I can even be an asshole at times (so says my hubby).

My main trait would be generous. I do without to provide for others. I have always been that way. It is who I am.

kind/nice/humble (and humorous - irreverently/off-beat) - is the intended hope....the one thing I have trouble abiding is arrogance/boastfulness - something I hope I succeed in keeping in check (and with help from my wife, who is better than me in most attributes).

I can't tell you how many times I've looked at those tomato pics and said, damn, I wish that guy was my neighbor...one of those neighbors who comes over with a paper bag of 'produce' every so often!!

I do know that some really amazing people call me a friend. Then again, some of my friends are total nutballs, so their opinion may be less than accurate.

I know some other people that would cross the street if they saw me headed their way. It's a good choice.

Not gonna please everyone. I do what I can to be a decent human.

...that I have a reputation, at least among my coworkers, as being an honest person.
It was a pleasure to find out.

How come that's not on your poll?

I'd like to be liked,

thought of as smart (which I am)

and kind (which I am)

but the final analysis of living over six decades

I don't give a shit what people think of me

I'll just be as I am.

I like me.
