    Oh yeah. I am the Answer Mug Village Idiot.

    I'm not nuts.  Let's just say that.   This post was edited by WM BARR . =ABSOLUTE TRASH at June 29, 2019 11:39 AM MDT

  • In general, no, but I don't mind revealing much of that here because it's a small site and I've been here so long it's not a big deal to me anymore.

  • Revealing little details about yourself here at this small site may not be a big deal to you, but having you here at the Mug is an important detail and a very big deal to all of us.  answerMug is better because of your presence.  And just between you and me, you've always seemed like one of the sane ones.  LOL!  (of course one can ever be too sure) This post was edited by Benedict Arnold at June 29, 2019 11:53 AM MDT

    I have posted pics of myself, as in my avatar and on a few questions here, I have revealed the town I live in as well, but that's as far as I will go, no real names and no real specifics as to where in my town I live..
    If by the very slim chance I ever run into someone who recognizes me from my avatar, so be it..however I doubt anyone will search me out with what little I have revealed..

  • We are currently running the the few details you've given us through our vast database, processing it, and we will be knocking on your door soon.  LOL!

  • Wow.  That's a high bar.  I suppose since we aren't registered anywhere for gifts, that means you shall remain mostly a mystery.  LOL!  Mysteries are always intriguing to people.

    yep - straight up with the first words of introduction

    Am not interested in relationships that are not real.
    I use my ******** barometer to detect the probability of the other person's sincerity.
    I can make mistakes but mostly my intuition proves pretty accurate.

    My name is Manna Hart, born London UK 2.7.1956, raised Whale Beach, Sydney, Australia.
    Parents atheists and bohemians, both now dead of old age and complications of alcoholism.
    Father: journalist, novelist, architect, builder, inventer.
    Mother: heiress and housewife.
    sister, estranged

    I'm married to Ari Ehrlich, much involved with helping in various green campaigns trying to save the planet. Plays flute, excellent singer.

    I've been a sculptor, part-time art teacher at all levels, Arabian horse breeder and trainer, aged care worker, and back when I was a student had loads of casual part-time jobs.

    These days I mostly write and research.

    Ari and I live in a small shack on 64 acres of hilly land near Tyalgum in the Tweed Valley, far north NSW, Australia.

    Anything else you want to know, I'm willing to answer most questions.
    There's two or three that I wouldn't answer.

    Anytime you wish to offer similar info, I'd be happy to hear it. Same with any mugger.

    As you might have guessed, Australia is an easy place in which to trust most strangers -
    though of course one exercises common sense about how far to trust and with what.
    The cities are areas for greater caution, some areas much more so than others.

    I don't think it likely that any Mugger would jump on a plane to come to visit me -
    but if they did, I'd probably give most a warm welcome
    and ask if they'd like to stay a night or two in the den at the back of the garage -
    a bit primitive, but much cheaper than a hotel.

    You would be welcome, Randy.
    Even though you wouldn't like our atheism and liberal/green politics, and might not like our vegetarianism,
    Ari and I would treat you to delicious food, including sandwiches,
    and take you sightseeing in the area.
    Its nature and wilderness is spectacularly beautiful.
    There's plenty of good culture - music, poetry, arts. etc.
    Or if you like sport you'd find our football pretty tame. This post was edited by inky at July 1, 2019 1:11 PM MDT

    Was it as an armed services man?

    How did you enjoy your time there?

    What were your impressions?

      Yes, I was on active duty in the US Marine Corps, my unit was aboard US Navy ships on Western Pacific Deployments two consecutive years in a row.  We landed in places such as mainland Japan, Okinawa,  South Korea, Singapore, Hong Kong, Diego Garcia, The Philippines, Thailand, etc. I enjoyed Australia very much, the people, the weather, the sights, etc. I have only good things to say about your country, it was a great experience over all.

    The only site that has my real name is Facebook and I only friend people I know personally. 
    I do not believe I have told anything more than what state I live in....as it pertained to the question.
