It's pretty simple for me. As long as I get more pleasure out of the site than displeasure, and I'm learning and helping others in some few ways, I'll stick around. And, if I stick around I will pay my way and not be a freeloader.
As for the unpleasantness here . . . . well, I've waded through some pretty bad mud and swamp to get to a good duck hole. And, when I have looked back at those experiences, I said to myself, "The gain was worth the pain".
I see most people as fitting into one of three categories: pessimistic, stoic, or optimistic. I'm in the "the glass if half full" bunch. A guy with with 14,274 posts Should Pay His Way. I got one question for you. You being a Farmer, how the hell do you find the time to post 14,274 times. Dirty Harry It's pretty obvious that your perception af what being a farmer today is like, is not in keeping with my lifestyle or how I farm. I get up pretty early each day and begin it with coffee, Scripture reading and prayer. After that, I check in here, the AHFCA site, and the Parker site. Doesn't take that long to read or post a couple things as needed while I knock back my last cup of "jo". This time of year I'm driving a tractor, tilling land in preparation for planting corn, then peanuts. Long days on a tractor alone are made much less tiresome by having a smart phone to stay in touch with my son and grandson as they drive tractors too, and to pass the time keeping up with my friends on this site and the others. Our primary work tractors have GPS enabled auto-steer. We program it when we start in a field, lay out a line on the screen, and the tractor drives itself from one end of the field to the other holding itself in parallel swaths that are accurate within less than an inch. We have to disable the system by moving the steering or tapping a brake before turning on the end, but once we are on course again and the auto-steer is engaged you can't touch the steering wheel. So, I read posts on here and the other sites until I get bored with it. Then, I may bluetooth my phone to the speakers in the tractor and play one of my Spotify playlists. We're not hayseeds posing for a picture in overalls and a pitchfork, not that there's anything wrong with that, it's just not my style of farming. 14,274 divided by 24, divided by 365 = about 1.6 posts per day. I don't see what's so hard to comprehend about that. Now, I have explained it to to you, but I cannot understand it for you. Do your best. FYI, I have so many interests that I enjoy, that I really never do get bored. I shoot pool with a passion, I hunt, I fish occasionally, I work on my shotguns in my gunroom, I'm a deacon in my church, and I lead an adult Bible School class each Sunday morning. My daddy always said that "If you want to get a job done on time, go to the busiest man around and get him to do it." I try to be that man. Thanks for replying to my question Stan, most guys would of had a ''wise'' come back answer, You are a ''True Gentleman''. Dirty Harry

Use the ignore feature. My use of it has greatly reduced the number of political posts I see. I'm glad you mentioned that. I didn't know there was an ignore until you mentioned it, then I went looking for it and found it. The IGNORE function doesn't work anyhow. Virtually all of the people who use it have high estrogen levels, support anti-gun Democrats, and just can't resist peeking. Next thing you know, you'll see them replying to, or complaining about things posted by guys they claim to IGNORE. It's one of the more amusing things you'll see here...
Voting for anti-gun Democrats is dumber than giving treats to a dog that shits on a Persian Rug

[quote=Brian]Sent Dave a check. Dont use Paypal. They are anti gun. I dont feed my enemies. But why did I? I ask myself that almost every time I open a post.
You are former military. Suck it up.
Best,
Ted This I will comment on. and not very gentlemanly. I "sucked it up for 1 year in Iraq and 3 years in Afghanistan. who the F is anyone to tell me to suck it up. I did plenty of that getting shot at, blown up, rocketed, mortared, IED'd, Medically retired because of it. Ive sucked it up plenty. I dont need anyone telling me $hit like that. And I volunteered for all of it. And Id do it again.

just my .02. So, literally, this is your biggest problem at the moment? You don’t know anybody about to clock out from a cancer diagnosis they got a few months past (I do). Don’t have a relative younger than you that has lost their mobility because diabetes took their legs, and they will spend the rest of their days looking at the ceiling of the room they are stuck in (I do). Don’t know a guy at work whose 18 year old nephew threw himself off a building to his death, unable to cope with this thing called life (I do). You are former military. Suck it up. Be there for somebody. Understand humor, and understand the shack nasties are real for a lot of old guys. It will go away in the spring. It always does. Give to Dave. Give to your church, and maybe to a few other boards or worthy organizations. Realize first world problems are often silly compared to real problems, and allow yourself to get past that. Best, Ted Ted, Im surprised at your cavalier response. I have never said shit to anyone here but this time I will. To use your logic, should we just tell that cancer patient to just suck it up? Tell that kid who has diabetes to suck it up? Tell that kid with MH issues to suck it up? That’s a bullshit response. And I will comment on this with regards to your saying because I am retired military I should just “suck it up”, and not very gentlemanly. I "sucked it up for 1 year in Iraq and 3 years in Afghanistan. who the F is anyone to tell me to suck it up. I did plenty of that getting shot at, blown up, rocketed, mortared, IED'd, Medically retired because of it. Ive sucked it up plenty. 30 years worth. I dont need anyone telling me $hit like that. And I volunteered for all of it. And Id do it again.

To use my logic, Brian, the former cancer patient (died, two days ago) has, or, had, a real problem.
What happens on this board, is not a real problem in any ways, means, shape or form.
Best,
Ted

I'd use PayPal on purpose just to see how many of these self righteous drum beaters I can trigger. The members here who decide to inflict their political views on others on virtually every subject have a problem: They're an odd combination of self involved, but with little self awareness. They get off on trolling for angry reactions...It'd be tempting to call them Master Baiters, and to enjoy the play on words...but none of them are anywhere near a master level...they're stuck at about 4th grade, from what I've seen. We'll see how many of them eat this bait and lash out... ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/s2jzrYDN/Larry_the_not_too_bright_bluegill.gif)

,,,,It's not how right I think I am. It's how right I am. You'll want to write that down. If Steve likes it, I’m writing it down. Every time I visit, can always tell the confidence of a WI or CO for that matter, lefty. You might be out shoveling some snow👍
