Got too good at it, actually, because a few times my bosses made me put on a suit and go downtown to explain shit to the bigwigs. I hated that so I always insisted upon, and got, a driver for those occasions.

Doug if you read through this thread, the general message is that no one really cares what went down. At least that is my perception.

I never allow anyone on the internet to crap on my days, no one is that important.

I try to never seriously criticize anyone, I may be snarky with a post or two, but I do not wage battle, I try to never be malacious.

Life is tough on many days, we all need this site to help us separate from the tough crap in life, hopefully many find their solace and escape here.

With that said, I learned early this AM a dood, Kevin--damn good dood, I have golfed with the past five years, usually once or twice a month, passed yesterday, really sucks, I hurt, very rarely do I hurt, I will be on here today to help me.

Life is serious, this forum should not be, it should be our protection from life's storms.

I grealty appreciate you doods, well most of you doods!!

In general, people reading others' writing interpret it one or two tones worse than whatever is written. Its why email, text and forums can cause trouble without anyone intending it.

go for a boat ride, a walk, a cruise in the sports car, whatever when words ail you.

Well except for the other people who are lurking and waiting to see the messages. Why did you go out of your way to claim he was lying about his illness?
