the wrong thing.

If you give me seventeen benefits of the doubts, you might actually start to 'get' me.

I am insanely protective of my wife and will leap to her defense whether she needs my help or not.

I love a good discussion or debate. I'm less fond of arguments and fights.

I think that about covers it.

Wait... I left out zealous and opinionated.

I make a sack full of pittbulls look sane.

Dawg I get the feeling you'd be an absolute hoot in real life. Written words are harder to interpret. I always get the feeling you're tongue in cheek and have a giggle, but I think its hard for people to read the tone of what you've said. Posting that was a good idea, I really hope that clears the air for a lot of people.

I'm an Englishman...

Well, that explains a lot...especially the spelling thing.

Serioulsy, I've been reading a lot of Bryce Courtenay lately (a WONDERFUL Austrailian writer) and there are a few spellings used regularly that kinda throw me (like "practise").

I make a sack full of pittbulls look sane.

Yeah, got that.

(lol)

And whatever thread it was where you posted that my post was silly... you were absolutely right.

Welcome Dawg! I've noticed many of the above descriptions in some of your posts... you are definitely entertaining! (Entertainment being one of the main reasons I read here, after giving and receiving support). Good luck to you in your weight loss by association!

I am indeed mostly 'tongue in cheek'.

Not very good at being politically correct either

As for the 'hoot' in real life. I'm actually even more of a miserable bastard. I enjoy it

I am right with ya dawg! But my DH says I am less annoying than a pack of chihahaus. Haven't lived to my full potential then. But I am working on it.....

...as a expatriot 'Son of the Spud' ---grew up in Boise---- I bid you Welcome to BandLand!!!

And beware the ides of PotatoNacht!!! Spud spores are known to have changed the very function of Silicon chip Life Forms....

Good advice Jack, a bit odd perhaps, maybe even insane... but still good.

Dawg...let me put this to you simply. You know my pissed thread?? I married a man exactly like you! Make sure you don't pull and ass move like Rob did. Pnut may not be as kind as I was. LOL I nall seriousness. Personalities like yours are hard to find, and truly cherished.

Hi Dawg,

Glad you and Susan found your way to our Bandland. You offer a bit of zeal to this board - and have definately brought out a few smiles among the dead.

Welcome!

Both of you... WELCOME!

Welcome Dawg,

I have read your post's and can see you will give us a run for our money..
