    Places like this have helped me loosen up alot and not be so sanctimonious about my opinion. Let's face it, opinions are like assholes - everyone has one.

    The dubs do foster an atmosphere of non acceptance of opposing views so it is hard to get away from that

    I tend to take myself MUCH too seriously....could be a carry over from the JW days ( or could just be that I am just neurotic! HAH!)

    ..my non JW wife tells me that she married me"....as is".

    She has also taught me that a cocktail and good sense of humor can just about fix anything. She is right.

    And somewhere in the world it is always cocktail hour. So here is a toast to all of us "serious minded folks" out there; lets find some humor and have a good laugh!

    ( and you don't have to get up for field service in the morning)

    Do you think some of the "board wars" are because of how seriously we might view ourselves or others???

    What's a balmpot?

    Barmy + pot (as in crackpot) = barmpot.

    thanks for the correction B...you can blame that on out UK counterparts that stumbled my spelling and mislead me...especially Celtic the ultimate in barmpots. Sincerely, District Overbeer

    Balmpot is probably right, Valis, just a corruption of barmy+crackpot.
