          Almost lost my life partner this past weekend. Wifey had to have emergency surgery on Sat. We are in the clear now, but man that's scary.


          In short, she had kidney cancer in ~2009, kidney was removed, scans showed it was gone....apparently the scar tissue decided to engulf the small intestine/colon and pull it into the void of said kidney removal, causing the blood supply to be limited to said guts. Doc tried laparoscopic, too much scar tissue, she was split from sternum to groin, disemboweled, fix the problem, then patched back up. Looks like we skated by thanks to modern medicine.

          She is my rock. I don't know how I would manage without her. We still have three teenagers here at home, and a twenty-something in college.

          So happy there is a great prognosis, now it's time for healing.
          Glad to hear things seem to be OK now. Earlier this year a friend of mine, that lives a ways from me, had his wife go into labor and then she passed away due to complications to the birth. He has 4 other children, oldest is around 13 the youngest besides the new born baby is about 4. So now he is a widowed father of 4 plus an infant. I don't know how he does it.

              yeah they can be bought but you're looking at $250k+ for one that is working. Talking about real tanks.

              There was a lawyer in Houston that bought one and had it out front of his house and the HOA got on to him lol

              Edit: on a side note, I actually got an email notification of your post 2mAn...YAY

                  He posts every now and then on FaceBook and you can just feel his pain. I'm so far away but try and give words of encouragement. Even though I know they don't really help.


                  It would help if I would get email notifications. The one I just mentioned is the first one that I got since the update.

                    I hope so too. I now suffer anxiety every time I'm on this forum.

                    Then again, maybe that's not a bad thing (should spend time doing other things).

                        so how are scammers using Paypal now? I listed a part on another forum and immediately got a response which totally seemed like a scam, telling me to sign up for paypal. I replied saying I had Paypal already and asked if he was scamming. He has continued replying to me, gave me a bogus address to which I said I could ship it to him for an additional $150 and to send it as a gift thinking this would scare him off... nope. he wants to know my paypal so he can send it... Im wondering how else I can fuck with him, I doubt he will actually send me money

                          In our case dealing with a scammer, they were using stolen/hacked PayPal account info. Dude bought an $800-900 intercooler on eBay and had it shipped to an address like 6 miles from us. Then a month or so later we got a fraudulent transaction warning from PP and funds were removed from our account. We contacted PP and they initially tried to tell us to eat shit, but we had all the original transaction info saved which showed the confirmed address was in fact the one we shipped to, so we were covered.

                          I ended up going to the address, which was an upscale apartment building, and the door man gave me a concerning amount of information about the tenant. He told me they received over a dozen packages to that address daily and were super shady. The police followed up with us a couple months after that and said they were using the apartment as a hub to receive goods paid for with stolen credit card/PP info and then reshipping stuff all over the world.
