    I was so pleased about my article. It seemed like a great series I could write about as time went on, followed by a visit to one of the stops. I got a boatload of hits today. Possibly some from the Biker Relationship article, but I'm sure quite a few from the Cannonball Run. I was feeling good. I'm unemployed, my son is going to be a father in a not-so-good way, he's going to Vietnam in 3 weeks, and, well, it just was nice to feel successful for a day.

    Then I got that crappy comment on my Examiner article from someone who is a co-worker of sorts. If you have an issue, wouldn't you e-mail the person? Besides, if someone else wrote about it, and then I got 500 hits, wouldn't you think that maybe I had some readers that the other person didn't have? Just because someone else wrote about it, and my readers didn't see it, then that means my readers are SOL? :wtf: It totally ruined my day.

    Then I saw Chuck's comment about my back..... side, and I felt great. Then I saw HarleysLR comment telling Jack to chill. You guys rock.

    I've been on some other sites lurking around a little and posting a little here and there, but no place is like Bike Talk. I love you guys!

If they are givin you a hard time(in the public eye) over childish bs, they need to be shown for the true people they are - jealous idiots! From now on I'll make sure to find the comment section and keep my eye on you and your backside LOL ;)

    But I have read enough of your writing to say that the other person is not as good of a writer as you ,& I'll bet he's a ugly hard head , So you look better & you write better & most likey have riden longer & rode longer road trips so you win hands down :cool:

    Abby

    I actually gave Jack the courtesy of finding his article and reading it but I put my comment on your page Abby. Ya know, I must be getting senile. I've got tendinitis and arthritis in one shoulder a wonky knee..my skiiing is pretty much done, the hockey is pretty much done, I can't fold myself over a sportbike anymore, Marc just lost a good friend and a bunch of people on a plane to Detroit got lucky when some "zealot" couldn't pull his plan off to blow it up and here someone "promoting" motorcycling dumps on a fellow promoter. I cannot wrap my head around his problem at this point in time. Carry on kid..you're doing us proud..and thanks

    Awww, thanks guys.

    Sleepy, I think I'm done with hockey too, and it's killing me. Until I can get health insurance (on my own), I can't risk it anymore. My hand still isn't right from the wreck, and any stick handling or a good wrist shot wouldn't help.

    Anyway, I'm feeling a lot better today. It's kind of interesting because there are a group of us women motorcycle Examiners who are really tight and promote each others' stories on Facebook. One of them bought 5 custom Snuggies from me for Christmas presents. Then a lot of the guys are total snobs and get snippy about the stupidest things. I don't know.

    OK, off to get some exercise in so I can keep that back side in shape.:roflmao:

    Sorry I didn't read the article Abby 2 more guys I know died this week (heart) so have not been on the board much. I think your articles all rock. My mother always told me and that is, It will catch up to them in the end. Just keep doing what your doing and stick with it and never give up.

    No problem FLHT. I'm so sorry you're going through that. Some jerk really doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things, and I really shouldn't have let it bother me so much.
