^ You know, Bill, my ex had a pretty bad temper, too, sometimes. When he was angry (mostly at himself) he would take it out on inanimate objects. He kicked a hole in a door once. I believe most of his was due to a malfunction in his brain as a result of encephalitis as a child, but it didn't make it any easier to deal with. I was never concerned for my own safety, but it is part of the reason we are no longer together. He was/is an unhappy person. It makes me sad...as I know the situation does for you with your son. It can be emotionally draining and frustrating. I hope he can find his way...Good luck.

Everybody -- checking in to see how all are doing. Bill, read the post about the anger issues -- been there with my ex -- same kind of stuff -- he, too, could punch holes through walls and had terrible temper tantrums. It is exasperating living with frustrated people whose behavior is out of control. I've no idea where my ex is at this time or how he's living with his anger, but it is very tiring to try to keep these people happy and also running around trying to repair the damage they cause. Fortunately for me, his anger apparently stemmed from some childhood illness (per his mother), and my children didn't inherit his intolerable rages. They seem to be much more like me and LOVE PEACE, quiet and a tranquil environment -- unfortunately for me, they inherited my need for speed and love fast cars, etc., but . . . it could be worse. 
Anyway, just got the S all clean and shiny and am headed out to enjoy this beautiful sunny day with +1 -- I'm so bouyant from my visit with the Mid-A peeps yesterday that I may even help +1 clean up the vette. Hope all you folks have a wonderful, wonderful day. [btw -- I sure miss grannyrod -- hope she's enjoying Cancun]

Well, krazik backed out some config changes, so looks like I'm back in. It was a real pain to not be able to access MyS2000 page...

Granny comes back from Cancum tomorrow, I believe. I bet it's hotter here in DC than there. Yesterday was pretty unbearable. Today more of the same.
