Ok lads, we've all figured it out, ok? Good investigative work. Now, how about let's stay on topic. That'll save poor little old me from having to get out my editing tools and hacking every thread to death. And when it looks like it's getting out of control, please email me and I'll clean up the thread. I read almost every message, but I do miss some of the shenanigans. There's a similar lament to this one on the MAK board. Let's think about this for a minute. Do you think it's that we're all a little touchy because winter is coming or that we're losing too many of our heros in too many wars, or that global warming can't come soon enough for some of us? Ok, so everyone go get a nice Scotch on the rocks, take a deep breath, hum this note *hmmmmm*, stretch your arms out to your sides, touch middle fingers to thumbs making a circle and repeat after me... ohhh-mahhh-nay-pud-may-ohhhhmm. Now, admit it; don't we all love Two Dogs just a little more? Of course you do. God bless webmasters one and all. Thanks, lads. You're wonderful. Pardon my intrusion. Do carry on...

HI Ian & Folks: Unfortunately due to the pressures of business, I have not been able to follow the Boards as I would like to but I do glance through posts. Quite frankly, I do not know what is going on with Two Dogs, but it really does not matter, as I read Ian's post, whereby he hopes to calm down those who are not happy!!!! In my humble opinion, at 63 years old, and loving this bus Industry since 3 years old (so my Mom tells me), there is just not enough Love Understanding or Tolerence in this Crazy World today!!! And after just typing this I realize that the World is not "Crazy", it is just a few individuals or groups who get all of the attention who make it look "Crazy", and the rest of us just get caught up in it, be it the World Situation, Politics, on this and other Boards!!!! My Friends, this life, as we know it, is so very short. Live, Love and Be Happy!!!! Two weeks ago my Family buried my Wife's Brother who died of accute Lukemia. He retire during Sept. 05, had the pension, money saved etc. to enjoy a beautiful life with my sister-in-law, and their two wonderful children. During Oct. 05 he was diagnosed with the disease and began therapy. The next year was spent mostly in hospitals, with a few brief periods at home. Two weeks before he died, my wife and I drove up to the Sloan-Kettering Institute in New York, where Tony was. And by the way, all they do is Cancer and are World Famous, and had reached the point that they could not Help him. (Medicine can just go so far today). Shortly after we arrived, Tony told us that earlier in the day he had informed his Doctor that he wanted all medication stopped!!! (life is so fragile). He had made up his mind that he was ready to meet his Maker!!!! Why do I tell this story???? Because Ian, offers some suggestions of where the poster's stress might be coming from and offering some solutions. The fact of the matter is Folks, in my opinion, if we as individual Americans, Canadians or other folks reading don't get back to basics with regard to Loving, Caring and Sharing!!!, then the Bad Guys have Won!!!!!!!!!!! There are elements in this World who want to see the Democratic, Free Societies Fall, and they can and will do it without firing a Single Shot because they are fighting us with Psycological War Method and in all to may cases, they are succeeding!!!!! LIVE, LOVE AND BE HAPPY, and pass it along with a SMILE!!! I promise you, when posting, if it comes from your Heart, then you will be happier and those reading what you write will sense it and be happier also, and this and other Boards will be the friendly, peaceful places that they should be!!! Thanks for listening!!!! LUKE at US COACH | ||

Thanks Ian, I am thankful for someone taking the time to clean up a mess they didn't make. If I may make an observation; It seems we want good information spread here. When someone thinks they see BS, they respond. Some with tact, some without. I've also noticed some that like to jab & tease others, but get ugly when they are being teased. Then others can't resist & pile on to watch the fireworks for amusement. I suppose we could grow up, but then I'd need to sell the bus & that ain't gonna happen. I guess we'll just have to settle for acting grown-up Oh Yeah, If anyone wants to know why I like being a bus nut, It is because I get to associate with people like LUKE. I too am sorry for your loss, Luke. Thanks for the post. (Message edited by kyle4501 on October 17, 2006) | ||

Luke...sorry for your loss. Have been thru it several times in the past year or two. Cancer is nasty stuff and, as you say, only so much the Dr.can do. We are all appointed to pass on one day, I suppose, and when it happens is not up to us. Good to see you post and thanx for your sensitive and poignant remarks. Our best wishes to you and your family. And Proverbs 3:5 is a great help. Older than you.... RCB | ||

"or that global warming can't come soon enough for some of us?" When global warming stops , there will be no mo' bussin. I seem to remember reading that the ice shield was over 2 miles thick on all of Canada . As it is about half of Canada flees South now , can't imagine what the south would be like , AYYY replacing Y'a All? At least in the south our friends could just go to the hospital when sick , rather than registering on a 3 year Que, or dieing. FAST FRED | ||

Oh YEH!!! I'm all for scotch, on ice, please! Snowballs thrown from the banks of a canal named Trent, built under suspicious funding circumstances, to a place where it didn't matter, for a purpose that it has never met.... Sounds like a good government job to me!!! When it is time to go, may we all be so courageous and content to to join those who have gone before! Peace and smiles, brothers and sisters, we're just visiting this planet... 2dogs, included! happy coaching! buswarrior | ||

Ian and Luke's post have both stirred me to reply in agreement! You just can't help but admire somebody who drinks Scotch on Ice and a Detroit Mechanic; there's no finer people! I must say that I always enjoyed Ol' Two Dogs. He never had his tongue in his pocket! Guy 4905 | ||
