I have tried to thank all the people that have helped me and I hope I have kept on top of it.

This site was amazing long before I even found my truck and I learned to value the site when I blew the engine in my truck this summer. Clay and Ed were very helpful in lining parts up for me and so many others were helpful in taking time to call me or send me a message with "how to"s and more. Milleroutdoors sent me a baby's butt when I needed on and Rebelchevy02 got on the phone with me and helped me as I was working on my injectors.

I dropped as many thanks yous on my various threads and I don't know if I dropped reps. I would assume I did but I don't remember.

I need to get my pictures up sometime.

Alex,

Yes you DO need to get those up! If the ones of your engine replacement are anywhere near as good as the ones from your travels, we're looking forward with anticipation!

I can tell you that I learned a lesson on that one. If I have something to give away, I'll need to know who they are and have seen them around for a while before I ship anything off to anyone...kinda harsh but, c'est la vie...

Same here. I've been on the receiving end of some spectacular offers.


Agreed. I feel indebted to the system because of various things members here have done for me.

I feel confident Lisa's not referring to me here...

When Lisa sent me my new'old CPS, i was so thrilled at the mear gesture of it...and when Clay brought me my intake to RRE (for free)...i'm not sure if anything more than a handshake passed between us, but Clay knew i was appreciative...and i sincerely hope Lisa knows too...and for those reasons, the first thing i thought of when i got my new tail lights, was how i could pay it forward to another member...


Thinking back on RRE and Clay bringing me that intake hose, i don't think i ever gave him any reps for it...in my defense, i was a brand newbie and didn't know how to give reps...lol...so, Clay, let me know if i neglected to roll out some reps for you on that and i'll correct that...btw, the intake is still holding strong brother...and Lisa, the CPS is still going strong, with the recalled "gray" one in the glovebox...thanks ya'll

Your confidence is warranted....I wasn't talkin about ya. lol. You thanked me several times. Glad it's working good though! That CPS is damn near an antique!

I fully agree with this despite the school board guy rebuttal. Most of the juveniles I deal with that have bad attitudes have parents that I wouldn't urinate on if they were on fire. Their parents are worse than them so it is not an age thing, it is a garbage thing. Yeah, there are good parents with turds for kids but that is more of an exception than a rule. Just like the good kids from chithead parents.

The general rule is garbage in, garbage out. Some seeds should just end up in the sheets. Yes, I just posted that because I mean that. Ever heard the term "burden on society"? Oh well, I call this job security. Always room in the back seat of my cruiser for those folks. Too bad it costs too much to keep them where they belong for as long as they should be there.

Oh, and I have no problem with the pants thing. They are much easier to catch trying to run with one hand holding up their britches. DUH.

What was this thread about?

Already told you, Merry Christmas bro.

Send a replacement and you'll get confetti in return!

Not always. On one of the forums I was on, I never got my PM notifications. I had to delete my email and re enter it for the thing to send me PM notifications. I am NOT saying it is him but it could be the board also. Why it suddenly stopped sending me PMs I don't know but because it did and the guy was waiting for money, it made me look bad. I always want to pay my bills ASAP.
