Hellow evryone,

As some of you may know, I started posting here again a few weeks ago. Lately I've been getting the feeling that maybe what I've been writing may be offending some here. If that is the case, I am truely sorry. I never meant to do so. I thought I was helping but as most of you know, this horrable condition we have (constant pain) causes us to get moody and cranky to say the least. I thing maybe sometimes it gets the better of me and shows in my writing. I never to sound like a know-it-all as some geezers my age do, it's been a long ride. I would like to continue posting but please, if I tend to get out of line, let me know ASAP! I'm thick skinned and can take it, I never want to hurt any of you good people in any way!

Thanks and here's hopes for a pain free New Year!

Your friend,

Pete

Pete,
To be honest, I can't even remember your other posts! LOL What you said is true for all of us - that this pain and the meds we take are almost certainly going to make for some odd posts from time to time. I think that's why our great moderators are here - to nudge us a bit when that happens.

Please keep posting, and i'll try to do better at remembering your posts! ;-)

Girls, Thanks so much for for your support, it does a body good to have caring friends!!!! To be honest, I was out of town for the New Years holliday for a few days and away from my PC. When I returned, I went straight to my favorite forum page and looked at one of the topics I had replied to the week before. It was a hot topic that was getting alot of attention. I forget why but I had rambled on about my testosterone problems and right under my post, a Moderator stated that enough was said on the subject and someone should edit their post because they might hurt someone's feelings and that the subject was closed! I wasn't sure if it was my posts or what I had wrote that caused her to write that but I felt badly about it, hence> my appology. That's all. As you all know, sometimes what you think you are writing down doesn't always come acrossed to others the way you ment it to. I write alot while at work, >>>Very Bad Pete<<<! but sometimes I have to get out fast and only read over what I wrote quickly and hit send. As any who read my posts, Typo's and horendus spelling are my trademark! But seriously, I can relate so much to so much of what you good folks are saying that sometimes I think I'm reading about myself! I love & care about y'all more than you know, I'm just silly like that. Here's hoping that we all find the strength and fortitude to stay strong until some caring & smart scientist or Dr. finds a cure for all of our pains!!!
Your Silly Friend,
Pete

Hey Pete, glad you are staying, we need you here. I know the post you are speaking of, lol, I wrote a response on it too, hey could of been mine that got it bumped off, oh well, we will never know,lol. I don't think any of us will lose any sleep over it.

I do hope you had a great New Years. I fell alseep at the puter at 10:30, so you can see who the life of the party was,lol. Maybe I should say who was not the life of the party. Hugs, Susie

Thank Susie! Yep, I made it to 8:30pm on N.Y.E. the party animal that I am! Then waken up at midnight when thanks to my neibors, it sounded like my house was being blown to Kingdom Come! Well, it was me years ago w/ the fireworks so I wasn't upset but my do & birds were!
Hugs to Yuze!

Hi Pete,
I am another one who is trying to become more regular with my posts. I don't know what thread you are talking about, but don't worry. If we do something wrong, Lindaloo or Chutz or any one of the moderators will let us know asap....
Anyway, nice to meet you and glad you are staying.

I've seen enough surgeons over the last few years.

Pete,
I posted on that thread you're referring to, also. I wasn't sure either, so I just deleted my posts! Anyway, I have found the moderators (Chutz & Lindaloo are the mods for the CP forum, but other mods pop in as someone said) to be great and not mean or anything like that. And they participate in the forum, too, and are CPP's - and volunteers.

Anyway, not to worry. You're fine! I think we all trip up here and there. There are some rules to the site, and i don't mind them, but I know some people do. Fortunately, precise spelling and grammar aren't listed!! :-)

Hi Pete,

I hope you decide to stay. You've never offended me. We all have our bad days. It is easy to write or say something & then regret it later on. But as people have said, if you're ever really out of line, the mods will tell you. We need all the support & brains we can get here! So keep posting!
