In the context of everything else you have told us, Gud, this is part of a very disturbing pattern. You are way too hard on yourself and it sounds like you are not the only one. I hope y'all can straighten things out.
You know, it's funny. We went to war never looking to come back, but it's the real world I couldn't survive.

How's your daughter doing, Gud?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Thinking about current events on the board, I just wanted to apologize for anything I've posted that might have made people uncomfortable. My social skills are not very strong.
Gud, you've never made me uncomfortable.
I also want to apologize for any posts that have made people uncomfortable or annoyed. My social skills aren't the greatest, but they've improved a lot in the last 15 years, largely due to hanging out here.
I have a feeling that in the last seven years (after the Great Bedbug Fiasco of Aught-nine) there've been times when I've been excessively whiny, selfish and self-centered here. I'm sorry for that. Trying to be a good person takes work.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I would argue that there have been times when you've had a lot of shit going on, and that is what we are here for!

Seconding this. The medium is heavy on self-expression.

This this this.
I'm at the Melbourne airport with Lee. We're flying to Cairns this morning where we'll be see the Great Barrier Reef.
Yesterday we saw koalas, kangaroos, parrots, cockatoos, and a kookaburra in the wild. Several parrots sat on my head and made me their personal jungle gym.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
shrift, I am totally jealous of your and Lee's adventures.
I always feel like it's mememememe all of the time when I post. Between venting about Rob, then his death, followed by the out-laws from hell and the clusterfuck that was his estate, and my miserable job, and my family, and my cat, and me... yeah.

and Gud, you are doing a lot of work, and under stress. You are not screwing up.
