Do you put lots of research into understanding the mundane, the bizarre, and the not-necessarily-need-to-know things that come up in your life?

I don't understand how anyone could not do this. I'm a question everything kind of guy. It started long before the PTSD.

I suspect it started when I was five or six. I discovered adults were lying to me. They said Santa Claus lived at the north pole. I knew the north pole was well above the tree line yet somehow all the pictures of his workshop had trees in them. And then there was the whole reindeer vs caribou fiasco :D

@Deadman love this - this year both the tooth fairy and santa claus became myths - my financial situation prevented any gift giving of the usual overthetop excessive kind and I was feeling quite guilty about not fullfilling those childish fantasies of keeping the imaginary alive in my ten year old. All Guilt gone now - so happy that the lies can stop and the promised pet christmas rabbits may actually be coming for free soon from the agricultural college and well the tooth fairy - I dream to take me and the youngest to the dentist - but for now we are toothpick addicts - bah humbug. I think you must have been a pretty switched on kid!!
