It would not have had anything to do with me lasting the weekend? Dear wife said something similar last night. Guess she has her reasons for calling it her Little Minuteman Missile.

Mark doesn't seem to have any work this week, so far. Could save me some money. Just taking a day off, my friend. The trucks will still be there tomorrow. And I shall be there to build them.

I have taken about enough guff from some people here that I am about 1 second away from walking out the freaking door. Now, that may sound harsh, but I really don't need any more BS from anybody. I just had a blowup with Lori, and that is a major issue. She has been a guiding light throughout my years, and this is not a minor issue. She has drawn a line, and I am not sure which side of it I am on right now. My life has hit a divide. I cannot any longer walk the line, it seems. "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting."

I am a little late in paying my debt this week. I have been away from home tending to a sick relative who is now doing better. Mark, I see you survived another week. Good for you!

If people were taking bets on my behaviour, I would quit here and never return. also, if any one ever got within seven feet of me to taunt and lecture, I grantee there would be no forgetting any of my reactions. I have seen bulling, and some of this stuff is it! If you get to this point with me, just pull the plug. Please! Just my thoughts... ID: 1640168 ·

It was my impression that Mark was sort of enjoying the attention, but if I have misinterpreted his feelings then this thread will be swiftly closed. Celt, when you say "Come On Global Warming", I personally find that sentiment to be disgusting, but I have come to accept the fact that my participation in a large international forum comes at the price of being occasionally offended by the words and behavior of others. So after bringing up my discomfort once to you, I now just "deal with it" when you express your opinion about snow in Canada. Again, the call here is Mark's. If Mark objects I will lock the thread, ask that the whole fandango be hidden, apologize to Mark and ask for his forgiveness. ID: 1640201 ·

Personally, I think Mark is a courageous man in that with all his difficulties, he still finds it in his heart to raise donations for this project one way or another & for people to take offence at that is highly discouraging to say the least. I can only hope that I had the courage to do it. ID: 1640220 ·

I just think picking on people, and pointing out some supposed, and expected poor behaveour is just plain abuse. If I hurt people or indanger the program, you know what to do. I for one will practice what I teach! ID: 1640240 ·
