  Initially, you called out Henry (and "many others"), but focussed your latest post on me, because I flagged you for your childish temper tantrum. I will thank-you for not using every vile word and blanket accusation you could think of, at least this time.

  You are correct that too much has already been said, so I will also sign off of this thread...honestly..:)

  If you can. Let's really get to know who we are dealing with. This is Renniw52, I will be 61 in June. Happily married for 42 years, 3 kids, 7 grand kids, known as OLD SCHOOL. I travel the Eastern US as a tech rep for Industrial, Automotive and Marine coatings. I love to cook, deep sea fishing, and golfing with what friends that still can. I smoke camels, and drink beer like it will be gone tomorrow. I don't make a lot of money, and don't plan on taking it with me, or leave it to the ones I taught to make their own. I enjoy this crazy game, and my friends I have met on here. I drive an Impala, my 15th one. My first was a 1963-409 SS I bought my Senior year of high school. It was 3 years old, and I thought I was the $hit. Any thing else is just what it is.

  NEXT

  Start again eh ?

  (I work in the pro shop at a golf course at weekends , and people often call to make tee times. Note that our tee times are spaced 8 minutes apart.)

  Me: “Hello, this is [golf course]. How may I help you?”

  Customer: “Hi, I’d like to make a tee time for 2:30, please.”

  Me: “Alright, I’ve got 2:32. Can I have your last name, please?”

  Customer: “2:32?! That’s WAY too late! Do you have anything earlier?”

  Me: “Sure, I have 2:24.”

  Customer: “2:24?! That’s MUCH too early. You guys need to have better times!”

  2 months SOBER...

  Life isn't much fun being sober, still waiting on all the good things to start happing.. At leased I'm in a new Country Club and I'm not the #1 pain in the ass :) It's also gr8 to wake up without a hang over...

  Your in our preys Peter...

  Thank you JB. That means a lot to me. Especially as you are going through your own personal struggle.

  And congratulations on achieving a huge milestone. Good stuff is already happening in your life, you just need to sit back, and realise it.

  One day at a time bud. That's how we do it. One. Day. At. A. Time.

  Sometimes it's really hard, sometimes you want to just give up, but what's the alternative?

  Keep reminding yourself why you took that step. Why you FELT you had to take that step. And then go to sleep, knowing you have conquered another day.

  Cheers,

  Peter

  Me: “Hello, [golf course].”

  Customer: “Yes, Do you guys sell cashews?”

  Me: “As a matter of fact, we do.”

  Customer: “So how much are they?”

  Me: “£2.50p.”

  Customer: “Okay, so can I get a tee time for 2:00?”

  Me: “Sure. How many people?”

  Customer: “Just me.”

  Me: “Okay, and golf cart or walking?”

  Customer: “Oh, I’m not golfing. I’m just coming to pick up the cashews!”

  This gives us all a chance to say something. Let if fly and get it off your chest. Keep it nice and in the right spirit. Once in awhile we will get to know something about a person, that will be nice. Until we do, just be honest and let it fly.

   I really miss my Old Gunny Dad. still dealing with it. My job today really kicked my butt, I'm tired and hurt my back lifting $hit that weighs more than me and my beer isn't cold enough. Other than this for today life is fine and I'm still almost breathing. Now I'm going to my garage and have another Camel.

  Dear .Ren ,

  I've never written to you before, but I really need your advice. I have suspected for some time now that my wife has been cheating on me. The usual signs. Phone rings but if I answer, the caller hangs up. My wife has been going out with "the girls" a lot recently although when I ask their names she always says, "Just some friends from work, you don't know them."

  I  look out for her coming home, but I usually fall asleep. Anyway, I have never approached the subject with my wife. I think deep down I just didn't want to know the truth, but last night she went out again and I decided to really check on her. Around midnight, I decided to hide in the garage behind my golf clubs so I could get a good view of the whole street when she arrived home from a night out with "the girls".

  It was at that moment, crouching behind my clubs, that I noticed that the graphite shaft on my driver appeared to have a hairline crack right by the club head. Is this something I can fix myself or should I take it back to the pro shop where I bought it?

  Signed,
  Perplexed

  At dawn the telephone rings.

   "Hello, Senor.Renni? This is Manuel, the caretaker at your country house." "I have been trying to get hold of you all week!"

  "Yes, well, I have been very busy, Manuel. What can I do for you? Is there a problem?" "Um, I am just calling to advise you, Senor.Renni, that your parrot, he is dead".

   "My parrot? Dead? The one that won the International competition?" "Si, Senor, that's the one."

   "Damn! That's a pity! I spent a small fortune on that bird. What did he die from?" "From eating the rotten meat, Senor.Renni."

   "Rotten meat? Who the hell fed him rotten meat?" "Nobody fed him, Senor. He ate the meat of the dead horse. "

   "Dead horse? What dead horse?" "The thoroughbred, Senor .Renni." "Are you telling me that my prize thoroughbred is dead?" "Yes, Senor.Renni, he died from all that work pulling the water cart."

  "Are you insane? What water cart?" "The one we used to put out the fire, Senor." "Good Lord! What fire are you talking about, man?"

   "The one at your house, Senor! A candle fell and the curtains caught on fire." "What the hell? Are you saying that my mansion is destroyed because of a candle?!" "Yes, Senor .Renni."

  "For the funeral, Senor.Renni." "WHAT BLOODY FUNERAL??!!"

  "Your wife's, Senor Renni". She showed up very late one night and I thought she was a thief, so I hit her with your new Ping G15 204g titanium head golf club with the TFC 149D graphite shaft

  ." SILENCE...........LONG SILENCE.........VERY LONG SILENCE. .

   "Manuel, if you've broken my new f******g driver, you're in deep sh it..
