Georgiansilver,

I like you and I like your posts. I don't always agree with you, but I have enjoyed the tone and equanimity you bring to the threads. Ya need a week off, go for it. But, get yer ass back here after that. We all have pissed people off. Sometimes we deserve the flak and other times we don't. I don't blame you for having feelings that get hurt now and then. That's the way it is when you wear your heart on your sleeve. For some people it's a sign of courage, and for others it's a target.

Cut yourself some slack. I realize where you're comin' from having been there a few times myself. Sometimes we ARE the problem, sometimes we're not, and other times you end up wearing the crap from another's situation, circumstance or just plain bad day.

Remember the two things every plumber knows:

1) Shit flows downhill
2) Payday's Friday.

Be Blessed , buddy.
