I tried to post this as a thread but someone apparently thought I was violating site rules. I have seen quite a number of other threads that are similar, i.e. the Fairness Doctrine thread that weren't shut down so I am left scratching my head as to why mine was singled out. I got no message that it was being yanked. Just mysteriously vanished like it never existed. Spooky. Kinda reminds me a little of 1984. Anyway what I wanted to share was an email I received so I will share that and let the rest lie.

Yesterday on my way to lunch at Doe's,  I passed one of the homeless guys in
that area, with a sign that read "Vote for ****, I need the money."
Once in Doe's my waiter had on an "**** 08" tee shirt.
When the bill came, I decided not to tip the waiter and explained to him
while he had given me exceptional service, that his tee shirt made me feel
he obviously believes in  ****'s plan to re-distribute the wealth.
I told him I was going to re-distribute his tip to someone that I deemed
more in need--the homeless guy outside. He stood there in disbelief and
angrily stormed away.
I went outside, gave the homeless guy $3 and told him to thank the waiter
inside, as I had decided he could use the money more. The homeless guy
looked at me in disbelief but seemed grateful.
As I got in my truck, I realized this rather unscientific re-distribution
experiment had left the homeless guy quite happy for the money he did not
earn, but the waiter was ticked that I gave away the money he did earn.
Well, I guess this re-distribution of wealth is going to take a while to
catch on, at least with those doing the work.

PS if you (moderator that yank said thread) plan to delete this please have the courage to message me and explain why. Notice I removed any politician references.

It has been a while since I wrote a blog. I do so now to present how I view myself to the world. I have been accused of being overly sarcastic in my posts. While I will agree that I do engage in sarcasm from time to time, a better description of my personality would be facetious.

fa·ce·tious  /fəˈsiʃəs/fuh-see-shuhs]

That definition more closely describes how I percieve myself. I realize I have as my signature: Checkerboy=Sarcastic. I perhaps should change that so as not to give the appearance that I want to ridicule people. I have the uttmost respect for just about everyone I have met here at LDS.net. If I have offended anyone in anyway then I apologize. I am a straight talker and don't put up with Political Correctness. I will call it like I see it. If that upsets you then please don't read my posts. That is something I won't apologize for.

There are certain people that I know I can be sarcastic with and they won't be offended, perhaps I have become too loose in applying that behavior to others. In all my attempts at communication, for the most part, none have been to deride or belittle others. In the cases where I have, generally, I have done so in a spirit of self-defense. I, along with many others, need to learn how to not get offended so easily.

So class, to summerize:

1. Checkerboy now=facetious
2. Checkerboy hates PC (not that PC, I love Prison Chaplain)
3. Checkerboy needs to learn who and who he cannot be sarcastic with.
4. Checkerboy needs to not let more things slide off his back, like water on a duck.

So I had a friend. This friend was a good friend. This friend always listened to me. This friend I believe truely cared about me. Then I did something stupid. In order to impress or gain favor with a new friend I decided that my old friend wasn't who I thought they were. I shunned my old friend. That made my new friend happy. But it made me sad.

Well as time went on I learned things about my new friend that I didn't like. I realized that my old friend was probably right when I was told to be careful. I wish I hadn't done the things I did to my old friend. I wish my old friend would forgive me. I have learned a valuable lesson. I have learned that friendship is more important then anything else in this world. I have friends but I miss my old friend.

I am writing this blog to let everyone know that I am going away. I don't know for how long. But due to circumstances beyond my control I feel it would be best for me to go for a time. With my divorce finally coming to a close and a couple other events in my life I feel that now is the best time to focus on me and things I need to do to become a better person.

I have made quite a number of good friends (and a couple enemies) on this site. I appreciate all the good times that we have had. I hope to keep in touch with you all. If you care to contact me here is a couple email addresses.

rj_hancock@yahoo.com

checkerboy33@hotmail.com

I will also stop in from time to time to check messages and comments here. I may pop up randomly on the forums if anything intrests me but I won't be in the chatroom any longer.

So Mods you can all breathe a collective sigh of relief that you don't have to worry about good old Checks saying something inappropriate, at least for a while.

Have a great day everyone.
