That is just the way I am. My sense of esteem does not rely on what anyone else thinks of me. I am past all that. If I please myself I know that at least one person(the most important one) is happy.
And frequently what I am saying is what others out there are thinking, it is just that you are not one of them!

Margaret, once again you've said it as it is, looks like we think the same things. I'm a cynical owd git, and as contarary as its possible to be, when I was in the Fire Brigade my attitude earned me a title by the officers, S.U.I.B. Scruffy Untidy, Insubordinate, Bastard.
And I don't give a dam what people think of me either.
Lurch.
S.U.I.B.
