ot but on topic..am I crabby?

All,

I have posted responses the last few days, and my apologies are in order.

I re-read my posts and my oh my, I come across as crabby, stubborn, abrupt, etc.

Perhaps I should soften my e-words a tad. I am not a typist, so conservation of typing becomes vital.

D.

I do mean this.

No apology required for me,do you happen to text? I see the most rude and blunt conversations because people don't have the time at the time to be polite.

I have my moments too, no problem.

Not unfamiliar to most of us. My crabby days are Monday thru Friday at work and Sat/Sun at home.

I don't have a problem with it unless I feel it is personally directed at me.

When I post something I reread it at least three times to check for typos, content, and if the story flows. Then once more to see if it feels right.

If you don't come across a little crabby on YT they will peg you as pantywaist.

I have deleted more posts on YT than I hit reply for. I read them and think, and look at what the poster was (maybe) trying to say. Yes, delete a lot of jokes also. Being P/C ain't fun. If you can't make a mistake (or joke) among friends, where can you? joe

Maybe, you've watched Lucy too much on the Charlie Brown shows! Just kidding. Been home today (paid time off!) listening to/watching it rain all dam! day on into the early evening hours!! Hopefully, it'll be clear tomorrow, got stuff I want to do. With the world like it is today, it's a wonder we're all not crabby most of the time.

True story. When I was first stationed overseas in Germany, I lived in the barracks for a few months before I went out and got an apartment on the economy. One evening after the duty day ended, I'm in my barracks room and my roommate, Reuben says "Me and Greg and the guys are going out for beers if you want to join us". Sounded good and I said "OK, but who's Greg?". He looks at me and says, "You know who Greg is, you've had beers with us several times". OK, but I still had no idea who Greg was. A while later there's a knock at the door, I answer it, in walks Bob. I shake his hand, "Hey Bob, me and Reuben are going out and having beers with some guys if you want to come along". He said it sounded good to him. The whole time my roommate, Reuben was standing there with a puzzled look on his face and looks at Bob and says, "Bob? I thought your name is Greg". Bob looks at Reuben and says, "My name is Greg". I looked at Bob and said, "Greg? I've been calling you Bob for months". He looks back at me and says, "Yeah, but I knew who you were talking to and you weren't mad when you were calling me Bob so I let it go".

Lesson learned from then on? I don't care what people call or say to me so long as they aren't mad when they do it, and if they are and I can out run them, I'm still doing good.

No problem. Sometimes mine seem abrupt when I was just trying to get somebody's goat and make a little joke. It's all in how somebody else reads things.
