1911 gobang has had some major shit happen to him as he said. Hell I lost 2 houses, 2 unfaithful wives ,my mother ,father ,a brother and sister all passed away.Everyone has gone thru pitfalls. I had to sell my Harley and Kawasaki mean streak because of a work related injury so that I could pay bills ,workers comp payments didn't come close to paying the bills. I've sold several of my more expensive Smiths to pay bills in the last couple of years. They were an investment when I bought them and paid dividends when I needed it. My wife works ,makes good money ,she buys what she wants and I do the same I don't ask for her approval and she doesn't ask for mine. As for thick skin, Hell I have rhino skin. No comments from anyone is going to piss me off enough to make me give up something that I like and this forum is one of those things. If someone gets under your skin hit the ignore button and you won't see any of their posts. Put on your big boy panties and stick around .
