Sorry Mike, I don't drink, the rest pretty much still happens on a
regular basis. But, believe it or not, I'm seldom "pissed off". There've
been some bad things in my life that have pissed me off. Reading an
email isn't really one of them.
I'm really not sure who you're talking about on the "joke" part though?
Benjamin's statement? About not wanting to ride on a plane with Ed or I?
I didn't see it as me (or Ed) being the butt of a joke. What was the
joke part? It was just another opportunity for him to take a dig at
someone he doesn't like, and that can only be because he doesn't care
for my beliefs. He might make the argument that Ed offended him with the
"traveller" label, but I've offered no such label.
And nah, I don't think there's much on this list subject to change, but
you know, if/when I see something that might be subject to change, I
won't try to do it by personal attacks; however, once someone forces the
door open, I'll play along.
No matter the interpretation though, I'm not "pissed". There's really
very little in today's world that truly pisses me off. Once a person's
gone through some real issues, it tends to put silliness like "humping
dogs", and the other dogs that call 'em on it (female dogs included), in
their proper perspective.
Sorry if you took it as me being "pissed". If it would help, I'll try to
put an occasional smiley face.
You think I'm being facetious, but my wife will tell you, she frequently
asks me "why are you smiling" as I'm reading the stuff on here.
