associations are before you get to know us. And, gutter language, this
includes references to "a..holes", is always a turnoff to most civilized
people. My two-cents worth!"

Hi Tom,
I'll see your 2 cents and raise you a nickel! LOL
Gee, for the past few weeks I've had "You don't get no respect here until
you prove it on the salt" drummed into me and I guess I started believing it.
That was what I was referring to, not as in respect as a "person" until you
step out of line like you outlined.
Another point well taken Tom, you will never hear the "A" word dribble off
my fingertips again. Thank you.
I did put it in quotes meaning a generic word for,,,,,"someone who was
having a bad moment and took their frustrations out right then, we all do it" I
also labeled myself as 3rd "A word" on the list. It wasn't meant derogatory
toward anyone.
Gee Tom, did you happen to notice what the intention of the letter was???
Praising you guys and trying to calm down Bubba!
Whoop Glen?, 4-5 Nascar engines in a pickup??? Somebody needs to talk to
that boy. I will, I want to drive!
Soooooo, why do some people only see the bad things they want to in a letter
and pick them out and pounce on them, missing the entire meat of the issue
and steering the thread off track? I see it over and over.
Where is that coming from???
We, all need to lighten up a little!
OK, on three, shrug your shoulders up real tight up against your head and
hold it for 5 seconds, the whole time thinking the weight of the world is on
your shoulders, do it until it hurts.
Then drop your shoulders and let them hang lifelessly, think mellow thoughts
and that your arms are filled with helium and could float away. Repeat as
required.
OK, one, two, three, shrug.
