An apology

Don't sweat the small stuff. If some one was offended by you having a difference of opinion its their problem. They can chose to be upset about it or accept it. Be a pretty boring world if everyone agreed with me. I respect those who voice their opinion even if I disagree. I am very conservative and libertarian, my lady is very liberal. Hey, I still love her.

Right now, it sounds like you have enough concerns without worrying about some hard heads feelings (me included). The post you made shows you are a stand up caring guy. I am sure you did the world far far more good than any harm.
 
Offended? Tell you what. If anyone around here's been upset by anything you've said, they have lots bigger problems than stuff said on an Internet forum.

Your comments, jokes, and cartoons and stuff are like a breath of fresh air in a lot of threads that, frankly, stink to high heaven.

Your personal notes to me and photos you've sent me have brought smiles to my face and tears to my eyes...a strange combination, like seeing the sun shining brightly in the middle of a rain storm. I look at those photos on a daily basis.

Funny thing, too. We've never met, but you've had me figured out from the git-go.

Offended? The hell are you talkin' about?

Since I don't remember any offenses, you must not have committed any.

Last year, I had my first ambulance ride when I collapsed at work. Got to the hospital and they asked if I wanted a priest=didn't think anything of it (it was acute cellulitis). Six months ago, I couldn't breathe and got my second ambulance ride. This time it was congestive heart failure. My Dr says not to worry==it was a medication slip-up on my part (a one-time event, hopefully). Being a biologist, I know the stats. Knowing each morning might be your last changes your perspective. Sounds like it doesn't compare with your situation but..........if you need or want to talk, shoot me a PM.

Good luck!
 
You've also never offended me. I guess some of us are, however, in what can now be called "The Egg Timer Generation"

I think I may have offended some but probably only the Mods when I got dinged a couple times. I have since learned my lesson and encourage all those on the forum to read the rules first before posting. I would have learned a lot if I had done so.

Bottom line, be considerate of others, be polite and READ THE RULES.
 
Show me someone in the Lounge who has never offended anyone and I'll show you somebody with no more than three posts. If that. I'm quite sure I have.

As for that egg timer, almost nine years ago I was told I had about two years to live. I'm still here, which infuriates some people I know and delights some as well.

You've made your apologies as you felt you should do, whether they were perceived by folks here as needed or not. It was honorable. Now onward and upward, and take the dirt road at the big sycamore.
 
Have'nt been here long enough to read many of Your posts, but really enjoyed those I did. From all the replies here it seems You offended just about everyone, except Me. Change that timer from hard boiled to ROCK. Good Luck.
 
WOAH NELLIE! I know a few things get past me now and then and I haven't been able to keep up with just every post but to me you are one of the friendliest, most easy going people in here and that's sayin' something because there are a LOT of friendly easy going people in here. You also have one of the best sense of humor (based on all jokes and cartoons you post).

I think you should lighten up on yourself my friend. In modern day vernacular you are one cool dude, Dude. :)

I think that all senior men should be allowed some slack. Chemical changes in the brain can make us a little grumpy and short tempered. I know my sparkling personality has slipped a bit over the last few years. We are all human and there has only been one perfect person in this world and he was nailed to a cross.

I try to be at peace with who/what I am these days and try to accept all the changes comin' at me (glasses, hearing aids, false teeth, the requirement for various prescriptions and surgeries, etc, etc, etc) with grace and forbearance. On the positive side. I haven't spent a red cent on ANY hair care products... :D

Onward and upward...Life Is Good.

I have offended some forum members.

With the doctors now measuring my lifespan with an egg timer, I cannot shake this coil with the guilt of having done so.

I could blame it on bouts of melancholy (how ya like that word Zag) but that would be cowardly and self-serving.

It is all on me and I should know better. I have been working with a psychologist and I am starting to see with different eyes.

So, I beg their forgiveness and accept my culpability.

I miss this place.

Baby steps......Baby steps.

Rusty, the only thing of mine you ever hurt was my head--because of all the laughter you created.:p:p:p:rolleyes::cool:
 
Rusty, I have no idea what you are apologizing for, or to whom.

However, I have read all the posts in this thread up to this point, and see that no one has come right out and accepted your apology.
Soooo, in the interest of easing your mind and hopefully helping you to feel better.....I formally accept your apology for whatever it is you are apologizing for. :)

Keep on keeping on buddy.

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot? Rusty, I've never seen a trace of anything you've posted that might offend anybody - and certainly not me.

Here's hoping you hang around for a long time, pleasing your friends (like those here) and confounding anyone you might have displeased from time to time (haven't we all).

ALWAYS state your opinions freely within the bounds of the forum rules here. The only way not to offend someone is to not post at all. My wife and I have been happily married for nearly 55 years. She's a liberal, and I'm a conservative. During any election year, we offend each other almost daily - but we still love each other immensely.

Don't sweat the small stuff. Keep on truckin'. You are appreciated.

All the best,
John
