Hey Steve,
Don't feel bad man. I don't think the silly stuff is what Jon's talking
about. He's talking about flames and real bickering and fighting. The
light-hearted banter is good for the DML. It makes everyone take a load off
and have a good laugh, myself included. I look forward to posts such as
lining your wheels up.....or Jon selling his truck (j/k Jon).....or muffler
bearings. They take the edge off of difficult days. Keep them
coming....;-)

Man,I agree with that also! But I feel guilty as I
type this because I sometimes post silly stuff.But
that is only to lighten the mood,usually.I have been
doing better lately. Steve P.
