What's Important

[bubb2]

For 48 hours, I have been so up set about what I have been seeing going on Sailnet. Yes, It had been going on longer than the last 48 hours, but I have really stated to take note of it. The name calling, the I going to report this or that to the Mods. It is the same guys aways stirring the pot. The picking every post apart line by line to tell the poster what he said. You know who you are!! The wasted energy, that could be put to better use. I see how you use your words and how you can use the computer, you are smart people. Why can't you see this for yourself.

I don't know if any of you have noticed but I have been spending allot of time on the computer during the days. The reason is I have not worked sense the end of Oct. It is not because of the economy!

I have been having medical problems. It looks like I had a silent heart attack some time this summer when I was taking care of Courtney. Today I have had 2 CAT scans. Blood draw, ECG,X-rays to confirm what the Dr's have been thinking and testing for, for 2 months. I have the Start of Congestive Heart Failure. I am just in my mid 50's. I really didn't need to start this year off like this, because my last year was not so great.

It's OK though, you guys go ahead and fight among yourselves. Knock yourselves out. Name call. Troll for each other,and get your hits in where you can. It just sport! Have at it !!! Let the Games begin!!!!

I am sorry that I won't be participating, I literally don't have the time nor the energy. And neither should you!!!!!

Damn Mike. Take care of yourself.

All the best to you Mike. Will we see you on Monday?

Bubb - I'm sorry. Really. I'm sure I'm one of the guys you're talking about. I get ticked with stuff going on around here just like anyone. And I don't pull punches. There are some people I don't mind ticking off - and some I honestly DON'T want to tick off. You're in the latter camp.

I'll chill out as best I can. I promise. Hang in there, Bubb. You deserve some peace and quiet.

Damn..Mike...that is a surprize I wasn't expecting, really.

I hope you get better soon, and for now:

No drinking
No smoking
No 'rubbing the banana", I know, it's hard fopr you to quit
No reading Smacky's posts
No farting under the bed sheets

No Spicy food
No playing with gerbils
No sailing in over 15 kinots
No eating
no pooping
no breathing
No...

Damn. When it rains, it pours. Sorry to hear that Mike. See you in a week.

[Joel73]

Whoa.

The amount of wasted energy here amazes me too Mike... life is too short for that kind of stuff. What's important to me is family and friends. Take care of you and yours. And like Alex says "No sailing in over 15 kinots" ...whatever a "Kinot" is.

If the Lord doesn't give us more than we can handle, you and your family must be some tough folk. Best wishes.

Mike,
you sorry SOB, welcome to the "club".

I'll second most of the don't s that Alex mentioned, but...

No drinking... have a glass of wine now and then.
No smoking... thats a given, but wha the hell, it ain't kilt me yet

No 'rubbing the banana", I know, it's hard fopr you to quit
Pffft, my banana is finely rubbed. or is that rubbed finely, or is that hand rubbed, oh, screw it.

No reading Smacky's posts
I'll second that.

No farting under the bed sheets... or your banana will be unrubbed.

No watching beavis and Butthead... never got into them, more of a pinky and the brain guy.

No Spicy food... yea, that...never did much for me either

No playing with gerbils... huh? thats gotta be a european thing.

No sailing in over 15 kinots,... I wish

No eating... screw that, I'm goin' fat dumb and happy

no pooping... refer to above

no breathing... I tried that

No...

Mike, all things considered, You can look at it this way. You're vertical, I hear its a hellua lot better than the alternative.

What are they going to do? Angioplasty? Plavix, Lipitor, the real meal deal of about 9 different pills?

take care, you CAN live thru it.
Phhft, heart attack, schmart attack, you're tougher than that.
