Well I finally figured it out..1st nobody likes the Red Cross..2nd I forgot to include the OMT or the BTW in my endeavors..If I had included them , then it would have been praised to the high heavens..I don't really care now, but I hope I'm wrong..I'd hate to think it was that petty..Nobody knows my heart, but me..And it is good.. I'll still be here for anyone with problems, but I need some space now to get my life calm again..We may be doing something again with Hurricane Rita bearing down on Texas, but this time I'll be sure to ask permission, have a vote, write a referendum, get a consensus, and then initiate a plan of action..By then the Hurricane will be over and half the city will be repaired.So it will be to no avail again..I hope I don't sound angry, I'm not..I'm just a dumb old country boy thats used to doing everything without a coach, or a boss..I have always been the boss..Its hard to be an indian when you have always been the Chief..No more of my crap..I'm out.
Fay, I think you mistook my meaning when I was complaining about not having any help..I didn't mean to focus the complaint towards the OMT as a whole..I was trying to vent about the people in Alton, not pitching in and helping with the work load..I didn't mean to put down the OMT as a whole..I know there are good people in this chapter and I usually get along with them all..To tell you the truth, what ticked me off was the fact that everytime I made a post, it would be read by lots of people, but nobody stopped to comment on anything..Finally I had to bring out the S. word to get a rise out of anybody, and Thank you Fay for answering up..I know I can get abrasive sometimes, but that's just the way I am..When I get off my meds I tend to tell it like it is, as I'm seeing it at the moment..I'm not perfect by any means, and I am a card carrying crazy person..Hope I didn't ruffle too many feathers..Boy I sure know how to push buttons..Forgive me Fay..I'll try to keep the pissin and moanin to a minimum..But this is America..I've been out of action too long..Not by choice but by physical problems..I'll let you know about the sgt.@ arms thing. PS.. by the way I wasn't looking for a pat on the back..Thats not what I needed..But I did need to know that I still had a family out there that was in my corner no matter what I was doing..I didn't get that feeling..Any time any other member stumps their toe or has a fire, there is always post after post to encourage him or her in their time of trouble..When I had my surgery I was lucky to get food past my lips, but Nobody even acknowledged That I was even here or had a problem..Its nobodies fault..We just don't keep in close enough touch with the inner circle..I'll have Ivy give me a couple extra licks when she spanks me tonight..Hope this settles the ruffled feathers , if not then I'm sorry..MB out..
Moon Bear, Ive sat by long enough listening to you piss and moan aboutnot havingany help for the efferts for relief for the people in the Katrina disaster. Giving goes on every day of the year andevery one does it in their own way and time.
Also accusing OMT of being snobs and not careing is just plain wrong.. Most people dont need a pat on the back for a good deed or a help given. You have gone to far putting these good folks down, They are the most caring and giving and fun loving people there are.
Futher more you have never been excluded from anything to do with OMT. Your attending get togethers and functions is by your own choosing. You still are sargent At Arms and are still part of OMT if you want to be.
