I’m beginning to feel a bit self conscious. I don’t mean to come off as a know it all about life. Thing is I became a high school teacher later in life, a second career of sorts. As a result I was always the old man at school and being a second career I had some real life experiences that many educators don’t ever experience. Therefore I was frequently consulted, especially by students, about my outside of school life experiences.
The end result being that this old man was often asked for my life lessons and advice. I guess it just became a second nature habit of sorts to share my ideas and opinions.
Point being it’s just who I have become. If I ever overstep my bounds anyone should feel free to tell me to back off. I won’t be offended, i have thick skin.
Just posting this causes me to reflect upon a time or two that someone has strongly expressed a dislike for my ultra conservative old school views.

I gave ya some ribbing for "potentially" influencing Mrs. Emmi...but it's only because I'm slightly envious of what She and @KnownAsHerbert share together.
My Wife and I share in our own way and it's great, I am trying to find the stoicism that Herbi is able to exhibit.
