Ah, how about wrong? I cannot see any sort of occasion that could excuse anyone of a "rag" on another. Sounds a lot like "Nag". That's my perception. > Next thing you know some folks will be putting up > slide shows of their vacations. And? > So, I'm offering some folks their own mailing list. Well, I for one don't want it. Is there no joy, fun or the juice of life and being alive in you? Your life must be free from fun, pretty damn miserable and I feel for ya and those around ya. But, I don't want to like ya. Take that up with your Creator... that someone has been you in the past, doesn't want to be you in the present and had to work some to get clued in. Life is good ...all the time. Inmates chant that to open services, in one huge basso voice. That puts things into their true perspectives. Even when it all goes completely in the bucket. It's merely a choice, to be miserable or to grab some fun and joy in the middle of all the crap and go with it for the sake of those you claim to love, if not just for yourself. I screwed the pooch in like fashion and I can tell you, it wasn't worth it. Not one darned bit, over a bunch of "shoulds" and expectations of others. I hope for your sake that you chose the latter as tomorrow is not promised. Suppose this rant was the last thing you did. Would you be proud? Would it have been worth it? I don't think so. How about we both loosen up and agree that there is middle ground to both our behaviors and let it go like that? I'll behave... some.
