Morning Pops, morning friends, and good morning to all you wonderful Zoners out there.

I am going to have to take another break from the Zone, or at least drastically reduce my time here. It’s becoming an addiction again, and I’m seeing myself turn into a poster that I don’t want to be.

I’ll still check in here with you guys, tho.

Everyone have a safe and blessed day, today

I do the same thing occasionally. When I feel myself getting nasty and losing patience, I'll take a day or two off. That's all it takes for me. One of the things that helped me more than anything was when I made myself this rule: If I feel myself getting frustrated in a thread, or if I feel there's nothing left to say in that thread, I stop clicking on it. Since I made that rule for myself, I've become a much happier poster.

A good example is the RB thread. I just quit going to it.

That saddens me but I do understand because this place can get to you and especially when you are feeling in a funk already.

But you can do what I do, I really only spend any appreciable amount of time with the posters I like and if someone pisses me off or makes an unwarranted comment bordering on personal, I just back out and move onto where I will feel more comfortable and welcome.

Trouty, I didn't come here looking to talk about football or the Cowboys or Booger or Garrett, I came to meet some new friends, which you have done an excellent job of and are letting a few spoil that for you. I came to meet posters and found people. Hey, you are needed here. You do what you want but I'll be damned if I'd let others ruin my time here. I can put up with the aholes to be with the ones I like.

This, Trouty.

I used to let posters get to me, but now I'm like Ol' CC here, just ignore and move on. Realize you're simply not going to win w/ some posters. If you think you can, go try and have a conversation w/ Pappydog!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Morning Pops and people. Hope the weekend was great. Many chores to do and calls to make tomorrow. PT Tues, Wed, and Fri at noon. VA early in AM. Going to pick up the sports fisher and charge the batteries and check the fluids so lots to do. Gotta finish one outside door and hang another although I'll have to order it as its fiberglass. Then start on the garage. Letting help do the cleaning and windows/sills. Then some yard work and packing up.

Morning, Pops. Morning, everybody. I played golf yesterday and scored an eagle (2 under par) on the par 5 5th hole. I think that's only the 2nd one I've ever got. The hole-in-one still eludes me, however.

You're going to be a busy man, Jobbs.

Make this the best day you possibly can, folks.

I was a golf orphan so I pretty much shunned the game but on the other side of that my Dad was an excellent golfer with a scratch handicap for 25 years and 10 documented hole in one's, his last one at the age of 80. I have the list that my Mom gave me and one of this was where I live now, #17 at Ram Rock in Horseshoe Bay. I drove out there and stood on that tee box and thought to myself 'so this was what was so much more important than my childhood'?

Happy Monday Pops and y'all and I do realize that is an oxymoron for some, as it used to be for me. But before you know it, Tuesday will be gone because Lynyrd Skynyrd said so and it will be Hump Day, a day I will celebrate with you.

I am celebrating this rain that we're getting and I hope you're getting some if you've been in these drought conditions as we have been.

Right now my goal is to get down from 18.2 to 15. I'm way to inconsistent, especially with my irons. I'm 73 yrs. old right now so it could happen.

R U kidding, make me mad? Land o Goshen, child. You know me by now, darlin, it's all in fun to me. I was actually flattered that you assumed I was the stoner and glad I wasn't the truck driver.:muttley: (That rascal, Runny, will be along any minute now)

Afternoon Pops. Afternoon fellas and good afternoon to any who may drop in later.

Got some bad news today. One of my very good friend's Wife lost her battle with Cancer this morning. I feel very badly for him. I know he knows and appreciates that she is out of pain but still, it's a hard thing. Value the time everybody. You just don't know.

OK, enough said. Hope everybody is doing well today.

Jobs, Leon, dbrp, Xelda, zrin, Trouty, ksk, RGV and Coach, I hope all of you are doing well. Have a great week everyone!

Peace to all....

ABQ, sorry for your friend's loss as I lost that battle over 7 years ago and it still hurts. I was offered some very good advice that I did not take and wish I had, grief counseling. Whether individual or group it is beneficial because at a time like that we think we are stronger, we can handle it by ourselves. Others feel for us but they do not really know the pain as others going through it at that time do.

I had it for free, all I had to do was show up but I told myself 'who in the hell wants to be around other people going through this? How is that going to help me cope and get through this'? Just as I didn't share with my fellow forum members when I was going through my own version of hell, I pulled within and went to a very dark place instead.

My best friend in PA wife's cancer that they thought they'd beaten has shown up in other part's of her body. That damned disease is the real monster as it toys with us.
