Through with the Hobby.

I haven't seen you commit any crime here. Although, I'll offer this: if you're going to poke the bear, Grumpy wouldn't be my first choice.

Try Toze' instead. :D
 
It is very important that you take care of yourself first and seek whatever means that will do that for you. So sorry to hear about your personal losses. One thing I have seen time and time again here on AK is the compassion and support that the members of this community have given so freely towards other AK members who sometimes find themselves on the "bumpy" road of life. Take care, amigo.

Don't recall us sparring over anything. I'm glad you've got a plan. Do what you gotta do, this place will always be here when you're ready.

I wouldn't go so far to say you're the only irrational one here. No need to hog all the credit ;)

Folks, I have a couple of things to say.

I've never been the most sound an individual, but have always tried to be civil and rational. In the past I did go through a lot, what with my grandparents dying of cancer and almost losing my mother. Since the parents are divorced, that would mean having to go live with my father. We clash about everything except music. Yet, his place is tiny and all my gear would have to go.

Anyway, I think www.records has hit the nail on the head (and through the board!). I have made arrangements to go speak to a psychologist who will help me through my bad habits and lately, my bipolar behavior. This is a huge embarrassment but I do not want to lose the friendship and community I have gained on AK over the years. :tears:

I am hoping that we can put this behind us, and that everyone here can accept my apology. I want to be able to continue discussing our hobby and hope I haven't hobbled my chances at doing so. I realize now that i was the only one being irrational here. Special apology goes to Stuartk, Grumpy, DNewma, and whomever else I've bothered.

And Sandy, hey I owe ya one, pal! :thmbsp:

Glad your working on things for yourself. I can never say that I understand what it is like walking in someone else shoes. I would say get more than one opinion and do everything you can if they try to get you to take pharmacuticals. I am not a mental health professional, but I have heard stories from several people about their loved ones being diagnosed with bipolar or depression and things definitly went downhill after they got put on them. Just remember that if you know that things are going to be better in your future they will be. Glad you decided to hang around.:thmbsp:

Bethany & Lauriann & I were in the Ship's Radio Room one day, & I was telling them both what some of that stuff was worth & what they should do when I croak. "Rick Mish offered me $5K for this R-390A, this R-389 oughta go for $2500 anyway, the EK-07 oughta go for $2500 as well..." Bethany's eyes got real big, I could see the calculator in her head working, Lauriann just looked at her & grinned, "Fuggeddaboutit, little girl. As his wife, they go to ME before they go to you..." Besides, the REAL money is in the gun safe...Coin collection & about 125 guns...Both of 'em know the combination to the gun safe...

So Sandy are you going to sell the gun collection so you can afford digital converter boxes for all you roundies?:D
 
Oh, so I'm on the verge of being banned? Well, If it must be..

I strongly feel people deserve more than one chance, but as we've seen, opinion is something that is left up to the individual.

Right now, I'm feeling good, having some chamomile tea and reading a "Cosmos" by Carl Sagan. I know that among many astronomy buffs, this book is the sort of 'newbie' guide to your extremely expert fields of work. However it has sparked a great deal of interest in me which I hadn't had the drive for in a long time. Come to think about it, maybe electrical enginerring isn't right for me-- Hell, I wanna be an astronaut.

You know what the best part of living is? The ability of the vocation. (POSITIVITY side)

Will report back tomorrow

I can relate to not having interest in anything. I have been through that recently myself, and I can tell you it does suck. Hang in there and you will find something that kick starts you again. I felt as if I was just shut down, going through the motions. My wife was very understanding and that helped a lot. If you have someone to talk to, do it, it will help. I'm not sure what brought me out of my funk, but I seem to be out of it these days, though each day I have to actively keep myself positive. That is the key. We'll be sending you positive vibrations. :yes:

As for the guys messing with you, well I think that they only do that because they care. At any rate, I know there isn't one guy here that wishes you anything but the best in your efforts to get back to where you want to be.

Good luck, don't burn any bridges and take a break. We ain't going anywhere.
 
Take a deep breath, drink a cold beer, and "smell the roses". Come back in whenever you feel like it. I've only been here a short time, but I can see that there are some good people here. Don't cut yourself off from them.
 
zenith, sometimes we all need a little helped being pulled through the knotholes of life.

The only thing I can change about life is my attitude towards it. Count your blessings. Instead of dwelling on all the **** going on in your life, spend some time looking at the positive side and the things that are going good. If we spend too much time looking at the negative stuff, the whole world will begin to smell of ****. Acceptance and positive action are the keys.

Welcome back to the far side.
