And now I’ve insulted **Idle Thoughts** , who I’ve long been proud to think of as a friend. ☹ Amongst my other faults I may be the most obnoxious poster on the entire Board. :eek: Sorry. Fair’s fair and if I can flame gentle Thoughts, so should people feel welcome to flame me. > [@I live in the US, but I don't vote. Never have, never will.

Where do you live (be as general or as specific as you like), and why did you choose this place to retire? In what way are you an idiot savant? ---

OK. Seriously now. 1. Why did you decide to retire to the jungle? 2. Which jungle? 3. What do you do? 4. Are you living isolated or in a community? 5. Where did you live before you retired to the jungle? 6. How does life in the jungle compare to pre-jungle? 7. Are you happy with your relocation decision? Why or why not? 8. Would you recommend this decision to others? 9. What qualities would a person need in order to live successfully in your jungle? I told you I had questions. Also, a really annoying ear-worm [guns n roses]“_Welcome to the jungle…_”[/gnr] ---
