I was not reading BoroVENT for quite some time due to lack of time and something else which prioritized my time. Sadly, someone mentioned to me that there was a thread on BV which I had addressed elsewhere so I came to read and to comment. Bite my fricking tongue and break my fingers. Hell, shoot me for having an opinion. My mother was taken by ambulance to the ER on 1/15 and was admitted to the hospital. She was discharged on 1/20. On 1/29 she was again taken to the ER and admitted to CCU. She spent several days in CCU and then was moved to another unit. By 2/8 she was back in CCU. Her doctor told me that at 10AM on 2/8 he expected her to die; so did I. After several days and great treatment she was moved out of CCU again. Unfortunately, several problems led to her being sent to rehab and she'll be there for several weeks. At nearly 87 years of age I'm damned lucky to have her. On the other hand, if she had passed I'd probably be gone by now too. Then this mess would never have happened. I tell you this only because I've been distracted and distraught. The situation which brought me back to BV has also compelled me to throw in the towel and say nuts to BV. It's not as if I have more than 3-4 friends still on BV anyway. The former OO is correct about FB in many regards. However, the advantage to FB is that you can unfriend and block asses from your wall. With BV you are at their mercy. FB also has some great games. So long, farewell and all of that BS. And Getysbg, I'm very sorry that I dissed Remembrance Day several years ago. You had invited me to have dinner with you, your wife and a group of friends during the celebrations. After that massive blunder on my part your attitude toward me changed and I do understand. Sadly, I was annoyed with someone when I said that and I didn't mean it but the damage was done. I'll always remember - fondly - that you and your lovely wife were the first BVer's I met at Tommie's. SC, if you read this, there's no need to comment. The end. HB - No need to apologize. No offense was given and none taken. On the current issue, we just choose to disagree - friends do that - all the time. It's the normal course of the exchange of ideas. If we all agreed on the same things it would get very dull. On another note, I wish your mom a speedy recovery. Having a 95 M-i-L, I understand what you are going through. John

HB, Funny you posted this just now. I saw that things were getting a bit out of line on another Topic. I had just finished posting this:
You only have a "towel to throw in" because you do battle in the ring. I know it is tiring to debate issues, and you've been there before.
You know my policy, and I hope to see you back in the future - or even tomorrow!
I hope your Mom recovers well. If you need anything, just let me know.
Gene

Just so ya know I wasn't speaking about YOU when whom ever told you I had posted about YOU, YOU weren't the only person from BV who commented else where. Have fun with your annual someone disagreed with me towel throwing in party. See you in a week.

HB, hope your mom feels better soon.
Now, why not take your own advice to the mother of this child and deal with your situation privately. No need to publish it on this site. I have absolutely no idea what the deal is with your leaving BV, but, just do it. You don't need to make it a public issue.

Spellchecker, I am back in less than a week. I reached out to Dave Fritz and I'm glad that I did. I would be proud to call him a friend. I took the time to learn a few things about him and I respect him as a human being. Your opinion of Dave and me is of no consequence. I'm sorry that I took anything you said seriously.
Dexter, if you have absolutely no idea no idea what the deal was with my leaving BV why did you feel the need to comment? You could simply have thought to yourself "the crazy bitch is flipping out again" and kept quiet.

It's too bad he had a lapse and couldn't have the same respect for the child. Nobody is probably interested in anything more than the facts. Being a nice guy sometimes doesn't get you mulligans for the times you're not a nice guy. See you again the next time you post. And the 300 after that.

HB - While the advise I gave still stands, I re-read my post and it sounded way meaner than it was meant to sound. I apologize for the apparent nasty tone.

Probably not 300 more times though. He didn't have to answer me but he did respond. He didn't make any excuses for what he did. He knows that this won't go away soon and he has to live with that. There are facts which have been gone over way too many times. We can all agree to disagree about this and many other subjects. I've made plenty of blunders - many of them here - but I'm not a bad person. I make bad decisions and I pay for them. That's life. Passion about a subject doesn't give me the right to judge others. I was wrong.

Honey Badger, check your private messages. Thank you Mr. Blonde. I believe that Venter was correct; he is one of a very few people who can read me and be correct in their reading.

I'm a handful when I get on the indignant train and there's no conductor to throw me off. I apologize too for being a pain in the rear.

I was wrong. We know enough about you to know that it's just arguing, and I seriously doubt you'd ever be attached to anything like the original cause for the whole discussion. Plus, you know, if you stay away too long, we'll just smoke you out with comments like "you remember honeybadger? The one who said she has a crush on GWB?" or "I saw honeybadger at a tea party (almost said bagger) meeting, did you know she's actually a tea party member? She was giving a prepper lecture and ranting against all of the taxes on the rich people"

Oh, davew, if I cared about your comments you would be bleeding now. However, your feeble attempt to goad me into another HB eruption is an exercise in futility. When I want to argue you will know it. Expressing my opinion is a different story and I stand by what I said about the mother in the other thread. There is nothing wrong with telling other VENTer's that I may have over-reacted to their comments. I don't recall interactions with you previously and you - like the cobra - have passed through my digestive system and are now crap on the ground. Ta ta.

Any other time, and she would have caught it, laughed, and THEN bit your head off! ;D

And yes, sometimes nuances do slip right by me. After all, I'm about as subtle as a brick through a window. I was too harsh though, shame on me. However, I did more than chuckle, I laughed out loud.

I don't mind the way you operate. Cool, davew. I'm sometimes charming and usually friendly. I haven't gnawed any limbs off anyone in years. I was told recently that customers at a local watering hole were visiting and asked if I'd be in for the evening. They had met me previously and were hoping to see me again. Go figure; some people just have no taste.
