The message that Mark added was a personal email to him from me. Since he decided to include it as an addition to his post I have decided to reply on the list.
Mark you say I do not know you but I have known you since you were in grade school. When you were in high school you sold a friend of mine a car that you stated that you had just installed a new motor in it. You sold it to them, if my memory does not fail me for $350, but the new motor used so much oil and smoked that they complained about it. You picked up the car and assured them that you would make it right but after about 3 months you had not contacted them and let them know what was going on. Come to find out the new motor was taken out of another junked car that your father had. After they said they were going to contact someone about this you agreed to give them their money back. It seems like that every time you or any member of your family needs something you always post on the chatlist about all your problems and the financial situation that you are in before you post anything for sale. I have never seen anyone else post such post on the chatlist in order to get people to feel sorry for them to get them to buy their stuff or maybe get money or goods sent to them. I have said to you before in post to you that you just need to just post what you have for sale and leave out all the drama about the other stuff. You sort of remind me of a lady I know that kept going to the doctor complaining about conditions or problems that she had but nothing could be found wrong with her. She would insist that she be admitted to the hospital and all types of test be run and would not agree to be discharged until after she had been there over 30 days. She would do this at different hospitals in the area. Come to find out she had had a insurance policy that paid her a few hundred dollars a day if she was in the hospital 30 or more days. Kind of sounds familiar don’t it.
Mark you say that you are not able to work but in some of your post you talk about all the things you do in your shop such as rebuild parts and what you can do on automobiles as far as fixing them. Well if you can do that for yourself I think that you can do it to earn the money you need to pay your bills and buy groceries. I know lots of people that do odd things around their place to earn extra money for their necessities. I know people that may not be able to work more than 2-3 hours a day but they get up and do it to help better their self. I would hope that in the new year you would pull yourself up and start, at least, look at what you are capable of doing and use that to help yourself out financially even if it is only 2-3 hours at a time. It is time for you to man up.
I will probably catch flap from some of the chatlist readers that have not been here for years and don’t really don’t know you but you opened the door to this. I would suggest that when someone sends you a personnel message that you may want to keep it personal and not leave yourself open for other stuff to be exposed. Those that have skeletons in their closet need to keep the door shut. Just my saying. Good day Mark.
