View Full Version : I'm argumentative, not hateful - really!!

I noticed that over the last couple of days, I have been very argumentative here. I hope no one takes my arguments personally. I am not trying to be hateful.

I think it is the double stress of taking care of a sick daughter (she is doing a bit better now, thank you) and not getting enough sleep. The sun is up before 4 AM and doesn't go down until after midnight. Last year it didn't really bother me, but this year, I am not getting enough sleep. And if you know me, you know that is enough to make me a mean grouchy bear :mad:

So I hope everyone takes my arguments for what they are (I still agree with what I wrote in all of them... I think) and just argues back with me.

:boing:

We all have our days, Clint. May your daughter continue to heal and I surely hope that you will be able to get a full night's sleep soon...

I really don't want this to be a pity party for me. My life is great. I just felt that I had been a little more argumentative lately and wanted to keep everything on an even keel...

I get that way too at times. I don't know how many times I've blown a peaceful day by launching out at someone and starting an arguement. Later I'm wondering why in the world I didn't just keep my trap shut! :rolleyes: :doh:

The way I look at it if I get grumpy and argumentative it's everyone elses fault for not realizing that I'm always right!:eek:

Clint,

Just my two cents worth, I know how not getting sleep can be. I understand. Be yourself.

Well, that was what I really thought, but I was just too humble :banana: to say it...:D

I know I don't know you yet, and I haven't been around long enough to see if you are indeed argumentative...but I thought your post was thoughful, and I just wanted to tell ya that.

Hope your daughter is all better now

Well, I am usually argumentative. It is my nature. But I try to be respectful of those who are wrong (as in...don't agree with me):D .

I think I have mellowed some from the day I wrote the original post. We will see.

Becky (my daughter) is doing fine, now. She was sick for a whole week. I hate it when the kids are sick. But, God has blessed her with health, so I am not complaining (any more).

The sun is still up 20 hours a day, though. June 24 is the worst, so I am not looking forward to it!!

later,
clint

Just admit it Clint. You've got charisma. I need to start a discussion about the Sabbath to get any responses and all you need to do is say you feel argumentitive to get all these posts. Sheeeesh! What am I doing wrong? :D :freak:

Kevin,
I don't know how to respond.... I don't know how much charisma I have. :banana:

I really didn't expect this thread to have such a long life. It is kind of embarrassing, but hey, I have been embarrassing myself for nearly 34 years, why stop now?

Oh well, long live the thread!! of course, saying that will probably kill it!!
