Welcome to G.G. and Ewok
Thanks! I'm happy to be here. I recognize many of your names from WB. I joined over there about a year ago and have been mainly lurking since I often don't really have anything of value to add.
I don't get to hike nearly as much as I would like to since I'm not conveniently located near any trails at the moment and poor. I go where the Army sends my husband (minus those lovely vacations to war zones), so I've gotten to see lots of the country and hike places I never dreamed I would have the chance but it's never quite long enough for long term plans.“Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go.” - T. S. Eliot -

Glad I ran with that one. I was going to compare your sanity to your pedigree. I have been going to the SL school of posting and went with the short one instead.Non hikers are about a psi shy of a legal ball. -
Hi, I'm Another Kevin, an enginerd from upstate New York. I'm an occasional poster on WB. I used to be a regular one, but my posts seem often to disappear for some reason. I'm guessing that there's a bug in my computer, because I can't imagine why else they'd vanish like that.
Another Kevin is a screen name. I had a trail name, nigh on forty years ago, but it no longer fits me, any more than the clothing that I wore then would.
I'm a slow hiker (30 min/mile, add 40 min per 1000 feet of elevation change). But I enjoy getting out there, slow as I am.I'm not lost. I know where I am. I'm right here. -

I'm Sarcasm The Elf, though I don't know why. I basically hike whenever and wherever I can, though that's far less often than I would like. I prefer to introduce myself in person and am looking forward to next week's Harriman hike.Dogs are excellent judges of character, this fact goes a long way toward explaining why some people don't like being around them.

Will you need a translator or any other special assistance? -
My wife and I have this conversation at least twice a week:
Wife "You're a moron."
Me "I may be a moron, but I'm your moron and you love me."
Wife "Yeah, I do."

The only thing that would make me hike the AT again would be doing it with my wife.
Mostly depends on how her ankle recovers from the surgery she had late last year.
And maybe how we do on the Camino in 2015.Resident Australian, proving being a grumpy old man is not just an American trait. -

Yes. I remember R&R. It took me a while to grasp SL aka LW. I am not saying I fully understand him now. Not sure I fully understand me. I have come to the conclusion that he is a warm lovable fuzz ball. It is hard to see under the beard, but it is there. He just has strong opinions. So do I. Now I await the NY hello.Non hikers are about a psi shy of a legal ball. -

Well, are you talking along the lines of "turning the other check"? I'm not good at that. How good are you with that, yourself?
I will talk to you about responses but I won't mention offenses. I don't want to go there.
Also, you teach people how to treat you. If you walk away, the offending person learns that they can "get away" with the type of behavior towards you. You have to let a person know that you aren't cool with their behavior but do it in LOVE. I'm not good at that part... the LOVE goes out the window . I respond out of anger and hatred. I'm in control somewhat of what that looks like but I act on my feelings, at the time. Sometimes, it's not pretty.
Welcome to being human! Everyone has "buttons" that will cause bad behavior. There's a thing called passive aggression too. You don't "act out" on your feelings but you become unwilling to interact with that person at all. Any unresolved feelings/issues are a problem in relationships. You can shut a person out and refuse to respond to them. That's not good either...passive aggression. I'm not passive I'm very aggressive. :woohoo: -

I have understanding BB. I'm leaving that right there. You can't control anyone else but yourself. I'm working hard on that. I'll admit I need help with that part.
