To be clear, if I leave it won't be entirely by choice, nor will it be for what might seem to be the obvious reason. I'm not going to jeopardize this thread though by bringing it here.

A dear friend and wise man, once kinda explained to me. You're not going to change the direction of a bus by standing in front of it while it is barreling down the highway. Just get run over, and nothing is accomplished. Sit behind the driver, be his buddy, make small talk, and sneak a suggestion in once in awhile. It'll turn.

    For the moment it looks like I didn't poke hard enough to face any repercussions. I'm glad, because I didn't want to lose this home. I just had something I needed to say, and was perhaps overly concerned about what would happen when I did.
    Skull, sorry that my somewhat obscure post led to concern, but I appreciate you looking out for me.
    Lynn, I agree, I feel more at home here myself.
    Dinger, I promise, no more angst, at least not intentional. I've said what I needed to say, I've gotten a response, I'm done stirring the pot now.
    Louis, ummm, well, not sue I was quite throwing myself in front of the bus, but point taken. See above.

    Yeah, but life does not stop. Gotta get things done so the wifey will allow me a good weekend. The old addage, "Happy Wife, Happy Life!!" Good motto to live by if you are married.
    That's why my husband is now an EX...he didn't heed that advice!;)

    Aggravating day, meets aggravating shopping experience... putting things in my cart at BCV. Get to 20, or so items, and BAM! Cart is empty. d'OH! :eek:
    I refuse to be in a bad mood... refuse I say!
    Glad you're not leaving kad.

    Howdy Krewe!
    Doh! Sounds like they have a bit of a glitch in their software.

    fwiw, brother, one of the reasons that I value you as a person is that you seem to be a person of both values and value - and sometimes you have to take a stand, to remain in alignment with your internal compass and sense of personal integrity - one tidbit to ponder though, to extrapolate on the words of Mssr. Ghandhi ("be the change you want to see in others")... sometimes, the best way to communicate a point or take a stand is by means of spiritual aikido - redirecting the negative energy in such a way that something positive is achieved - channeling the outrage into laserlike focus, to excise the tumor, instead of an explosion (and sometimes much easier said than done)... breathe, aim, pull the trigger (and sometimes, make sure the suppressor is functioning...)

    PLRS, brother - and Ohana

    Kad, I'm glad that you're able to stick around. I would miss your innuendos although sometimes I was tempted to tell you to knock that :censored: off! Lol
    Well, if I do cross the line too far, please say so. Last thing I intend is to offend or make anyone uncomfortable. I work in a fairly loose environment, I'd probably be hauled into HR daily anywhere else. But then again so would our Plant Manager, General Manager, Quality Manager, Engineering Manager (you get the picture) so I don't always consider that others may not appreciate it.

    Well, the vape budget just got shot tonight.

    Kitty had run-in with emergency vet after horking most of the past two days. The bloody ick is what made me freak out. $450 later, she got some fluids, couple other shots and a thermometer shoved in a "this is not an innie" oriface. Will watch to see how she responds.

    She's 14, and other than being overweight, she's apparently healthy.....

    Sorry to hear about Kitty. I'd say give her a hug for me, but in my experience most of them don't appreciate hugs. So give her a head .... for me.
