VAPHEAD is a jerkhead,or "excuses inc."

Hang in ther man!....The best line in the whole post is "that Family comes first" you have your priorities right. Sometimes life knocks you down, but family picks you up, including your HAMB family!

 

Congrats on tossing the coffin nails...that's the only thing better than getting over the flu...everything else will eventually fall back into place...

It's great that you quit smoking-best thing you could do for yourself and your loved ones. We don't know each other, but from your posts, you've always seemed like a stand-up guy. Every reasonable customer will appreciate what you're going through and your need to get your family straight first. They'll wait,knowing you will do your best to get back on track. The rest aren't worth having as customers. Best of luck and good health to you and your family.

 

eric things always work out , you have always been "first cl***" to anything we have needed here at the shop...dave backstreet kustoms

 

Family First...It'll all work out. Good Luck and congrats on quitting smoking...That was the best Christmas present my Mom ever gave me when she quit 35 years ago.

 

Eric, hope your mom-inlaw is ok.
Its posts like this that make this place we call HAMB. And yeah that flu is brutal, I was afraid to fart for weeks cuz I thought it'd be a splash instead
Hopefully you'll make the Roundup. Hang there...

When I got to the "stopped smoking" I couldn't help but laugh (sorry). It made me think of Lloyd Bridges character in "Airplane". "I picked the WRONG day to give up cigarettes!"

Hang in there, communication is key when things turn to ****, and you were up front and let people know what's going on. Folks can be damned understanding when they know the facts. Hope things get better for ya.

You can eat an elephant one bite at a time...but if you look at the whole elephant, you can be overwhelmed.

the **** kinna pills they have you on larry??????

good luck with not smokin bro! i ran out the other day and went 3 hrs without one...thought i was gonna lose it!!! hope all goes well with mominlaw.......see ya at the drags bud...

 

Well none of those issues would even matter if you didn't give a ****, damn sometimes it would be easier to just be a *****...

Anyway, best wishes and prayers offered up for you, and those cigs you need to give um up the same way you smoked them, one at a time. Every time you think you want one, remind yourself that you really don't.

 

I wish there was some way I could change the ***le of this thread to something like " VAPHEAD is human". I believe the responses speak for themselves. Take your time and pick it up at your own pace.

 

Hang in there, and thanks for all the help on my build!

 

Hang in there eriC..Family first...Parts can and will wait..Glad you quit the cigs now you will have more Hot Rod mad money.....

 

hey eric! take it easy...family comes first!!

Congrats on not smoking. Lost both parents too soon because of cigarette smoking. I wish my Dad was still driving the coupe. I have a floor repair and seat mounting to work on before I need the rear backing plates.

Family is always first.

Take care

I bought my first set of frame rails ever from you, and I'll buy my second and third from you too.

 

I'm in no rush for my parts, whenever you get to it.
Good luck with everything.

 

Sounds like you have a following dude....I don't know you but good on the smokin thing....been 23 years since I quit... Always" FAMILY FIRST " ....everything else will fall in place.......pete

 

Life is what happens while your busy making other plans. (John Lennon)
Hang in there Eric. All things must p***.
Just your post speaks volumes about you.

 

Eric,
Hang in. Nice job with quitting smoking, the best thing you can do for you and your family.
When you are back on your game, lets talk parts I am going to need.

 

I think "Family first" is a given. That said I have had pars ordered for a month now and need them. It is holding up getting a car shipped out of the country. I think the least you could do is return a phone call or send a PM You know its hard to take care of your family if you don't make a living. OK FLAME ON GUYS

 

Eric, I don't know you but you'd better do a search on here because the folks I know that DO know you will say otherwise. I've heard NOTHING but good stuff out of Riley Automotive so keep it up and your reputation will preceed you.

 

Hang in there Eric!

 

Thanks for lettting everyone know the situation, sorry about this but I ordered the parts I needed elsewhere as I didn't hear back from you. Next time though - my hard earnt is yours.

thanks

Bob

 

Family is definitely first . . . but coming from somebody who has been through a LOT of tough stuff while running a small business, you just have to strike a balance, or you run the risk of having a failing business in addition to family drama - and believe me it CAN get worse! When you're out of money and your reputation falters . . . everything will be much worse.

The #1 thing is communication -- no news is ALWAYS bad news, so just let the people who have ordered stuff from you know what is happening - they have lives to live too. I ordered some special parts a couple years ago -- were supposed to be done in 2 months . . . took 2 years, but the guy kept in contact with me and gave ME the choice as to how I wanted to handle it. Some guys may cancel orders - that is their choice, but they deserve to have a chance to make it.

Just a few more cents . . . from a guy who has walked the walk . . .
