I see posts on social media all time that raise my hackles a bit (not often here). My feeling is that getting involved with controversy on social media is akin to stepping in the doggy do instead of going around it.

Most of my rants on social is our state government. It is a train wreck.

I had a friend whose Amish buddy would tell them that if they ever teased him too much he would do a spinning back kick and take out their shins! Sorry, had to chuckle at the memory. To make it funnier, the friend who was threatened was about 5 foot nothing...

I was told that later after the fact from someone else. I have messages, that are long rants about my defects as a human being. Ps my mother was passing that week. Come here to de-stress not get stressed. I am not only one that got rants. I blocked him. Totally off the rails and he chased off somebody that was very talented and did absolutely NOTHING wrong.
If bashing new members is A OK, please let me know.
as did I, blocked him early on

Well now, this thread, like most threads on WB has gone on a couple different tracks. Dunt cha love WB. So fun!
My reason with Arn is I'm going to spend a week in August in NY. Go to a Mets game and a Yankees game each and do the tourist stuff around the area. He told me to be sure to let him know if I ever did.
Yeah @Mike1950 so sorry about your mom but glad she had you and Cathy for her. It's hell getting old!!
OBTW they are playing my Astros!!
I was in NY City last year and we met and he was very generous and accommodating. Going back in August and will probably reach out to him again. Sorry for what you had to go through @Mike1950 :blush-33:

Part of life. Worst part was family. End of life stuff brings out the best or worst in families. We got the latter. Mom had made Kathie and I POA and MEDICAL POA. Otherwise I would have done the Red Fox , I am having the big one. Mad nope , disappointed, very. Part of life that cannot be viewed until it happens. Sorta like losing spouse.very happy that she is at peace. 95 is a good life.

I sometimes think I'm becoming an old fart, then I remember Mike and realize I still have a long way to go before becoming an old fart! :cool:

I'll echo the old fart in appreciating those who keep this place civil, not easy in today's increasingly polarized world. My dad always said one of the most important things in life (and to enjoying life) is to take what you do and love seriously, but not to take yourself too seriously. I think somewhere along the lines our world/society has gotten that good advice ass-backwards. Thanks also to all the members here who excel at what they do and who are willing to coach and share - and who are also willing to be a bit silly and just have fun at the same time.
ā€œBecomingā€. ????

Hey Mr. old man, why are you grrring at Tony,@Tclem , when it looks like his post was directed at the proper recipient, @SENC. It's early morning, and I'm not finished with my coffee yet, plus trying to understand your response from yesterday. I need an answer in order to fulfill my day without wondering or even possibly lacquering my hand instead of the cabinets I'm trying to finish. ................ Nubs

Well then, I'm sorry for my obnoxious question. I don't remember seeing growls earlier on when @Tclem was getting beaten down by @SENC . :sofa: Could be I was concentrating on other matters. I do remember seeing a bunch of others, though. ................Nubs
That's because your getting old too :sarcastic:
