       A bit more clarification on a previous comment. Hobson's choice is no choice at all. You either take what is available, or don't. The example I saw first was like choosing between using the toll bridge (which is the only one), or not using it. A choice between things that are equally negative is known as a Morton's fork. That having been said, Morton's fork is also said to be (by Google, and multiple articles describe both versions of the fork), "a type of false dilemma in which contradictory observations lead to the same conclusion." I also came up with Sophia's choice which is choosing between two things that are equally good or bad, as well as Buridan's donkey (different word, same meaning) taking so long to choose between two things of equal worth (in this case, a positive), that one has negated the value in some way. The example given was a (donkey) placed halfway between both hay and water to which said animal could decide on neither, thus resulting in both starvation and terminal dehydration (had to look up that one too)... That was a lot more than I planned on discovering when I looked into Hobson's choice.

Quick question..... how does this relate to forum members?

Between a rock and a hard place?
I've been looking back over these past few months, and I've felt off. Felt different. At the time, I wanted nothing more than to go back to the good old days.
But now? Could I just ignore all the ways I've suffered and grown? Caught hold and let go? Could I return from life, having now lived?

Perhaps you too. Though I'm a minor, and you are fully grown.

Indeed, which is why I've been ignoring the topic subject for the most part  ;D

And at least a few who aren't. But most of us are.

You are correct, but most that are tend to stay out of the cellars (as far as I can tell) so I don't haven't had a ton of interactions with them.  I actually wouldn't mind meeting you Skarzs, you remind me a LOT of another friend I have that also did construction and ALSO did blacksmithing, 'till he had a brain tumor.  (I should mention that he's recovering now though, so I don't sound morbid.)
