Does that mean you have a short fuse?

Ha, I see what you did there, maybe not intentional. But I build bombs, short fuse. good one...
Yes, pisstivity is a word made up by me. Yes, I guess you could say it means I have a short fuse. If there is even a fuse at all anymore.

I'm stealing your word
"Pisstivity" is now an official word in my vocabulary. Thanks Mark! Hope you don't mind me adding that to my grey matter. Godspeed my friend.

Thanks Guys, I appriciate the thoughts and prayers. Like many have said, this is an extended family, if it wouldnt have been for you guys I would have gone nuts by now. I come here everyday and see what you guys have been up to in your shops, check out the Bash, and enter my losing entry in the trivia. I know that I have something to look forward to each and every day.
Thanks for helping keep my spirits up.

During my deployments in the stone ages, I don't ever recall going home when the brochure said we would. It is just a fact of military life, just when you start to see the light at the end of the tunnel, a cave in occurs.
Of course, the brass in DC who issued the orders still get to go home at the end of the day to a martini or twelve.:drink::drink::drink: ....

I wonder what your answer would be if you are in a commercial flight and someone asks you what you do for a living...!
:wink::biggrin:Seriously, dealing with explosives for that long, and still be alive, that is a huge achievement all by itself, your either very smart, very good, or very lucky, I will guess your answer will be, a combination of all three, huh...???
Best of luck...!

Thank you for giving up so much in order to serve our country to preserve the freedom that I sometimes take for granted.

I was going to take a picture of one of our pads and send it in for the photo contest with the reasoning they "allow you to turn pens". I didnt know how that would have went over though... Thanks guys.
