I Am Starting To Loose It!!!

[Fargo1]

JR,

Architecture is something in my past now. My meltdown was a trifecta of shit — the housing market crash and resultant close down of my firm, girlfriend breakup, and the Beast... It has been nearly three years, I spent my life savings paying for my therapy, and every time I even think about doing architecture, I see the Beast staring back at me. I tried going back to construction for a year, but even that was too much for me. I don't play well with the other assholes (yes I fall squarely in the asshole column) in the construction biz.

Right now I'm working on my ex-wife's house, trying to get it squared away. Then, who knows?

JR,

First of all welcome to the forum mate. I can understand you wanting to put a lot into your intro post but it's not really that necessary.
We do want to know what country you live in, who you served with and where, but that's about it. Anything extra is a bonus.

The wife has been trying to teach me PATIENCE for the last 26 years. ;) It has had little effect!!! Maybe it's a PTSD thing, with a dash of OCD?:geek:

I don't think any of us really have patience, I think it's partially PTSD and partially military, we hate incompetence. Things should work first time every time just like your weapon.

Anyway, my name is Jimmy.

I have patience ... dammit. :LOL:

What is the exact issue with your attempted post @OldDoorGunner as you seem to be posting above just fine?

You won't be able to post anything with any type of link, email or such, just plain text until you meet spam prevention protocols used here, which are all automatic. You won't be able to even write w w w . s o m e s i t e . c o m, as it will catch it as spam.

If your post has no known links or email addresses, then you should copy it and paste it into a raw text editor, because there is something behind the scenes that is causing the issue that you can't see if your post is being flagged under anti-spam here. If using Windows, open NotePad (not WordPad) and paste the content, select it all, then cut it from NotePad and paste it here. That will be raw text and will remove any behind the scenes code you can't see.

If using Mac, the same thing.

Thanks Jimmy, In writing my intro to tell you the truth, I wanted to take the easy way and keep it short. However I feel you Guys & Gals deserved more than that. That comes for going on a mission with people I have never worked with, I think.

I like the old joke; God give me patience, and I want right now!!! Yes we hate incompetence, but the other one, for me STUPID!!! I have a BAD time with this one......

Well Anthony what got me so screwed was this: The following error occurred:
Anti-Spam prevention. Sorry, but your post count does not meet our minimum requirements. Participate as a member and in time your content will automatically reach the required limits.

If it would just have said Sorry you can not use any links at this time........or somethink like this, I would have know what was going on.....Anyway as you know I got it posted. I use an add on program for WordPad called Jarte Plus, just saved it as a txt file, copyed it and pasted in and it posted......

Thanks for your time Anthony,

J R

I have changed the warning message, so it now reads:

Sorry, but your post count does not meet our minimum requirements for posting links. Participate as a member and in time your content will automatically reach the required limits. This is an anti-spam system.

Hopefully this negates further issues with any members.
