I always knew most people here didn't like me. But telling people is a waste of time. As the saying goes: SHOW don't tell. I posted threads recently and nobody answered them and I thus realised I was corrrect in my assessment no one cares about me here. So that's your lesson for today. SHOW, don't tell.

Sometimes when I go outside I assign strangers a number.

I look at one man and say to myself he is 1. At another he is 2. At a woman she is 3. At another she is 4. This helps me put into context everything. Because if you think about it, everything has to add up.

7 That's a holy number. I know that perhaps you may think I am trying to curry favour but I truly did see this number for you. Now what does this number mean? You're an angel.

You should save that number for someone more worthy - I am not an angel - far from it , maybe Bartleby or Loki:lol:

And if I assigned numbers to people you would be 96

I try not to post anything that I think could be harmful. Sometimes I don't make the right call, but that's the main thrust.

@Well, I know one person who likes you here...So I guess you won't be able to say that anymore. :-) Seriously though, I am glad you are here. You seem like a nice guy who maybe hasn't had it so easy?
