Hi guys and gals, I think I may be a little more grumpy/testy than usual. I quit smoking a little more than a month ago, I've been housebound for about a month with a foot injury and my son, who's ten, will have surgery in early June on his hip to correct a condition known as developmental dysplasia.
While not apologizing or making excuses I think the plate is a little full and sometimes the stuff drips over. I'm not known for taking guff in the first place and don't have a problem mixing it up some. Unfortunately, it would appear that I'm posting what I'm thinking and not thinking about what I'm posting,
I'll make more of an effort to ignore those posts that get my blood pressure up. thanks

Know what you mean bud. Hang tight and let the problems solve themselves. Sometimes it works and sometimes ya gotta use a little persuasion.
Smurf baseball bats come to mind. you can beat on stuff without hurting them.

If anyone can do this, it's you Greg. You must feel so much better already.
Not the grouchiness though. As they say.... this to shall pass. And I promise it does. I in fact, find life Less stressful without my ball and chain.
Can't run out, where's my lighter, can't smoke here? How much? And the list goes on. It's a good thing gmc2. Be proud!
And Congrats.

gmc2... kinda figured something was crowding your plate. Sorry to hear about troubles... with time, hopefully they'll resolve. I'll hold good thoughts in that direction... if that does any good. Scientific evidence says no, while life says "Your friend needs to know you care." - which does have a positive effect on healing. Venting helps... and telling us some things are stressing you helps us understand you and offer support. I'll skip the 'blessing'.
Turns out women have it right about communicating. I hate admitting that, though.
Take a deep breath and limp away from it.
