@Wilson – That’s a Pine tree, Wilson. Very common around these parts. They usually grow very straight and tall, and are thus often used to build the frames of houses.

Robert, I was wondering, what is the specific name for the tree? I did take botanical lesson during my college, but I cannot figure out what's the name of the tree that you're posted here! Silly me, isn't it? Love the ways you're describing about the stuffs, keep it coming and I'm sure many will love it as I did! wilsons last blog post..For The Health's Sake, You Should Stop Eating the Hot Breads Fresh Out of the Oven!

@Alex – OK; I think I can see how that would work. Hey, at least you’ve identified something important about how you tick. Gives you something upon which to work with, right?

I’m kinda the opposite – I draw energy from those I’m communicating with, be it via computer screen or in person. In person is harder for me because of the, y’know, wallflower thing – but I’m gettin’ better. Once the barriers are lowered a bit things get ‘waay easier.

@Robert
I’ve been trying to figure that out. I think it’s because it’s just me in front of a computer screen. There’s no feeding off the energy of the people before me – it’s just the screen pulling my energy into it (and my wrists getting Carpel Tunnel strain)

Wow, turn my back for just a couple hours, and THIS is what happens! A tip o’ the hat to all y’all!

@Tumblemoose – George, ya big galoot! That’s only when I’m on my horse! I’m actually only 4′-3″ tall in the flesh. But hey, you said it: pay attention to the little things. Bwa-ha-ha-ha-ha! Sorry.

@Paul – I think “aloofness” probably is a word. If not, we can make it one, can’t we? I know whereof you speak and I’ve been there, Bubba. Take that step; it’s worth it!

@Janice – Ah, exercise – I could watch it all day! Try not to kill yerself, though. My guess is they’ll probably like you just the way you are. Just sayin’.

@Ulla – Yes, I remember when we first “met”, Ulla; glad you stuck your neck out, if you get my meanin’! You’re turning into quite the creative shining star, in my opinion.

@Alex – Now that’s an interesting statement. Why do you think that is, Alex?

@Karen – What, YOU, an extrovert? I mean, who knew? Hey, you’re the extrovert I visit with when my soul is sorta creakin’ and groanin’! All it takes is one look and I say to myself, “Man, I may be a little nuts, but that lady is just plain whack!” Bwa-ha-ha-ha! (But in a, y’know, nice way.)

Robert, lol, this is a great post!!! Of course I am an off the chart extrovert (seriously, tested and I scored so high ) but I have my introverted moments and could relate. You were the one who needed the pep talk to shake hands, and I was the woman waving to the cars driving along the 405. I am so glad you stood tall and met the Mrs. (see how God works, we call that a twofer – you got better at interacting and got a great wife to boot!). I will now forever smile when I see a tall tree. Straightening my spine and going to conquer some mountains.
