Life's a ***** (but I'm giving stuff away, so read anyway)
« on: March 23, 2009 - 05:49:57 PM »
Some of you have probably noticed that I've been absent for a while. Long story short, the replacement job I had fell through and I've been scrambling for a few months trying to survive. That's almost through, one way or another. I have no job, my tax bill is what I have in the bank to survive, and I'm rapidly running out of options. Everything I'm doing right now is a struggle to find a way to protect the Challenger from creditors.

It's almost a given that I'm going to loose my house in the next few months, and to that end I'm going to start giving stuff away that I'll have no place to put and no time to work on. First up, my Paasche double action airbrush, my compressor for the brush, and all the e-body model kits I've been saving to work on. Anybody wants them, they're yours for the cost of shipping.

wow, thats a shot in the nads!!!

sorry to hear of your plight.
have you tried selling stuff locally? just a thought. giving away is awesome, but i dont see it helping you other than you'll have a bonus karma score. never seen a karma sammich, if ya know what i mean.
i hope it all works out for you.

and p.s. not to make light here, but my first wife was a b*$*# as well, im much happier now.
keep your chin up, everything, no matter how awfull it seems to be, happens for a reason.

I'm sure I could,  but frankly my financial problems are measured in tens and hundreds of thousands of dollars, and the hundred dollars I might be able to get for some models is just not worth my time right now.

I understand your situation. 
Everything I do is to make sure not to loose my first hot rod. 
Might even lose the house but I can't give up my original love.

I hope everything works out for you. Seems this is happening across the board for us regular Americans.
Keep your head up, things could be worse. 

I hope someone will put the models to good use.   Good Luck!!!

I did notice you were gone for some time. I wasn't expecting this though. I'm sorry for your trouble. I won't pry, but is there hope of another job soon?

Hey, Mike. Not prying at all. Short form is if there was any kind of job on the horizon I wouldn't have this issue. The job I had shut down in December, was supposed to continue in January...and I haven't heard from them yet. On the plus side, they've left me with a Lenovo Thinkpad  :-\

I truly hope things get better for you. It sucks seeing bad things happen to good people. :(

I'm sure people have sent you PMs already about the models so if you have a kit or two left, please let me know. I love building models :)

Dude, Sounds like you need some good luck... Ever thought about relocating?   Huntsville grew by over 7K residents last year & still needs skilled workers...

I have an 81 dodge truck I can raffle here for you. Pretty much rust free. 318/727. I dont need it.  If I could sell 15 tickets for 50 bucks each, I will donate all the funds to you and your family..
