I have (had 
) dating issues because of creeping out any girl I was interested in and being awkward in any social situation. Trust me, after the fact I can realize that many times I came off as the guy you guys are describing.
Re: word vomit or verbal diarrhea, I call it verbal pińata. You break the seal, the words have to come out. It’s much like… was it Luis? in Ant-Man described as “you put the coin in the jukebox, you gotta let the song play”.

It got into the single digits out here, but I slept like a baby.
I usually sleep better without a tent, assuming no bugs.

Just that little. You can see it in the Spanish “campo” and other Romance languages. A military encampment is a base in the field. So… that was the argument I was making that a rural hotel counts.
Ask me about “strand” when I’m back home with a keyboard though…

IKR. When I spent some time in Cortez after a tour I constantly got carded at age 35. One senior working at a grocery store, when she looked at my ID, said “Oh my. You’re the same age as my daughter.”

Our local grocery store has a 100% proofing policy. So, I always have my ID out when there's beer in the cart. The last trip was different though. They wanted Mrs. rjones28's ID too -- that's new. She didn't have it, but the kid let us slide.

In Texas they damn near don’t care. They used to ask me if I was 21, and that worked for them because the sting operation kids can’t lie about their age. And even so they haven’t even asked since I was 34 or so. And I don’t look especially old.

My daughter called me last night. She was just hired as a teacher. Something she has been wanting since high school. Preschool which is "her dream". I'm damn proud of that girl o mine. For having 2 fairly troubled parents she turned out quite well.

We had a discussion like that this morning. Our daughter is being courted by several firms, and has multiple offers on the table. I told the wife that I never had that type of action/opportunity. She laughed and said that she hadn't either.
It's good to see your kids succeed.
