Frank you and me are cool, the apology was unneeded and unwanted, truth be told, except for a small bit of misunderstanding, I was relieved because you had some fight (balls) in you.
To those defending, thank you. Again unneeded.
If someone says something to you or about you and it hurts...guess what you need to look deep at it, caus emore than likely that hurt is because the truth of it is kicking your ass.
I am not some sage guru. I am the first to say that. I am an old timer simply because of my join date, or because I have 5 bajillion posts after my name.
I have made mistakes, I have failed, I have suffered, I have learned, I have helped...I believe. My path is not for everyone, in fact the ONLY reason my marriage worked out is because my wife came out of her MLC enough. Why did she come out of it? I don't F-ing know. Was it because of something I did or did not do? I do not know, and it is not important to me.
This whole thing, I am grateful for, because frankly I kick ass compaired to the loser I was before this. I am the friend I would want, partner I would want if I was a woman, and the dad I still strive to be.
I have learned that I can always be better, because the day you stop trying to be better is the day you suck. It is the day you fail.
Its a choice. ; )
My time here is winding down again, not right now but soon. Capabale new guys are stepping up, keep an eye on Jimbo, and trapt and Machif he ever decides to post seriously.
Keep an ear out for the established ones as well.
We are all in this together; alone.
