A car forum got together and secretly restored a member's car while he was ill in hospital.

Makes for a nice read.

All credit to the forum members on that site!

There's a boat forum I'm on where one of the members is sick (anuerism I think) and they are accepting donations to help him as well as two people are offering vacation condo rentals to forum members and donating the profits. Very cool indeed.

Oh! I'm feeling very faint these days and my little BeachCraft is not yet ready to go out and whip TailGunner. Oh, woe is me!

Remnds me of a certain guy who briiefly lost his ISP due to a series of rapid-succession financial blows, and the outpouring from a group of friends he never met, offering to provide an ISP, or "whatever it takes"... Y'all remember that?
I promise, I'll never ever forget that kindness. Iboats is stuck with me until my typy-fingers stop moving.

That was a kool read 12er! Predated me here, but gives the warm feelin' I get when I read some of the posts here about lifes' struggles.

I'm hooked on this place too! (I even like the Libs here, even though I luv ta spank 'em fer sport)!

Both my daughters are still young (21 and 23), and so far have had fairly respectfull boy friends and have not yet married. The younger one had a hot headed nice looking young man, (when he drank too much spirits he would get a bit mean), that could of lost his temper n' had to deal with ol' Murky, (which would not be good fer anyone as you were advised).

I was carefull not to interfer as she would have done the opposite of what dear ol' Dad wanted. They just broke up 6 weeks ago, but were on good enough terms where she let him come to her party on RR island 7/4. I advised her to not be with another guy, (and thankfully she did what I asked), which is very rare! JR
