Not you either Don, I should know better than to post when I haven't had enough sleep. Shea and his family experienced a terrifying criminal incident. Mentally, I put myself in Shea's position and it terrifies me. All I have is a baseball bat under my bed, maybe that makes me a fool. My family is ...words can't describe..I come from a bad childhood, my wife and I have built something beautiful together...my daughter...the thought of someone coming into my house and I can't protect that.....again no words. I'm an emotional guy, being this way has it's pro' and con's. Pro is that when I can harness this passion I am a constructive force for good to be reckoned with, Con is when that passion gets out unharnessed, mostly I say stupid stuff and misinterpret other people, this being the case here.
I don't want to make light of what you went through Shea, but if the silver lining here is that you have motivated me to take pro active steps towards protecting what is most precious (sad attempt at humor) then I will thank you for it. I am also thankful that we have amazing people in our community to offer love and support to you during your time of duress ( i think i used that word correctly, and yes this was another sad attempt at humor). I am thankful for people like Nathan, who was just trying to offer words of caution ( I got some good advice a several years ago about forum interaction, the rule of 'best possible interpretation', I forgot that yesterday), you offered caution and wisdom, I heard lecture and preaching, you deserve better than that from me my friend, we've drank beers and walked the golden mile together for goodnes sake. I'm thankful for Don for offering to teach and support. Again I need to run, more later. Happy Friday Warhamsters, may your dice ever crit.
