(Read 3913 times) TOR-RED-AAR Global Moderator Posts: 490 Gender: Having the worst month ever!!!!! 12/24/06 at 3:36pm Its gotta be getting better soon. This has been the worst month ever for me since I can remember. Last night I found out a really good friend of mine had a massive heart attack and died, my mom needs an operation on her legs for a vascular disease which causes blood clots and the Dr tells her shes a walking time bomb..which means the clots will eventually work their way to her heart or break off and move there on their own, either way they will eventually make it to her heart. Weve had voluntary layoffs at work which put a serious dent in the wallet right before xmas. Just had the stomach flu for 3 weeks etc. etc. etc. Even thought about selling the AAR Registry and the .com rights to my site and everything that goes along with it cause im just mentally spent. Im also mentally drained from dealing with people on other web boards and all the mis-information and hate and discontent they cause. The last year ive dealt with people who post information as being correct and or gospel and they show proof in the form of pictures, but not pictures they themselves have took but pictures from E-Bay auctions that someone else has taken and they know nothing about the history of the item or car they have now copied paisted. This is a GROSS example of mis-information and misleads people on every level. I've had to deal with parts vendors who make 2nd rate parts argue their point till its nothing more than a broken record of again misinformation to only make themselves look good or as all knowing which they clearly are not. While I started my site and web board to help people find answers its hard to participate on other boards when everyone is a text book know it all and is willing to argue with you at the drop of a hat because they have organized 30 car shows and have half assed restored a car they know half the history on but sit and say absolutely they know the complete history of that car. IT GETS OLD!!! And im tired of fighting the good fight. I put this board up for people to use to get the correct answers they are looking for. People on other boards ask for an AAR and T/A forum when there is one right here, but its not good enough to come here and use it they have to have one somewhere else. Put all the things ive had to deal with this month along with the last 2 years and I hope you can understand where im coming from. I hope this is it and things get better cause ive had enough.

Reply #1 - 12/25/06 at 1:19am Look up on the bright side. Your still alive, not just alive but alive to have your blood boiling. We have all had real hard times and we will get through them no matter what happens or what decision is made in the end. I sure do like this board and would be very disappointed to see it disappear. Even though there isn't much traffic, pretty much everything gets answered here. I have had unsuccessful attempts at information on other sights that I found here. I am very appreciative as to what you are taking upon yourself to do with the registry and .com. One thing that I can say about your mom is she is still here now and now is all the time that you have to enjoy your life with your mother so don't let life take the little bit of precious time away from you now. Car guys all seem to talk god like crap it seems. I am young in the sport and often get the run around from just about everyone. I don't have alot of money to play with in this field so I don't get taken very seriously in any situation. Me and my friends joke about how I am a picostimous, or sucker fish, in a huge ocean of sharks ready to eat up any oportunity that I get to own a rare or cool car. I just try to keep my chin up and don't let the world beat me down, no matter what blow it throws at me I will stand up and walk. Really, I and many others would hate to see this forum page disappear. This is a part of my daily routine and has helped me in many ways and hopefully more to come. Merry Christmas and I hope things look a little brighter for you soon. Back to top IP Logged GURSAVSKI Global Moderator Posts: 218 Gender: Re: Having the worst month ever!!!!! Reply #2 - 12/25/06 at 5:08pm Jeff: Think of it this way--it's either the Creator issuing you challenges to see how well you will cope or it's the devil hoping to make you appreciate the conditions in hell, if that gets to be the final destination. Seriously, all the issues with "the know-it-alls" should be minor irritations. Eventually, with a little education and time, even the MoRons will probably come around. The other board(s) seem(s) to have a small number of "pot-stirrers" or idiots that make participating in their "discussions" very frustrating at times. It's a relatively small number, but they always seem to have an opinion on everything and chime in whether it contributes to the topic or not. (Recently, on one of those other boards, Ken Bowser asked for some information on a particular Challenger showcar and got no info, only a bunch of unneccessary opinions about photos he posted in regard to his inquiry. Did it help his search or aid anyone's education of that particular car? No, I'm afraid not, but that tends to be what happens on THAT forum.) You don't have that behavior on this board; this is a site that presents good info and discussion for people seeking specific knowledge for their area of interest. In my opinion, it would be a very bad thing to lose this forum, all this information, and the website DEDICATED to the preservation, restoration, history and enjoyment of the AAR Cudas, T/A Challengers, and all E-Bodies. No one will be able to present this information as you have. The site is a reflection of your dedication, committment and efforts in this hobby--it's as simple as that. Take a step back, take a deep breath, and count your blessings. Things get tough at times, BUT they can always be much worse. No matter what seems deeply troubling--somewhere--someone has it MUCH worse than any of us do. If we can examine their situation, we'll find that what we have is nothing by comparison. Rejoice in the fact that your mom's condition was diagnosed and treatment can perhaps alleviate that condition. Take good care of your mom--she's a nice lady. Jeff, hang in there--things WILL get better. Try to enjoy the holidays and stay in touch. Back to top woulda, 'cuda, shoulda!!!

Reply #3 - 12/25/06 at 10:05pm Jeff Sorry to hear about your mom & your friend. i truly am. i lost my dad a coupla years back. i still miss him. One thing i have found in this life, is that there are months from hell, and years from hell, and that there is usually always someone worse off then oneself. there are lots of sayings, most with a kernal of truth, like "if if doesn't kill ya, it'll only make ya stronger" and such, sometimes they help, sometimes they don't. what may help is to know other folks have gone thru bad times, and have made it thru, and they are cheering you on from the other side to get you thru it. I am an eight year cancer survivor, my wife had open heart surgery two years ago. we have had out months, and years from hell, more than once. It was tough at the time, even gruelling, and we know that our Faith has gotten us thru, that no one is alone, and that all bad times have good times to offset them. (Just take Job as an example.) and know that there is One who knows all your sturggles, and is there to see you thru, you can simply seek Him, and ask. You have friends here who want to see this board continue, so don't give up hope! Back to top IP Logged Cuda Hunter Junior Member Always looking for a 1971 on the side of a barn.

We look here hoping to see another post where you say you are doing better. Thanks for everything.

Reply #5 - 05/05/07 at 4:01am Jeff, I hope things are getting better for you now. I know what you are going through. I lost my mom in 2005 and my husband lost his dad in 2005. My husband's mom was diagnosed with cancer in 2005 and my husband has had to have stents put in his arteries in 2005 and 2006. As you can see we have had a pretty bad last couple of years also. At least my husband has not had a heart attack. He has been in the hospital 4 different times for stents and so far he has always had the same symptoms. We he has those symptoms we go to the VA hospital and they take care of him. His stents are reblocking up. Enjoy the time you have left with your mother. So far my husbands mom is fighting the cancer she has. Just take a deep breath and enjoy life. I hope you continue the board it has really helped us. Don't worry what the morons say on the other boards. They do not know what they are talking about and most of the morons are just kids that think they know it all. We have run across a lot of morons in our lifetime. Keep looking up and things will get better.
