I appreciate your concern. I try to respond to every one who responds to me.
That will have to stop. My energy is low.
And I have dedicated my efforts to change.
I spent approximately $17,000 in the last month trying to help others ... read the "What Kind of Fool Do You Think I Am" post, and I detail a little.

Nope. The guy is a complete and utter idiot. Read his profile above. His "hobbies: irritating other people".
Hmmm ... quite a hobby.
Must make a lot of friends that way.
Hey, I just replied to an idiot and a bully.
Sometimes aikido is the best way ... a swift punch to confuse ... then misdirection.
Actually, I got so angry at the guy asking personal questions about a female friend of mine ... that I attempted to punch him out intellectually.
And, it must have worked because he never replied to the post where I posted his profile

.
Because he cannot defend his profile.
Meet him at 7-11 in Arlington is what he suggested.
I said meet me in Richardson. I don't have time for his nonsense.
How would I recognize his ... profile ... left or right lol?
Two friends of mine told me, "Bingo is an idiot."
Hey, he is what he is.
And he is an idiot.
Believe me.
If you don't, I'll send you his crazy emails to you ...
Better yet, read them under the post "What Kind of Fool Do You Think I Am?"
Bingo may fool you.
He does not fool me.
And that's ... no foolin'

Thank you, and I realize that.
Without elaborating, I have gone through a lot in the last few weeks.
Yet, I have learned a lot during that time.
You are right about many things.
If I am wrong, I try to admit it.
I was wrong in comments I made to Bob Nelson and apologized. I read his post too quickly and made a rash statement that was completely wrong.
Bingo made me extremely angry, and I lashed out.
The Bible says turn the other cheek.
I found that impossible.
I will be busy for awhile and will be gone from this site.
As the old song goes, "Don't Worry About Me"
And "Love is in the Air"
