Moon, I am having one of those rough times that come along, too. This would be the third really bad time I've experienced in my life, but this time I found that I am more aware of how my own outlook has been affected. It is hard to deal with all of the stresses, without the "little stuff" starting to irritate me.

I find that it helps if I just think of the irritants as "mosquitos"....."noise".....nothing of any importance. You dont' need to worry about them, because mosqitos are never around for very long, anyway. :-)

You have many people on here who share the passions you have for drag racing and hot rods. Many of them also share your disgust for rudeness and confrontation. We hope you will hang around. There are a lot more people here, that are like you, than you think.
