Someone offered me to sell the Clemente. I was at my Mom's sorting out insurance policies. Driving her to Social Security office. Finally I get back on and see a PM that this dealer told me I cost him a $15,000 sale because he wanted to buy my Clemente. Sorry-I'm now pissed. Dad is dead. Mom is a nervous wreck, I am unemployed, and this is what you have to say to me?
On the other had, I had many posts to me of condolences. If I share the bad, I must share the great. One of the members had offered to take my family of 4 to dinner. Now, that is a class act. I had to decline as i do not want my issues to burden someone else. I apprecited his act of kindness, and we shared a few PM. Leon knows who he is.
I will continue to be a member. Why? Because - as I told Leon today in a PM- I will ignore the bad PM I get and continue to enjoy this board.
My replies to my "BYE" posting gave me a better insight. Thank you all.

My wife and I have been going through some really tough times too over the last 4years--she lost her $150,000/yr. job, and has remained effectively unemployed; I am an attorney with his own practice, both personal injury and appellate, and our far-right supreme court has virtually eliminated premises liability cases, which has effectively cut my practice revenue by 60%. I also do criminal appellate work, and my Michigan lay clientele always tries to pay no more than 10-20 cents on the dollar of what constitutes an eminently reasonable fee! So I probably have some small idea of what you've been going through--fear, anxiety, frustration and anger. I THEREFORE TRULY AND DEEPLY SYMPATHIZE WITH YOU IN YOUR PLIGHT. LIFE CAN JUST BE SO BRUTAL AT TIMES!
My deepest sympathies, and will keep you in my prayers while wishing you all the best,
Larry
