Examples of perspectives, compromises, mellowings, and other life arrangements and attitudes that you currently have where it took you a long time to find out, realize, accept, or arrive at, please.
“I used to be Almighty. You know, Creator-of-the-Universe type guy. But it got tedious watching every little sparrow fall and getting blamed for plagues and earthquakes and chilblains and all kind stuff I had nuthin’ to do with. So I incarnated myself as a human chess player. Not a great one, mind you, just a duffer. Didn’t want to attract attention. Just thought I’d drop by the forums every now and then, see what humans are up to this millennium. Pretty disappointing lot, I must say. well, time for me to ascend (again). See y’all in another millennium or so. Bye, And don’t drink the cool/aid.”

I have a condition called Raynauds that affects the flow of blood through blood vessels. (Mostly in fingers, toes and ears). - There are worse conditions out there, but it often leaves my hands and ears riddled with chilblains. For many people its the cold that triggers the problem, but for me it's going from the cold into a hot environment.
A pal of mine has that. Its the cold that triggers it with him. His hands swell up quite badly.

I think it's quite a common condition with varying degrees of severity. It's a sudden change in temperature I struggle with.

You are being untruthful about my threads But you do sound like you are describing almost every single one of Suzianne's posts.

Another example? Ok:

'The pigs have moved into the farmhouse.'

Wasn't that a thread born out of a grudge?

I must have missed it. What weird things does it do to your ears and fingers? Easy access to the fridge makes you sound like you are always snacking. πŸ™‚

That must make life quite difficult for you at times. We never know what someone is going through on a daily basis do we.

No. It was supposed to be about things like the UK's Labour Party after 1997 and activists getting absorbed - as consultants - into the corporations they were once critical of. Stuff like that. But it was a thread that didn't amount to much.

If you call yourself a duffer, I don't know what that would make the rest of us rated lower than yourself. πŸ™

You have a very good attitude, but as you get older it most likely will not get easier for you.
