Thank you all for the kind words and support, it means a lot to me. When I posted the GDT last night, I had no idea any of this was going to happened. It has been a year since my mother has passed away and I thought I would share with you some of my memories of her. These were not private stories, as I have told them to friends, co-workers, and the staff that took care of my mother. What was private were the photos that I posted. My mother did not like to have her picture taken, so anytime I could sneak a snap of her, it was meaningful for me. I only have one picture of my mother and me together (which I have previously posted) and it is my most cherished photo of all. If my mother knew that I had posted these photos, she would be so mad. She probably would have hit me with the flyswatter I bought her as a child. So when I saw those "Bouncin' Boobies" pictures on the same page of my precious memories, I got quite upset and deleted the whole GDT.

I have an anxiety disorder, just like my mother, and just like her father (my Swedish Grandfather). I always joke about me falling asleep, but it's the pills that I take to calm me down that do it. Before I started taking the medication, I was worried all the time, even about stuff that hadn't even happened yet. It got to a point where I almost died, I had a blockage in my brain which almost caused me to have a stroke. I now have Horner Syndrome which causes me to have a droopy eye on my left side of my face. The surgeon uses me as an example in her teaching class at the University of one of the few people in Manitoba to have survived this. Anyway, with the medication, along with proper exercise and eating well, I am fine and can handle stress much better.

The incident today did not help me and I am having a hard time coping. The last few years of my Mom's life, I visited her every weekday for a few hours, and most of the day on the weekends. I did not have much time to myself, but when I look back, it was time well spent and I will certainly cherish that time we had together. It was very tough doing this and juggling the GDT and Prediction Contest threads, but I managed. Now that she is gone, I have more time, and now my HFJets activities keep me focused and prevents my mind from going to a dark place.

I am not the Internet Police. Posting pictures of "Bouncin' Boobies" is fine, if that is what you want to do. Those that view my posts in the "Humour Thread" know some of my T-Shirt and Meme of the day pictures are sometimes not "family friendly". My issue was that I posted what I thought was something a little different, something I felt was special (at least to me), and it was ruined. It will take me a few days to "calm down" from this, so please bear with me. By posting this message, it will help me immensely in dealing with this and I hope you understand.

This isn't how I wanted the GDT to end up, it was supposed to be something different, I'm sorry...

It is greatly to your credit that you still feel that there is something on your part that merits apologies, and given what you've said about how you are, I completely can see why you would feel that way, but I absolutely assure you: you have not a single damn thing to apologize for. Nothing.

And that includes the time you feel it will take to re-center yourself.

Now, God willing, the Jets will hurry up and start stomping a new mudhole in Montreal so that the GDT can take its rightful tone of abject mockery of those damn fool Habs. Here's hoping it's just a rope-a-dope.
