Been on this very special Clemson sports site for 13.5 fun yrs

Mar 20, 2023, 6:57 PM

and certainly realize that I've spent way too much time on it..whether reading, interacting, posting, rewarding or encouraging others, arguing, praying, throwing verbal split balls, starting arguments, teasing, piling on, debating, praising, disagreeing with, etc. with other Clemson fans I've come to like on here and even got to know in person.

And, the time used for doing this fun Clemson blogging habit since Nov 2009 has probably, unreally & sadly involved about 1 full year of accumulative time at 40 hours each week..

when I could have been working my commercial replacement lighting supply business owned last 39 years more often or aggressively time management wise so to have made more $ for a safer & enjoyable retirement, a bigger bank or savings account, or more travel opportunities, greater inheritance portfolio for my family, yada-yada-yada.

I didn't and I've regretted it more than once..one time several years ago even asking the board owners to shut me down off of the site voluntarily where I couldn't post (but could read other's posts) until I asked back on..which they did and which I did for exactly one full year!

It was hard, as difficult as any junkie or lover of KK donuts or an ice cream fanatic could endure cold turkey!

Trust me, I'm a true orange blooded Clemson Fan addict since 1958 who has used this super forum for my daily fix!

Sad but true and it has cost me dearly in many untold ways in time unwisely spent on a computer or cell phone.

But, at 81.9 yrs old it's too late to cry over it now (unless I should live to 99.999 as Joe21 did & enjoyed every day of it, being on TN too) so I'm still going to be seen, heard from & hopefully read!

Lastly, this is a meaningful even if embarrassing confession but a heart-felt one to some of you out there that may want to or need to limit your time here but can't vs time needed for your or your family's well being.

So, take it with a grain of slaw!

Go TiGERs!
