Hmmm. not too sure i could succesfuly answer a fictitious question! lol... however history has shown that these sea creatures exist ( somewhat in the imaginary eye of a sailor in new lands/waters) Was more of a 14century plus ideology i think. I also think Manatees were seen as mermaids once aswell. When one sees something for the first time they have to categorize it to something they are aware of especially in times of great superstition... But again cant be too sure. I think Racheypie would be the professional person to ask on this subject... There were a few other creatures of the sea that were seen as mermaids but not too sure what they were as it has been some years reading on that subject...

But who knows maybe they were Hermaphrodite.. Or pulled the sailors from their vessels to get their wicked way and then discard ( not dissimilar to present day dating! )

The sailors must have had lively imaginations if they mistook manatees for mermaids.
But seeing as sea voyages were often very lengthy back then they probably forgot what women looked like.

High consumption of rum and sh***y sea biscuits can change a males perspective of beauty! lol

Beauty is in the eye of the bottleholder alright.

I haven't had a drink in over a week.

lol, yup

Cool beans! nice one! Actually had someone sit down with me today talking about their alcoholism and they are now at AA. After an hour chatting she thanked me profusely and said i had given her numerous points of view she had not yet realised... Then that was followed by some idiot threatening to kick my head in! Seems the universe needed to balance the good with the bad! Wish it just left it at the first conversation!

Are you very structured and disciplined, Uncle?

In what way?

^ oh, I was just thinking, it's the structure and discipline that I most miss about work.
The routine.
I'm not very good at making my own schedule.
If you have all day to do something, why bother doing it at all?

You're very good to take the time to talk to and help people.

Hmmm... I dont think i am... I have my daily routine and circuit in town i do because it is relatively safe and few dramas ( other than today ) ... I dont make lists even though i probably should.. Seems i may have some executable issues.. My mind can be all over the place or focused on an interest. I am disciplined in some areas and terrible in others ( ie today's altercation, i ended up opening my mouth and calmly telling them what i thought of them when in hindsight i maybe should not of done but was over the years of his patronizing ways so reversed the tables and seemed to trigger him immensely. Seems i bruised his ego. would likely not have done that but has been a very few rough weeks and ended up saying something i maybe should not have)

So seems i mix and match of discipline and structure.

I try... I can relate to peoples pain and dont want them to feel that way but also tell them the truth in a way that doesnt come across as combative... Just give points of view that others may not give. and always tell them it is only my point of view and i could be wrong in certain areas but if you can get anything positive from what i have said then all the better..
I did have someone yesterday mention he thought i came across as stuck up and arrogant. I just explained that maybe how my external expression comes across but inwardly i am actually the opposite. After explaining a little about the spectrum he seemed to understand a little better. However i did spend all night last night thinking about what he said... I only have points of view and if anyone gets any benefit from that then great, if not no worries. I dont think i am stuck up or arrogant. I can just be a little deep in my conversations which differs from most conversations and may be perceived as arrogant when the reality is very much the opposite.

I'm very sporadic.
Have ten things on the go at once.
Hopelessly forgetful.
The first entry on every list is "don't forget the list."
Executive issues?
Oh, Lordy, yes.
I want to be more organised.

I was asked today if I had my money when I left the house to go shopping.
I said yes because I had my wallet.
But I had no money.
And I needed cash.
At least I had my pants on.

Yes, it's interesting how we are often perceived as different to how we mean to be.
I've just faced this very same issue - said things that were then twisted to mean something else.
It made me lose all confidence in my ability to be understood.
Made me wonder if I should speak at all if it could be taken so contrary to what I intended.
It got me very down.
I understand completely.

A moving truck has just backed into the house across the street where they have the screaming domestics.
I'm getting very excited about not hearing fifty flying f***s every morning, I can tell you.
