I haven't been around here in a long time due to real life issues, so I figured I'd drop a very sad update. My wife has been fighting cancer for over 2 years now, and a tumor was just found in her bowels. She's too weak for surgery, and isn't stong enough for more chemo. She has wasted away to less then 100 lbs, and all that can be done for her now is to up her meds and let her go in peace a/o a lot of pain. She will be moved to a hospice soon, and it's just a matter of time.

I want to thank Anti Rice Guy Nick and Hardcore Z Paul for the fund raising efforts they put forth, and to all who contributed. That cash helped keep the lights on and gas in the car and such.

I also want to tank Bad Chevelle Jon and Anti Rice Guy Nick for continuing to keep in touch with me. It is a bright spot to get a call or text and be able to maybe escape reality for a couple of secs with some car chat or to have someone who shows some concern and I can let out a bit with them.

And I also want to say how disheartening it is that there are so many people who can't return a simple call or text, or reach out once in a while. I know everyone has life issues of their own, but come on...5 mins for a phone call or text? I know plenty of people who have all the time in the world to be on these boards, but no time to help out a fellow car broh with just a kind word or two. I know a lot of people are turned off by my "say it like I mean it" attitude, but that's how I roll.

That's all I got for now. I got to get over to the hospital before I head off to work. I'm probably going to be on here looking for some help or views with some things, so if the "sounds of silence" can be put aside for a minute I would like to get some advice or such. I know there are a lot of smart people around here. So, help a broh out if he needs it, OK?

Later,
