Its a combination of things.
My stress because of the ongoing cancers that my father is fighting.
My frustration with the Busse knife family being so freaking disfunctional. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />
And worst of all is a horrible feeling of dread I've been dealing with for a couple of weeks now. Makes me a wee bit irritable.
Consequently, I need a friendly climate till this urge to rip someones face off subsides. I'm normally a very protective fellow, but I'm getting ridiculous. I have an incredible passion for Jerry's blades, and when they are dissrespected I get more than a little defensive on a good day.
I'll be around, but from now on till I get to feeling better, when I see a bad post I'll just shut the computer and go chop some wood with my Battle Mistress, crap handles and all. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
LD, I too am sorry to hear about your father. Mine struggled with bad heath issues for several years, I know what a strain it can put on you.
Let us know if there's anything we can do.
I don't know about the other Busse kin Forums or disfunctions, this forum is my home I have no reason to stray from it, I like to think of the guys here as an extended family, and although family members will disagree from time to time, I've found this family to be pretty close knit and usually of like mind, so if someone rants I usually take it in very much the same way I do when my own family members rant. It's almost like confiding in your friends and that's what friends are for. You too are part of that family.
