I know i am as guilty as anyone else on this in life and could be here. But before you go blowing up on people for any reason even if it is a good one just don't say anything and if you don't do it here i am sure some of you have done it in the car. People come here to get help and give help and we or lot of us have traded barbs at times over stupid things, i got on yzz a friend over something he said that rubbed me the wrong way and he is still a friend as is goin gone but it was just one of those days did not even read the whole thing they said read enough to see what i did not like. The same way if someone cuts you off in traffic maybe they have a good reason but is it do any good to lay on the horn and make arm movements like throw hands in the air no. Nor does the neg post that are here at times or the fireing back like i said i am guilty and it was at 2 friends who i have talked to many of times but i still went off on them,did it make any difference no it just made me think how stupid I can be at times and how we should not react or say things if they are not good. I believe that 98% of the people on this site are good people and here for a good reason to help or get help. Why this post?

Well got a letter today that brought tears to my eyes and not ashamed to say it. We have a member her goes by Pilot who does not post much but is on everyday a very nice family man with a nice wife they are just good people as most on here are.

Well it seems his son went in for a simple basic corrective surgery in surgery nothing is and can be called simple because on the simple ones things can go wrong and in this case it did. I do not have the whole story from Jim yet because he is very torn up you see his son now is being kept alive by a vent something in this simple thing went wrong ,like i said don't know everything yet but i ask you to say a prayer for Jim's son and his family if you pray and to think how even a simple thing can happen in life that turns into something bad. so before you make a post pointing out how wrong a person is ,or blow up in your car if you are cut off and i used my example because i don't like pointing fingers unless it is at me think it over first because your life could change in a sec. and it could be for the worse i hate to say this but it is true all we really have is the breath we take at each second we are alive we do not know 5 seconds from now what could happen and that is the plain and simple truth so if you could all just try and remember this it would go much smother in life for all the world and all you have to worry about is you and things will be different if each person tried this not on this site but in life.

Jim's son is in trouble and i belive in the power of prayer hate to bring religon up in here but i do belive in a higher power and belive through group prayer things can be better and will be anserwed maybe not like we want but our higher power who i choose to call god will anser us, so if you could take the time out and say a word for Jim's son and family i am sure it will help, and think about what i said we really don't know what will happen 5 secs from now we have 1 breath keeping taking it and try to enjoy it and be postive with all you do i feel the hurt for a friend and would feel it for all of you if it was a family member of yours or you and would ask the same for you from this site.

May peace be with you and just try and digest what i have said it made me think really hard when i got that email the first thing i read when i woke up,at how self centered i can be at times when life has much more to offer then to pick at someone over something stupid, i am alive happy and have much more then many in the world and i take it for granted.

My prayers are with your son Jim and your family and I know you are in good hands.

Class act Fletcher. Prayers are on the way...

Subject: Fw: 100% TRUE

Think about this. You may not realize it, but it's 100% true.

1. There are at least 2 people in this world whom you would die for.

2. At least 15 people in this world love you in some way.

3. The only reason anyone would EVER hate you is because they want to be just like you.

4. A smile from you can bring happiness to anyone, even if they don't like you.

5. Every night, SOMEONE thinks about you before they go to sleep.

6. You mean the world to SOMEONE.

7. You are special AND unique.

8. Someone who you don't even know exists, loves you.

9. When you make the biggest mistake ever, something good comes from it.

10. When you think the world has turned its back on you, take a look.

11. Always remember the compliments you received. Forget about the rude remarks.

On the course!
Eric,

Often it is hard to get one's thoughts out in a plain and simple fashion in a typed format. I am quite certain that if we had conversed in person, there would have been no problem. I think that's why a lot of people come back from the Super Bowl party, and say, "So-and-so is a lot nicer than I thought." Or, "I didn't think I would like this person, but we got along really well." It's just too hard to always be understood in writing.

Anyone who has read my posts long enough knows that I speak my mind. If I question something, I ask. If something pisses me off, I bark, and so on.

I am even pretty certain that I will buck heads with some folks over the SB weekend, but in all reality, I have few people I don't get along with.

I know that you have a lot more going for you than handicapping, but this site is about handicapping, so I can see how you would get bent by someone questioning you. I am sure we will talk at the party, and I will get all the information straight from you, that I might want.

In the mean time, you are right. Life is too short to squabble over petty shit. A guy I went to school and played hockey with, just died this weekend. He was 38. "Sudden illness", was the cause.

Let's move on............

People have different opinions and will Butt Heads. When life deals people a tragedy the true perspective of what is important always gives us a wake up call. Best Wishes

It has to be an unbelievable situation for this family, they truly have my family's prayers and thoughts for a successful recovery.

May God bless your son.
