and I want to apologize for my abrasive way of "debating" around here. I'm trying to improve my life in quite a few ways. I'm trying to get in better shape physically. I am trying to be much more aggressive in my wealth building, and last, but certainly not least, I am trying to be NICER! It's hard, but I am trying to think before I type.

Those of you that I have made bad or mean remarks to, I am sorry. To the mods who do a great job around here, I am sorry.

I will do my best to behave, and stay out of potential conflicts on the board.

I hope everyone has an amazing boating season this year, and a Happy Easter tomorrow!

Sounds like you had some life changing revalation, what happened?
Nothing wrong with having a good attitude but you are who you are.
I get that way after a beer and a Zanax, just love everybody.

Hey Skargo, I'm part of a few other forums....tradesperson forums....this place is like church in comparison.

It's too much time on land...you just need to catch a fish...;)

Re: Hi, my name is Scott...

Part of my problem is I've spent years on quite a few crude, more aggressive message boards where my attitude wasn't the worst. That doesn't make it right though, each place is different and I need to abide by the rules or get tossed out on my keister. I've made some great friends here, and want to make more.

Not sure if I had a revelation. I did hook up with an old friend, and as kids we both took some wrong paths. He is helping me build my wealth with real estate, and he is inspiring to me, because of his past deeds he feels the need to be positive, and help people in every aspect of life. I'd like to be more like him! ;)

sometimes you have to do what i do. type what you really want to say. read it ponder on it. then delete it, and start from scratch.

Happy Easter.

I know what you mean about good friends, I have this one buddy that rubs attitude off on me, only it's all bad. But he is a loyal friend that has my back always.

I find money is a very poor measure of success.
When Mother Theresa was asked about the crushing poverty in India she replied " I see plenty of spiritual poverty in America".

The best of life is absolutely free.
I used to make a lot more money, the strange thing is I couldn't afford a boat.!

Things that hang together usually all have the same smell after awhile.

Good luck in your change for the better. You can do it.

:rolleyes:

Re: Hi, my name is Scott...

Hey Scott, good for you! Have always enjoyed WHAT you had to say ... just would sit back, shake my head, and say, if only he could say it a little softer, it would be understood my others. You are not in need of a complete overhaul ... just a little tweak here and there. And the truth be told, we can all stand to evaluate ourselves from time to time and do a little tweaking of our personal lives. To value the people that are closest to us, to be a little more giving and compassionate.

Good luck in your quest to be all that you want to be.

Re: Hi, my name is Scott...

Scott, I'm really happy to see this post. I know you're a great guy and wouldn't want to see you leave. Having said that, there isn't one of us, myself included that hasn't typed exactly whats on our mind at one time or another. A day or two later, you re-read that post and cringe. You wish you could take it back, but its too late.

Your a big man for apologizing. Thanks for reminding us all not to take out our inner agressions on this board.:) When we're in a state of mind that presents an angry, condesending, or argumentative post, we all need to take five and return to the keyboard with better thoughts.

Happy Easter and thanks !

Scott, in an ironic twist this thread will somehow get hijacked, and locked with nothing to do from you.

Just joking, keep taking the happy pills and enjoy.

I'm sure my overall attitude will improve immensely, leaving now to splash the boat for the first time this season!
