I find it hard to believe he was a cop. And NO, being 75 doesn't give anyone the right to be cranky or an a-hole. My dad is 87 and is in far better spirits that that guy. I have an Uncle who is 82 and has had several back surgeries and really moves slow now. My Aunt tells me he has been in a lot of pain over the past several years but is still very upbeat and smiles and jokes about things.

I have watched four family members die from cancer who were in far better spirits and had far better attitudes. We have a poster right here who has been is some very bad health. When I read his posts they are upbeat. He isn't letting it get him down here.

You might not realize it, but you are making this guy out to be some kind of victim. All you are doing is encouraging him to continue to have a sh*tty attitude and to be a crabass. Almost everything negative coming his way is of his own doing. If you want to blame people for his attitude you might be better served to tell him to look in the mirror to get a reflection of where his poor attitude and crankiness is coming from.

Look at his posts, even when he isn't answering me. We are talking baseball and some of the changes that might happen this season in another thread. He comes in and says he would like to see some baseball and is excited. Then he says "and no Hawk Harrelson." This is my point. He can't just comment on what he thinks of the changes. He has to take a personal shot at Harrelson, who hasn't called a game since 2018 and called few games then.

My goodness man, look in this very thread. I started this thread with an upbeat post asking everyone how their weekend went. Read the posts after mine...then read his. He couldn't even enter this thread without being a crabass. Then he made an allegation against the guy who posted which was incorrect. Did he apologize to that guy? Hell no.

Age doesn't make a person cranky. A terrible attitude does. And this guy has the worst attitude of anyone I have had to deal with in my entire life. So, you have this guy misdiagnosed. It isn't crankiness brought on by age, it's bitterness and a bad attitude.

This mope's idea of being crabby is someone who disagrees with him. In my opinion, he's narrow minded and shallow (perhaps I'm being redundant, here, but he's a special case).

Yes, I couldn't stand Harrelson. If he were still working, I wouldn't be as hopeful of the season possibly starting. He was overwhelmed by cliches and his hate for the Cubs made Sox people look foolish. Whining that the Cubs got all the calls was bad enough, but he even claimed that the Cubs got better weather than the Sox. What a putz. No wonder you like him.

Tell me where I said I liked him. In the end, if fact, I didn't like him. I too got tired of his whining, especially during the Robin Ventura managerial era. When he left, it was time to go. You are again jumping to conclusions. There was no reason to even mention him in that thread. He isn't even a part of the broadcasting team and hasn't been for what is approaching 2 years now. With your narrow mind, you just assumed I liked him because I thought it was childish of you to even go there. Man, let it go. As a matter of fact, you need to let a lot of things go and just get over them. I am sure we'll need to watch the high rise buildings and bridges for you when Hawk is inducted into the HOF. I tend to think he is deserving. But it doesn't mean I necessarily like the guy.

Your being a bitter, crabby, miserable person is a given here. But what really galls me is the fact you alleged a poster in this thread broke the law and committed, what is probably a felony, by purchasing ammunition in a parking lot. And when you were proven incorrect you didn't have the decency to go back and admit you were wrong and offer an apology to the guy. That, in a nutshell, describes what kind of a person you are. But you sit back hoping your minions will defend you.

Then, in your haughty way, you have the nerve to tell people to stand up for what they believe in. I guess in your world that also includes alleging incorrect and unsubstantiated felonious activity of others. You are an embarrassment to the Catholic religion and a Catholic education.

There have been several people who have disagreed with me here. And not once have I ever called any of them crabby. If you can find it, show me where I did. I reserve that tag for you. I actually call you bitter.

Let me remind you of something that happened when I first joined this board. One of the first or second threads I read here was one where you were arguing with another poster here...I know, hard to believe.... But that guy called you crabby back then. I actually jumped in and defended you. My post said something like, "hey the guy might be having a bad day. Everyone is a crab now and then." I was telling the guy, more or less, to lay off. Do you remember that? I do like it was yesterday. You actually came back here and thanked me too.

Then I started seeing more and more of that behavior on your part and realized I was wrong and the other poster was correct. I remember what set the fuse off between us too. Then a couple weeks ago when I was debating Ramblinman you jumped in and the first thing you wrote to him was, "I know we have had our disagreements in the past." Hell, you can say that line to virtually everyone else here. I might be at war with you, but you are at war with almost everyone else here.

People are crabby now and then, but guys like you make it a daily habit. You have a rotten attitude. And anyone who wants to call you a friend after what you alleged against another poster without an apology after being proven wrong, needs to check himself. Be a man and own up to that.

Agree! Don't bring religion into this (friendly) argument. That's going too far IMO. I would hope an apology from LTHS is forthcoming on that point of his argument.
On second thought I can offer an apology for bringing religion into the discussion. But, don't take this as an apology to him. That isn't going to happen. I am sorry if you take offense to this. I was meaning to point out his hypocrisy.

I can tell you the main reason I stopped going to the Catholic church. And there was a time I went every Sunday and on all Holy Days too. I have absolutely no problem with those who attend every Sunday...as long as they are genuine about it and practice what they are hearing.

I will admit when I am wrong and apologize, which I just did. I will try to set things straight. I learned that from home and in the Catholic religion teachings. Obviously someone else I am arguing with didn't get that memo, or wasn't paying attention when those things were being taught.

If you think I'm going to apologize for criticizing behavior that I consider immoral and dangerous, you're out of luck.

Besides, the fellow in question never asked for an apology -- just you. Who asked you to stick your nose in? Why are you such a busy-body?

You could be an old time apology bounty hunter ... riding your burro through the Old West ... from town to town ... seeking justice for the rebuked and the criticized.

I encountered two other characters like you on this board over the years. One from a town along a canal; the other, a guy who called himself by a medical term. Like yourself, they hated that anyone would disagree with them and they would respond with long, meandering posts that no one likely finished reading. Also, like yourself, when all other arguments failed, they criticized my religious beliefs. That's when I knew they'd run dry.

I don't care if you do or do not attend a Catholic Church ... as long as you're not attending mine.

Actually it was you who stuck your nose in his business. You need to take your Prevagen to help aid in that memory loss. Just so you know, this thread was going along fine until you stuck your nose into it. And this has been your repeated behavior. You get into a thread and it heads toward the gutter where you live. Every thread I have seen deleted here, headed that way when you entered.

Oh, geez. get a grip. Who are you judge anyone here regarding morality? There was nothing immoral or dangerous in what those guys did. Chill out or you'll end up having the big one before the weekend is over. I will bet 90% of the people who know you, don't even know if you have teeth. The other 10% see you smile once a year so they know. Quit taking yourself so seriously.

No, I actually take the burros up into the mountains prospecting for gold.

Dude, we're providing much needed entertainment for the rest of the board. There is nothing else going on, so enjoy. Or I guess you could change the channel. I am enjoying myself with a laugh regarding all this. I am not the one whose blood is boiling.

I wouldn't want to discourage anyone from attending and I applaud those who do...as long as they are genuine. But, I have no idea why you bother. When I read your posts it's obvious to me you aren't paying attention to what is being said or maybe you are asleep. You are, in reality, the worst hypocrite there is.

You are very judgmental of others. They do cover that in mass and in the teachings. You show hatred in your posts. I would never tell anyone that I don't want them attending my church or any church. That's the difference between guys like me and guys like you. Come on man. Wake up. This is where you are being tested. It's easy to invite people into your church if they think like you do. The challenge is to invite those who don't and even those you might strongly dislike. Try doing that sometime. It isn't easy. But it might make you feel differently. I am not just throwing that suggestion out there. I got it from my dad.

Do you know, attendance is sharply down in churches? It seems to me it would be a better idea to invite people to your church...even those you disagree with and dislike. But to tell someone not to attend your church only exposes your hatred more. You really need to check yourself.

Going to church alone isn't going to get anyone into heaven. It's what a person does outside of church that really counts. People only spend, on average, one hour a week in church. The rest of the time they are out in the world showing everyone what they have learned, or what they haven't.

My dad was raised Catholic. At one time he considered becoming a priest. The whole family went to church every Sunday when I was growing up. Now, my dad hasn't been in church, other than weddings in years. But, he is probably one of the most religious people I know. No, he doesn't quote scripture and outside of saying the rosary every night you might not see it in him right away. Yes, he does cuss and did a lot when we were kids. Never the F word however. Now he almost never cusses. Incidentally, I have heard more than one priest use the F word. That didn't bother me and I never thought less of them. But I have always watched what he does. He lives it. He doesn't preach it. And to this day I have never met a more honest person...and I have met some honest people.

When I say honest, I mean he is honest with himself and isn't a hypocrite.

It may seem like it. But I am not telling you how to live your life. Have a good weekend. I'm out. Got lots to do here with projects. Stay safe.

“Dude”, I like the Edgy channel.
I’m just tired of the programming whenever you and the other guy come on the show as quests.

Maybe you misunderstood my post. I didn't mean to exit the board altogether when I said it might be a good idea to change the channel. I wouldn't recommend that. Each thread is a channel. Edgy is the service of channels. I am sure there are other channels you can go to with other guests you approve of. It works for me.

It works like this. In the TV world there are several channels that have programming I don't like or care for. I simply avoid those channels.

That could work, except no-matter which channel I change to, you two come on again like a bad infomercial.

This is the only channel I see where he and I are dominating the conversation. I have seen plenty of others you can look at. How about the NFL draft thread? Maybe you can read and add something there? Or the HS stadiums. There is also a thread where Edgy is asking for input to do this. Maybe you can go there and help out with your expertise. You have plenty of options without us being there and dominating the conversation.. This isn't the only channel. Personally, I don't watch infomercials. I let them have their say while I simply change the channel. I like all opinions...even those I disagree with. It isn't hard to do. Now pick up the remote and figure out where you want to go. It works for me.

It's' not a good idea to mention specific family members on a message board.

THIS WEEKEND ...

I’m driving the the northwest suburbs, winding through a neighborhood and pulling into the backend of a cul de sac abutting an 8A high school, where I’ll see my friend, his wife and maybe the 22-year-old son who I’ve watched grow since he was three, to buy a month’s supply of weed.

That transaction is not actually legal, but possessing the product is.

Beware of the Edgy blog secret police. They might not like it.
If you see someone with binoculars observing the cul de sac as you arrive, don't do it. I repeat, don't do it.
