self regulation through connections.

This is no longer a thing as they have done a good job of getting men out of the home and labeling us all as dangerous toxic beings if we exhibit any signs of our natural state.

I'm glad to see you came out the other side, and even the crappy scars, made you the man you are now.

Thank you. In some ways my son was a beneficiary of this, although I can still see some of my bad traits I passed onto him. But I made sure he always was protected, and in many ways the sins of the father did not pass onto the son.

I'm trying to power up, so not upvoting today, sorry...

I am sorry we even feel this way. While I won't pretend monetary upvotes aren't some super awesome shit, how horrible that not having a value to spare at the moment either keeps us from posting on a thread (what I do) or forces us to apologize if we are compelled to weigh in without a vote. You feel free to weigh in whether you have power or not. Whatever you have, even if it is none at all is exactly the right amount.
