Fellow HAMBer in need.

Discussion in 'The Hokey Ass Message Board' started by Smokin' Joe, Dec 14, 2008.

  1. You're a Wizzard alright. If you were a wizard you wouldn't have to doubt anything !!
     
  2. First read the whole thread, then PM his friend for details before you start typing. Just a few helpful hints to help you get the taste of your foot out of your mouth.:(
     
  3. I guess all things have a way of curing them self's. I help plenty of people in my own way on a regular base, just read any of my previous posts. I like to be sure it's a Helping Hand and not a Hand Out. There was No attempt to be Negative about this Post or to attack it. Some of you obviously know first hand what's going on but the rest of us are a World away. Given enough information we Help also. Validation was all I wanted. That is the Direction I was headed so what's up with Customline Vicky Jackin up my Signature? Makes you look like a Smart Ass. And Vintagehotrods My Foot is not in my Mouth. I doubt anyone reads every single post on every thread they open. So now Oldfart's issue is solved and some of us know more about others than we did before. How about we just get back to being Car guys helping each other out and leave the Snips on the shelf?

  4. Damn dude....didn't anyone every tell ya 'if you don't have anything good to say, don't say anything at all'
    You read the first post from the father, and then you jump here and call it a scam? I'll assume you were planning on donating right? that's why you need someone to dig up the obituary? death hurts, I know, unless you were planning on donating, there is no reason or need to validate this....
    Sometimes it really is better just to keep your mouth shut....

    Oldfart - I am sorry to hear about your loss :( I can't even imagine what you have been going through.

    The other thread got closed before I could offer condolences. I will say a prayer for you and your family.

    Please keep it Fred. It wouldn't be a bad idea to seek out some grief counseling. This is an awful loss, if I lost my son I'd lose my religion. So when my card arrives, just use my gift toward that. You need it, I know how cheap the VA is about counseling. Seek out a local LPC, they can't bill VA or Medicare/Medicaid, but they are the best. My wife is an LPC and is the best counselor there ever has been. Just be safe, OK?

    Oldfart - So sorry to hear about this. Some counciling goes a long way here (my experience). Maybe you could use some of the donated money for that? Free stuff is available from Hospice groups, etc and it's excellent. Maybe some day you'll look back on this as a new beginning (again, that's my experience)...

    Fred, I'm so sorry to hear this. It's only been a year since I was in your shoes brother, I lost my son the same way. it's hard, the hardest thing a man will go threw in his life. I lost my wife of almost 20 years and that was hard but when my son took his own life at only 22 years of age I blamed myself for it. If you ever need an ear or a shoulder to cry on call me, we can cry together.

    Olfart, I want to send you my condolences that you even have to read this crap. It's hard enough to go through this without having it questioned of it's truth. I will tell you, when my mother passed away, I took a few weeks off of work. When I went back to work, the 'Bully'(maybe P-n-B) made a "yo Mama" comment, and that I just said that to lay out of work.........I broke his jaw. I do not tolerate that type of disregard. If there is anything you need, you let us know. There are some Hamb'ers who would bend over backwards for you. I'm gonna try and scrape together some dough and send you.

    Mott

    Oldfart, my condolences. I Just had the opportunity to read through this, and I sent a paypal even though you asked not to. As others said, please use it for what you need right now.

    Please know that I do work at a public University and often I work with donations such as yours. You should know that what you and your family did is really one of the biggest gifts that can be given to all of us.

    Tip of the day: PM's are a handy tool.

    To Old fart .... Although your sorrow is a very personal thing that no one else can truly share, find strength in knowing the HAMB is here.
    I lived in Daytona for 22 years, my brother lives in Port Orange, my kids went to school in Port Orange, I am sure we have crossed paths somewhere out there.
    Stay Strong.
