What is the significance of your username?

Yes, you'll find that here I think. This is a warm, tight knit community. I am on TC too, but I seldom go there. Like any family, we have our spates but it's a great place. Welcome!

So why did you "retire" from TC? What brought you here? Just curious!

Tis Wishbone!

My pleasure. I have noticed what you have noticed on occasion.

Oh nice! I am not a big fan of pfizer. Trying to get on with Boehringer-Ingelheim who took over our plant. Pfizer is just using us for the Terms of Service Agreement (The acquired Wyeth, which I was a part of as a division called Fort Dodge Animal Health, then Pfizer sold our plant to Boehringer-Ingelheim afterwards)

Yea.... What a cluster..

No it is just a hobby, but I have a VERY logical/philosophical mind. I am very mathematical too although my abilities have atrophied. I am looking to get back into the saddle. My profession is in IT, I work for Pfizer. (for the moment)

Ahh yes, that certainly looks familiar! I prefer the baby blue.

I agree. Especially on the ten steps behind!

I also drive a manual car. I am sure you will do fine with learning. It is an amazing experience for sure.

Oh come one, engage your Se a little!

My roomie's sportster 883 low rider would be perfect for you then. Not sure what models would be equivilant from other companies.

I just got my bike because it was cheap, I like cruisers more too. (Most of the time)

Thanks for your elaboration btw.

I was doing much better at experiencing life a few months ago. Just a giant ball of stress anymore it seems like!

Here: "Humility should be a mark of mental health, no? Compulsive humility might be martyrdom in disguise, which is painfully paradoxical.

Let the existential knots proceed."

Oh you posted the response on your own profile, I do that all the time! I don't understand what existential knot means?

As for the motorcycle, my legs aren't the longest but I had a tough time planting both feet down solidly. That model of Yamaha is cheap so the rear spring can't be adjusted to lower it. However, I shaved the seat which helped considerably.

One of my old friends' had a petite wife who rode a katana, she seemed to like that pretty well. As long as the rear spring is adjustable you should be able to reach. Just make sure to be hyper-aware when you are riding. No getting lost in your mind!

Internet friendship? Ok. If you insist.

Humility should be a mark of mental health, no? Compulsive humility might be martyrdom in disguise, which is painfully paradoxical.

Let the existential knots proceed.

Oh but the conversations we could have if we could hold a conversation!

Inferiority complex or a healthy humbleness?

"Fight or Flight?" in Arabic.

I am attempting to learn the language but I tend to pull myself in too many directions in my intellectual pursuits.

Are you sure you know what you are agreeing to? My sultanic proclivities can be dangerous.

Welcome.
