fingers crossed for brighter better days ahead!

just hang in there its only time, and time always passes.. once you hit bottom there is only one way left to go.

That doesn't sound like a bad idea. Maybe I could invest in one of those for my girl. Nothing says move the h3ll out of my way like an exoskeleton.

Living day by day is a regular thing on my life. Yes the hole does get deeper but that just leaves more fun for you to put the truck on 4x4 mode and haul a$$ out of it,lol

Hang in there AlaskanEX. No one ever said life was fair. It just sucks when the carpet is yanked out from underneath you. Think about it this way, and I speak from experience, take what happens to you, good, bad, or ugly, learn from it. It builds character and who you are. You do have choices, live or die. I chose to live! Everything that has happened to me has made me who I am today. I could go on for hours but I won't. Your a smart guy, you will figure it out. One day at a time is sometimes the only way. Don't worry about tomorrow for you do not know what tomorrow holds. Get through today first.

thanks guys!

well she went in for the est, its gonna be close to $4k and he thinks it'll go up after they get into it.

new rear pass door, new QT panel, painting pass side front door. basicly the whole side of the truck..great!

luckly shes still worth a decent amount $7500 as of today so no worry of toatling it. the low miles and creampuff that it is saved it!
