I have been quite an angry guy lately. Not to make excuses, but there are circumstances. A recent MRI shows five disks bulging from three to six mm and the pathway for the spinal cord is ,according to the dr,alarmingly constricted. Sleeping in my chair most nights, because the bed hurts,, Aaand,, I might have a drink or two..

So, I apologize for being a jakkass and I'm gonna try to either not post or at least not allow my frustration to get out in front of my ability to have a measured conversation.
Specifically, I apologize to E, I said things I am ashamed of.
And Bot,not so much because I said things About you, but I have failed to keep in mind that, while you're a guy I Would really like to see come to some understandings that I'm sure just won't happen, I need to hold to the fact that you are here, trying to keep it from going off the rails. I need to respect that more.
To the members who probably have been looking at my recent behavior and wonder just exactly what the heck is going on,, I apologize for any discomfort I may have caused.

Now, when the bell rings, remember to protect yourself at all times.

Thanks, Row,as much as we don't share understanding and ideology, I'd buy you a beer. The next five are on you.
Might even help you change a flat.. And, for the folks who are not up to speed, helping someone change a flat is a big deal.
I'm trying to come to grips with this stage of life. It's Not something I ever really expected, in spite of the obvious facts. The paths I chose, the work I did and the Stewpid ways I engaged in what was comically considered fun,mehh,, I'm not in a place a reasonable person would be shocked by. Not everyone can say they totalled four bikes and almost, kinda sorta walked away.  It's been a helluva journey. I'm sorry for being a jakkass. I'll try harder to appreciate and respect what you do. It's so difficult to keep your role as moderator separate from Forum Participant. I've allowed it to get personal. I'm gonna work on that. Feel free to drop a line and remind me if I start to disappoint myself.

The first one did not even hurt.
The second one did.. Dammitall..
I've lived with a clutch in my guts the last Coupla days. As much as it sucks to admit being wrong, it doesn't sukk as much as trying to pretend otherwise.
I hope others can understand and appreciate what I'm saying.
Snot easy to own that kinda crap. But as embarrassing as it is, it's actually a more comfortable feeling. I had no idea how I was going to feel. Thanks for accepting my apologies.
Now, whernafukk is E?
In the FWIW department,, yeah,, I'm frikkin LIT..

If I do something uncool, don't be alarmed. I'm sure I'll feel bad about it later..

Dammit that’s funny Eegore. Jog has had me laughing into my breakfast plate a few times with his occasional one liners but that’s a good one.

If I could get philosophical for a moment, let’s face it, there’s a little bit of respect between the regulars on here despite the fact that I hate half of you with the power of 10,000 suns.

Thank you for the admission Jog and take care of yourself as best you can, These bodies are like an old bike, not wine or a good whiskey. They do not get better with age.
