Hi,
I decided to stop posting for a while over the weekend. After reading your post five times, I have undecided. Obviously, I've posted. I'm glad you came back to read my post. I like a lot of what you had to say in your post. I don't like a lot of what you had to say in your post too. I kind of just want to concentrate on the last sentence of your post. This one: "Well thats it for me I will check this message one time for responses and then I hope to meet some of you in Las Vegas".
I'm chronic just like you! Personally I don't mind wallowing through all the trivial, humorous posts. I enjoy the venting and the silly posts as well as the arguing and the serious posts too. It's quite a cast of human beings here at CH.com! It helps me feel less alone reading all the cool stuff from the cool human beings!!
You say that you hope to meet SOME of the people in Las Vegas. I hope to meet EVERYONE in Las Vegas. I hope to especially meet the people that I MAY have offended here on the message board. I believe that it is quite easy to offend people with the written word. In my humble opinion, it's a "perception thing". It may even be a miscommunication thing. It's not my fault as the writer nor is it their fault as the reader. I'm really not a "bad guy". I firmly believe that no one here at CH.com is a "bad guy" either. We may be hurting sometimes, but I don't think that we are "bad people". I hope when we see each other in person and when they see the big smile on my face they will understand that I am not a "bad guy".
As a matter of fact I have a big smile on my face right now. Of course it may be due to my flatulence problem. I often smile when I pass gas. Please take this post in the sincerest and honest form for which it is intended. Please don't stop posting. If everyone stops posting I will be alone again. Just me and my flatulence and my Cluster Headaches. As Bob P always says, "love you guys".
