I've posted this one on all the forums for alternative living. Just wondered what the reaction from your family and friends has been for especially if like me some of your family is quite rigid and conservative. In my case it was the final nail in the coffin for some of them, what after having 2 children out of wedlock, multiple tattoos and body piercing and going nude and barefoot at any opportunity. Just as well that for all their shortcomings, God fearing Irish catholics tend to stop short of honour killings!!! As for my friends, they have long since accepted what they see as my unconventional ways,none of them have an issue with me being a bit different. Just as well really otherwise they wouldn't be friends!
I don't think that my family 'gets' it. They accept it sure but they don't seem to know what to make of what I say or do some times. As for my friends; they don't really care, but in a good way.
