hey guys - just wanted to update all of my friends on the current situation with Sci and Mars. it turns out that they found a worthy (and cheap) beater....no i mean excellent vehicle that will be reliable for a while...and it was closer to them then having poor MDR and his wife have to drive up to Oklahoma from Texas.
i spoke to MDR on friday night and he gave me the news. i also got to speak to his wife who sounds so awesome that i could probably hug her until she was sooo squished. it was an honour that my friend would want me to speak to his wife. i don't care what he says - i think he is one of the most awesome men i have ever met! and i am filled with pride when i think that he calls me friend. jambaloney feels the same way. but jambaloney just wishes that MDR would slow down a little on his projects - teehee. because when i see MDR's latest project i yell - babe! come and see this! - and then jambaloney gets that look on his face. you all know what i mean!
i just heard back from Sci and she and Mars are very happy with their crap-ass - no i mean awesome - second hand vehicle. she is overwhelmed by the accident, the support, the prayers, the donations, the trying to find a vehicle, the fact that MDR offered his - she has to go into the Big Town tomorrow to register their new vehicle. i can only imagine how overwhelmed she and Mars are - i am overwhelmed and it didn't happen to me!
again - i thank all of my friends who jumped when i called. it fills my heart with joy to know that there are really good people out there in the world. i have always believed that, even though both jambaloney and i have been through experiences with people where we felt used and to be frank - abused. it is so nice to have a community here that you can really count on.
from the bottom of my heart - i thank you all for being here. i thank you all for your concern, your caring, your willingness to help people that you have never met.
my friend Rick said that he helped because he received help once and he believes in "paying it forward". i can't think of a better way to say it. you people have enriched my life and i don't know the proper way to say thank you for that.
so i will leave you with a quote from the movie 'What's Eating Gilbert Grape". Leonardo di Caprio plays Gilbert's (Johnny Depp's) brother, Arnie. at the end of the movie, Arnie says to Gilbert "say thank you, Gilbert. say thank you".
thank you.
Glad things worked out for them!

DeleteCool! Great news & I'm happy that things are looking brighter for them. :-)
ReplyDeletehobo - it really is pretty cool eh? do you want me to add you to our blogroll? let me know.
DeleteIt never ceases to amaze me how the blogging community can come together to help someone, often times someone we have never met in real life...sometimes someone we've just heard about because someone posts a link to a blog about them (which is how I ended up here). It's good to know that there are still AWESOME GOOD people out there. It gives me hope! So glad that things worked out for Sci and Mars and I hope things continue to get better from today and into the future. :)
ReplyDeleteMammaTea - i couldn't agree more! and it blows my mind the way that the blogging community always comes together. thank you so much for stopping by - would you like me to add you to our blogroll?
DeleteI'm so happy to hear they are getting back to normal.
ReplyDelete45er buddy - you and me both. i think they can both sigh a sigh of relief. PTL! thanks buddy, eh?
DeleteKymber,
ReplyDeleteWe have our immediate family members (husbands, wives, kids, parents ect...) and we have our 2nd family (all our blogger friends). Life is good!
Sandy - you said it. that's exactly what i mean by my last few posts. maybe i can get you to guest post here and say what i mean? no really, would you?

ReplyDeletedid not tell us what they got......
ReplyDeleteWarlock - i am sure that Sci will let us all know on her blog when she gets caught up. but we all got to promise not to laugh. and that's probably not gonna be easy buddy - bahahahah!
DeleteI just had to come by and give you all a very heartfelt thank you from both of us. Your kindness and prayers have made a miracle in our lives. I wish I was as eloquent as kymber but .... lol I'm not! You have all touched the lives of folks in ways that is hard to express.
ReplyDeleteMy heartfelt thanks to each and every one of you.
P.S. Warlock... if you promise not to laugh I'll tell ya soon! hehehe

Thank you again for your kind words. I am glad it all worked out for the better.
It seems I missed everything, sorry I wasn't able to help out but it sounds like things are on track up North.
ReplyDeleteI am so happy to hear things are working out. I know what it feels like to feel absolutely helpless and I am so glad our bloggers were able to come together and help. Yall are a great bunch of good people!
