And when it starts it bursts into a huge conflagration that lasts and last and lasts and lasts?.
I hate to admit it, but I have a "bit of a temper". Usually, I can let things slide (very patient), but if provoked enough, I "explode" (never violently). It may take hours or even days to get me to that point. When it does happen, it takes a bit of time before it "goes away". However, I will not allow it to remain into another day.
