It's all beyond my little mind. I am going hang out with my neighbor Odd Ball and drink some his late batch, aged moonshine, I think it was made last Wednesday.
Kumbaya..

Don't know about that but I'll report back to the group later - its normally pretty good stuff. I find a lot of 'shine' tastes like Zippo fluid but his stuff seems to be a lot smoother. I suppose it is really Jack Daniels without the barrel aging. I was in Bern's Steak House last Sunday and I drank one of their very small glasses of 1918 brandy, it was only $37 but worth the experience.
Condor, I love Berns, one of the best steak joints I have ever had the pleasure of dining at.
I have had my share of timeouts and each time it was certainly my fault and I was very happy to be let back in. I really missed the place when I was on a time out . You don't know you will miss something until it is gone and I did miss my friends while I was in timeout. My problem is that I suffer from early onset dementia and I don't now what I am saying some of the time as I just don't remember especially when I am on certain meds. There are times when I loose a whole weeks worth of time and have zero recollection. I know it sounds like a weak ass excuse but it is true. One of the medicines is called Ativan and it robs my memory big time.
I have to have a live in care taker live with me so I remember to take my meds when I am supposed to. I am on 7 different meds along with one shot a day and I cannot afford to forget even one. I am on a med for blood clots and it is dangerous not to take it every day. I have to take a shot for my type ll diabetes . The other day my sugar was at 67, way too low. My care taker gave me a big glass of OJ. Sometimes my blood pressure gets to low like 87 over 45. I have Starbucks coffee drinks loaded with caffeine to get that up higher. It is a battle keeping my numbers where they should be every day.
Then there are days when my stress level goes through the roof and I have to take a drug that chills me out to the point I have no idea what I am posting half the time. This is when I get in trouble with the mods and Kevin. All I can do is apologize and ask for forgiveness. I never try to post things that are meant to be mean or controversial but when you have no clue what you are saying it is hard to remember. On a day when I have to take those meds I try to stay away from this site and not get into any trouble but sometimes I have forgotten I took those medications then I can get in trouble. I am very grateful that Kevin and the mods give me a little space as I would hate to blow 8 years of enjoying myself at my favorite pipe site.
When I was diagnosed with early onset dementia a few years ago the doctor told me I was real young for it and he hoped that I could afford live in help or have children to help. I am lucky that while my kids build their careers I can afford a live in.
Before I had the live in's start I would end up in the hospital quite often. One day I was at my doctors office a few years ago and he took my blood pressure, he immediately called an ambulance because my blood pressure was so low. He said I was lucky I was in his office as if I had been home I could have died.
My numbers are a lot better since the live in girls have begun living with me.

Now that Gentlemen makes all the other craziness pale into insignificance! Count you damn blessings and lets all move on and thank our particular God that we are not afflicted with such health issues! Thank you cigrmaster for putting everything into perspective!
I’ll paraphrase the scene from “Hoosiers”. There’s two kinds of crazy. If someone gets naked and screams while in the street it can be ignored, but if that person does that in your living room, you kinda have to deal with it.
I choose to ignore most things and let the mods police the living room

A lot of guys who shake things up in forums, whether here or elsewhere online, tend to get a bad rap as if they were just trolls. They inevitable get heavily moderated and/or banned, but personally I think they keep things interesting.
Straight up trolling is another thing altogether, but I’ve never seen anything here that I’d consider real trolling.

I think that this has run its course.
I would like to just remind everyone of two things.
1) Personal attacks are not allowed on the forum. (I'm not calling anyone out here, but there have been a few comments that were on the line.)
2) We have an infractional point system that comes with bans. When a point is issued, it stays with you for one year. Too many points in a one year period will get a permanent ban. Read this post by Kevin as a reminder of how many points will get you banned.

Warning Points System :: General Discussion
These forums have seen substantial growth over the last year or so. The larger a group gets, the more unwieldy it can become. In order to help us moderate, and to provide a disincentive to misbehave, we now have a Warning Points System. When a rule is broken, or somebody is just being a jerk...

And let me add, if anyone tries to play the system points to their advantage, they can also be banned outright. Now all mods have the power to do so.
That is all.
