True. He still has more rep than Kyle, Lethesoda, AlphaMan, MiniBorg, LizK, Xerafin, and quite a few others. But I would bet that his rep is decreasing overall lately, rather than increasing. And at the same time, oddly enough, anyone he negs increases in rep overall. The world is indeed a strange place...
I could go into how I feel about you at this moment, but I suspect it would cause computers all around the world to spontaneously combust from downloading the flamage. Right now, all I will say is you need to learn when to keep your opinion to yourself. Shadow...you know I love you. PM me your info so we can see if there is anything Zel and I can do for you and your family materially..you know sizes and such and the kinds of stuff you need. We are also in when an account is set up...every little bit counts at a time like this.
Short of $$ right now - took a vacation and then had to do some house repairs so nothing really free right now. However, I might have some stuff (if I can take Mom into parting with some things) that I could send. What do you need in things like utensils, pots and pans and dishes and other stuff? Make a list and post it as well as sizes of clothes.
Provide a mailing address, and I'll send a can of chicken noodle soup. Generic mind you, not Campbell's.
Ancalagon: Things are in process - much depends on coordinating with Shadow himself, and he's not exactly able to check email a lot.
Would help but i got ton of bills. Health insurance is higher due to preexisnting conditions. Thank you bean counters. Also i have doctors Specialist bils a bit more expansive then generalist. Also car payments insurance kinda takes a lot out of you. Shep my sympathies to you.
I'll take some tomorrow and the next time i have the technical ability to upload pics you will have them. Asshole.
Out of rep, some of you have it coming. Regarding an account - Phantom counseled wisely not to use the one with my real name on it (though anyone with half Tamar's skills can find it) so i set up another one and have notified him of the name on it - as well as a generic e-mail account if anyone wants more direct contact. As to the questions people have about material needs.... I'll give you some basic sizes but beyond that, general "housekeeping" things (linins and towels and such as that) is a good idea. I am 44 in the waist and take 2 or 3 x shirts...main concern is the length of the shirt - you fellow big guys can relate. no need for anything dressy or expensive please, unless it is a total non-sacrifice. I wear 11 shoes. My wife is 34D and 29 in the waist - usually wears about a 3...no more than a 5 depending on the cut. 7.5 shoes. Oldest son is prob a size 28, 30 or so in the waist (adults sizes), wears large shirts Younger medium boys shirts and 10 (boys sizes) in pants Sweats, shorts, t-shirts...we use more casual stuff than anything...2-3 pairs of jeans at once is all they ever had to begin with. We didn't have much and don't need much, really. In terms of the kind of stuff that can be practically sent in a situation like this. Use your own judgement and know that your willingness hasmy gratitude even if logistics get in your way. To those of you who wold if you could and can't, know that in my eyes it's all the same. I know what it is to want to do more than you can. check with Phantom on the details of the account and hopefully I did it right.
Check your regular account too, I used that one already! Oh, and ignore Flashlight...he's just being a piece of shit and waving his arms around because he knows his opinion is not valued in any way and only has shock to rely on to get any attention at all. Chin up and much courage...better times are ahead.
I'm tapped out now due to two other situations with people in need, but I have a check coming within the next few weeks. When I get it, I'd like to donate too. Sorry for your bad luck. P.S. Flashlight, you worthless piece of shit. If Shadow posts his pic, you should post one of you with your ass on fire. Fair is fair.
Well, since I'm pretty darned close to where Shep is, and aren't living in a hotel, I could put my address down for mailing clothes and such, then drive it down on the weekend.
Ya, we need some place to send goods. I can't send money right now, but I do have some stuff I could send.
I have talked with Shep and he concurs with this plan. Honestly, he doesn't have a place to stash anything right now. So, when Bear is ready, we'll send non-monetary goods to him and Seda and then they'll drive it down.
