[.. I have a problem having conversations with jerks with chips on their shoulders. It’s my cross I must bear. Goodbye. ..]

I raised three girls that solved all or most problems by slamming their bedroom doors.. Pity their ol' man was a neantherthal primitive.. Took the lock set off the door for about 2 weeks.. and applied weather strip to the door jam.. i.e. door would not make any noise while slamming it..

Thank you for sharing your extraneous reminiscence. *blink* I’ll keep that pointer in mind.
