I met James through here. He posted something about being in Vegas while the wife and I lived there. We met and became great friends. We even call each other, send pics, and silly texts. More craziness, his neighbor is a friend I've known for 30+ years. |

I don't know for sure, but I think a few things are playing into it. I have read that there is a shortage of stainless sport models at the AD's. I haven't been in an AD in over a year, I lost interest when this BS started. There are lots of theories about why there is a shortage, the big one being that Rolex wanted to create a buying frenzy. Nothing helps sell shit like a shortage does. They have also limited how much stock they are shipping of the new models. I think they are doing the Daytona thing with all their sport models now.
Another factor has to be the economy. Lots of hours being worked and the paychecks that result. Add in that watches are hot again and a bevy of other factors I haven't thought of also. |

You shouldn't have to apologize to anyone for how you are feeling. Unfortunately there are assholes everywhere in this world and car forums are no exception. Hang in there Jeff |

Let’s just say..... we are an eclectic group put together by a common denominator. As such. We have people that believe in straight talk. No filter. Most of us have a empanthy filter. We understand but dont agree. The rest of us are semi-filtere
I appreciate your candor on these issues. I don’t know if any of this means anything. Believe in others |

I have found in off topic, not only here but the other place where many where their asses for hats is that it can be very therapeutic. I can be feeling a bit down one day, come on to off topic and read issues a person is having. The sympathy replies follow and soon enough, someone comes along and says something stupid and insensitive-but damn funny. I'm laughing til by gut hurts and then I don't feel so bad.

Aerovette.......My best friend, right across the street from me is in a VERY similar situation.
Comparing his situation to yours........His is MUCH, MUCH worse than yours will ever be. His mother, (Living with him since his dad died 8 years ago) died from Alzheimer's in his home. His wife of almost 30 years, left him and filed for divorce. His two bitchy, stuck up, entitlement minded daughters informed him that they hated his guts. I could elaborate on several other events that occurred that shocked even this grouchy old fart, but I digress. All of this happened within 36 days Unfortunately........I got drug into this. Shit. I was/am always there for him to listen to him vent, weep, and moan. I offered advice when asked, and rolled my eyes when said advice was ignored. This went on for a couple of weeks. But, as I said......I am his best friend. And a realist. And.....as his best friend, after a while, I told him what he NEEDED to hear, NOT what he WANTED to hear. Several times. And still do, almost every day. Not gonna stop either. He got mad ONCE and yelled at me, out of anger, and the fact that I am extremely hard of hearing. I told him to **** off, I'll talk to you after you get your head screwed on straight. He apologized profusely in my front yard less than 2 minutes later. I'll see him 4-5 times a week, help him move shit around his house, and listen to updates. And when I head back home, it's a bro hug and a Thank you for telling me what I NEED to hear. YOU, on the other hand, seem to LIKE being mollycoddled. Yeah, your life is pretty ****ed up right about now. It can stay that way, looking at everybody here as "Kicking a man when he's down", or you can man up, accept it and MOVE ON. You cannot force someone to love you.....get that through your head. Your call. You'll most likely get all pissed off about this response, no shits given. IC told you what you NEEDED to hear, and I agree 100% with him. -The Blademaker |

with Blademaker
In 1991 my "darling ex" ran off with one of my "friends". My world instantly collapsed and I was beyond heartbroken. I decided the best way to get even was to do well for myself. It took a bit but I crawled out of the deep crevasse that was consuming me. If you want to better yourself, then your climb to greatness will be your doing. If you wish to drown yourself in self pity, wallow away. I do wish you the best and hope you realize your own "darling ex" has moved on. You should too. Jeff |

@chinaski,
The VB won the big lottery, and we were trying to contact you to claim your share, but since we never heard from you, we just divvied up your share and spent it. Sorry about that. |
