[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 72656, member: 2189"] Tie and OK2BC have been going at each other on just about every issue for so long I think both of them feed on it and do so for sport. Ignore would never happen between these 2 because IMO it's a love/hate relationship or so it does appear to me! :) It's like watching championship wrestling or something and does provide some fun entertainment from time to time. As for the ignore function, don't and won't use it. I have no problem just using my own personal ignore function if I see the need by not reading or responding to areas I believe are worth ignoring. Otherwise, unless Cheryl pulls the plug based on whatever format she decides to use then I say let it flow and go for it. Every damn one of us are just self serving blowhards anyway. Damn, just admit it and go on!:D Not a thing we say here will change a thing out there so what's the big deal! I will also say this and this is IMO that tie and ok2bc on this subject of pensions is likely a true picture of the greater dilema at UPS. Neither trusts the other and neither is willing to move from their position so in the end what we have is likely what we have and it will either succeed or fail as it is. In other words, start planning for alternatives and have them in place and if you don't need them, you and whoever can blow it on the beaches of the South Pacific or in Vegas or something like that. Or you could do as I hope to do and leave it to a foundation that myself and others are working on starting that would provide locally a nice place of advancing musical arts for children at very low costs for the year including scholarships for economically disadvantaged kids. Hint, Hint! ;) OK2BC, It appears to me you find the term OKie that tie uses as being offensive or insulting. Don't! Roll with! I know what he likely means by it but I happen to see it as a pretty good handle myself. There's an old saying down south (could be elsewhere too) that I like and it goes like this: "I care not what you call me but just don't call me late for supper!" Tony Brown of Tony Brown's Journal on PBS who I happen to admire once said if you walk down the street and someone yells out an offensive name from behind, do you turn around? You only turn around if you've allowed yourself to be conditioned to believe the offense used really does apply to you! I always appreciated the wisdom in that advice and one of the reasons I came to highly respect Mr. Brown. I'd like to call you OKie as a term of endearment if you'd allow it. Might catch on the other way and lose it's offense. Something to think about! But I'll respect your decline just the same [SIZE=3]OK[/SIZE]....[SIZE=1]2BC![/SIZE] ;) [/QUOTE]
