ahhhh...you naughty people(s)....

LOL

I really didn't think much of myself most of my life...I was severly teased as a child, severely teased as an adult, severely teased recently...

Actually, I try to NOT go out too much to avoid the stares...but it happens...

what's different these days is that I know that there are people that care about me. They see "beyond"...

but it took a long time to get to this place...I really have my wife to thank for, first and foremost (thank you, wifey. Smooches)

and then I want to thank to all those that have been my friends all these years...been to the SOS forum for almost 9 years now...and even when Alpho and doody met me in person, they remained my friends...LMAO...

I try to NOT let being teased getting to me these days, I can't say that it doesn't bother me to some degree, but that's OK. I no longer have a stigma....

Everyday, I go to bed thinking, how lucky can a guy get, wonderful wife, wonderful friends, wonderful family...

I see those that are not able to walk (which happend to me when I was 14), I see those that are not able to see, and I think to myself, I am just so lucky...

but I need all the trials to get to this place, to appreciate...

koala's right, there is a punchinello in all of us...and those of us that can learn that we are special onto ourselves...well, I think that's how life can really begin??

to all
