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.
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!
Note that most of what anyone says is about themselves most of the time anyway.

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.
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.
you guys today was a Monday also, even though it said Tuesday on all the things. Why.
and Gud, you are doing a lot of work, and under stress. You are not screwing up.
Boo. Can you have tasty beverages to dull the pain? I promise I'm going to sit Tuesday down right now and have a stern talk with her. She needs to stop being a brat. It would be nice if she were more like her cousins, Thursday or Friday.

Yup, me too. My usual MO is to come here, start what I think is going to be a supportive post, realize that it's 80% me whining about what a fuck up I am, stop, edit out about 70% of that shit, and then hit post.
