Hello! I am AbleSentinel. I have been here a couple days but I guess it's not to late to post here in the Welcome Center. Especially after my rather embarrassing post asking about this forum. I was born in the same small town that I currently live in here in the Mid-West, U.S.A. I was raised in the city of Shreveport, Louisiana. I am Native American (Osage Indian). I work overnights at the infamous Wal-Mart, stocking shelves. I was a meat cutter for the last seven years and even became market manager until the store closed it's doors last year. I play the on-line game Urban Dead and love to blog on yahoo 360. I am single, 32 years old and have no children. I have a large Pit Bull, white with fawn markings, 110 lbs and a 28" neck. He is my pride and joy.

Other than that, the only thing you might want to know is my medical history. I have a hyperactive thyroid which affects my metabolism. My body burns calories like crazy and I have a special diet that helps (because of the processes involved it is considered a rare type of diabetes and certain foods affect me differently). I only mention this because it affects my whole body as well. It affects my nervous system (makes me jumpy) and of course my mind.

At times I can be like someone with ADHD or at my worst, psychotic. Basically my mind races just as fast as my body. Sometimes I can't even keep up. The bad thing is, I can't speak as fast as my mind moves let alone type. Sometimes I may have one simple point to make and my mind just gets carried away. Therefore a lot of times people misunderstand my intentions. I can expect this to happen here many times. It already has at least twice. (My second day here and have a post already deleted) I have been on many sites and forums and I come to know the moderators pretty good because of this. But I treat every one with respect and mind my manners. Most people understand and hopefully get to tolerate me at the least if not actually liking me.

I can tell that I have done it again. I only meant to say hi but it appears this is getting on rather long. So anyway, I like this site and hello. I look forward to seeing everyone on the threads and of course in the games. (I love the games)

A belated welcome.

Welcome, ablesentinel! We've kinda met in the Chain Games already . Nice to meet you officially!

Hello and welcome ablesentinel !

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. Yes, I've met two of you in the chain games. Say, who wants to start a new round of Twenty Questions on there?

A belated welcome from me too.

Hello, ablesentinel. [I had to re -read your post to find the answer to my question] We have many Osage around this part of the country, - didn't realise they extended down below us into Louisiana. I am familiar with the area around Shreveport and Bossier City, since I went to school in East Texas.

Welcome.

Hi welcome from me too.

Hello!

More like Tyler... Longview was the place to go for a beer run or to eat at Johnny Cace's.

Thank you Engadine. It's nice to know someone will understand if I seem a little off on occasion.

And ktstew, I've been to Tyler more than once. You are nicely situated it seems as far as location goes. Convenience of a small town with nice huge cities within driving distance. And good fishing nearby as well.

Welcome to the forums, ablesentinel! We're glad you've come to join us!

Sure - every third vehicle on the road in east Texas is a guy in a big dually pickup hauling a bass boat headed for Lake Palestine.

Welcome to the forums from England!

Ablesentinal, hello. We have spoken on a sport thread. If I seem cynical, ignore it, it is a curse of mine (20 + years as a soldier didn't help too much in that respect). In company it is sometimes considered amusing but, it can seem very different in the written word. Like you, I have been tardy in approaching this board. Well done Chumley, I still cannot introduce myself properly.

Many wonderful friends here. And from all over as well. Thank you all for exchanging greetings with me. I look forward to having a great time here with you all.

Hello ablesentinel, being interested in people I always like to read as much as possible in the introduction, each person is unique and many details are fascinating. Welcome to the family

Thank you. I agree with you. I see many posts here that merely say hello, without providing a clue as to who they are. Each person is indeed unique and worthy of peer review. That is exactly why I like this site.

By posting on several topics, I can learn from and about the more regular users. In exchange, I provide insight into the madness I consider my life. Together we become human and somehow more alive.
