This is an auction to benefit Kimber and the Kids.
If any of the rest of you have some gear around you could let go, we will be happy to help.
You offer the gear, we put it up on eBay, when it sells, and you get e-mail confirmation of payment from Kimber, you ship it.
If you have something to donate, email myself or Alan Street.
I have received several e-mails from people with a chip on their shoulder for Mick. Mick is dead, leave him be.
This is about helping a young widow and her two little ones. If you can help, please use this opportunity.

David Brewster - 03 Nov 2003 16:47 GMT I agree. I didn't like the guy - but that's no reason to relish in his death (my God how horrible is that - some people - just have no sense of tact). But regardless of how I or anyone felt about the guy - Kimber and the Kids need the support.

I still consider you a friend despite what you did and how you dishonored myself and my husband.. I even had the wallhanging on the table of his special things at the memorial service. I guees you do not feel the same way. Seems to me it would hhave been better to sit quietly and allow people to do whatever they choose. You mail was very hurtful.
Oh yeah the "running off to Seattle thing" I am not running off on vacation -- I am here for a job and to see if this is where I want to move to. I need to make some changes in my life, and soon so my babies have food, clothing and roof over their heads. They are in good hands as well as have thrie teachers and school councellors watching over them as well. If they neeeded me today I would be on the next one out of town. So don't make this out like it is a vacation party time. I am looking at securing a place to live and a job to cover the bills. Woundn't you agree that thinking ahead and taking care of your responsibilities is an important thing?
Kimber -- The funny thing is that I originally got online to learn more about diving and meet other divers but I never realized that it actually happened. Sure, so some of them are in other parts of the county and some even in different parts of the world but we're all friends. We're all part of the same community. Mickey's passing helped me realize this and for me that is the silver lining to this very dark cloud.

Dead silence.
He said it a bit louder, "LAWYERS are a.sholes!"
More silence.
He stated to leave, but gave it a last try, "LAWYERS are a.sholes!!!"
Some fella named Gregory who was sitting next to him finally stood up and floored this trouble-seeker in one swift punch.
"Were you insulted because you are a lawyer?" asks he.
"No, I am insulted because I am an a.shole!!!" said the puncher.

Greg Mossman - 06 Nov 2003 20:59 GMT > "No, I am insulted because I am an a.shole!!!" said the puncher. Thanks, Bob.
Sorry I didn't make it out to LAX to let you buy me a drink the other night, but I was down with a cold. Let me know the next time you're coming through here which is probably, what, another couple weeks?
I'm considering another trip to Tahiti early next year (Feb?), entirely land-based this time. We'll do Moorea again and I'd like to see Bora Bora too but I've heard it's overdeveloped and the diving isn't so hot. What was your Bora Bora experience like and who do you recommend for diving? (Yeah, I could dig out your trip reports on Google instead of asking you, but since you're back home again I figured you're probably getting bored already.)

I caught this one just in time.
Another couple weeks? How about this SUNDAY (two days from now)? :-) But I won't have time to buy you a drink then because I have only a short time to make it to the cruise ship that afternoon.
HOWEVER, I just learned the BAD NEWS that I may have to stick around LAX for a day on Nov. 14. If so, then you may be able to cash in on your drink offer.
I am just starting to work on the DETAIL of how to get my flight- booking out of the soup. The cruise returns to LA at 8 am. So, I booked my flight out of LAX at 11:15 am -- plenty of time if I get off the ship by 9 am say.
While taking the pre-caution of making SURE that I would make it (having forgotten about the immigration part, for returning from La Hacieda, MX), we got the bad news that the ship won't even let anyone off until NOON, Nov. 14.
RCCL bastards! So, I definitely won't make that flight I booked. Now the question is whether I can get the red-eye that night, or have to stay over at the LAX Hilton till the next day is still up in the air (pun intended)!

P.S. If time and circumstance permits, I'll let you know if Nov 14 is a possibility for you to cash in your drink. :)

My biological and calendar clocks are so messed up by random 24-hr time zones that I only guess within ONE day of where I might be at any time now.

If you're going to be in LA around that time EMAIL me (on how to contact you by phone: I'll be able to phone you from the ship before we get off on Nov 14 on where you can collect your drink (and how many :-)). If you can find your way to CO's President's Club at the LAX airport, then you can have as many drinks as you can hold (as my guest -- since it's all "free" <BG>). Bur if you can't get there ... then I'll have to buy you one somewhere else.

He has every game system ever made, a moped, tons of movies/cds etc etc etc. My daughter sleeps on a mattress on the floor and we have 2 games for a nintendo 64 my mom bought for them like 3 years ago. But if there was something he needed I would be sure he did. I personally took him to Horsetown and bought hima shirt for the memorial. There is not an us vs them thing going on here.

No offense towards Kimber, but I really think it says something about our society when the measure of whether a child is being taken care of poroperly is the level of their video game system. I'm sure Kimber does a great job with her kids, but I find it interesting that this is one of the measures she uses for comparison.

I guess part of my reasoning in that above post is that financially he will have no worries. If he has all the toys his heart desires - those come after the basics which are well taken care of. And this topis was about if he was included in those who benefit.
I think a child well-loved and no toys is less blessed than one who has very few and lots of love. I don't base a child being taken properly by that. I kept the job I had instead of taking one where I could make a lot more money because I can bring my kids with me afterschool and on days off to work. They love being with me and playing with the horses. I did this because it gives a great quality time with them instead of being in institutionalized childcare.
Plus Micks oldest likely has $100,000 comeing to him. I think they will be just fine financially.

I'm sure all the kids are well loved and well cared for, it was just an observation about society.
Incidentally, the video game discussion reminds me of a story I heard rececntly about a guy who bought an X-Box for his family for Christmas (the only present the family could afford because the father had recently lost his job). Then, he just sat around all day playing it himself instead of looking for a job. He wouldn't even let any of the other family members play. Great Christmas present don't ya think? On the other hand, I just bought myself an X-Box this summer (it's the first video game system other than my computer I've owned since junior high) and I've only got one game for it. I play it fairly regularly though and enjoy it greatly.

My experience right now tells me that $100,000 would go a lot further than the bills I incured from the death of my husband. And yes all these kids are well loved.

And now they will have to learn to see him for what he is, and what he has done. That is between them and him.
I had a child with one of those *miserable* families, to whom the most important thing was the control the child was supposed to bring. They never once thought about the child, but used the child as a podium in every instance.
After going to jail 7 times, trying to get my court ordered "visitation", I left and havent been back since.
His name is Kyle. He is my son, and when he is old enough to have a relationship with me outside the control freak bullshit his mother and grandparents impose, we will get to know each other. And he will learn the truth about his momma and his grandparents. That is on them, and they can expect no slack from me.
There are people in this world who use children as a fulcrum for control, and those people will reap what they sow.
Don't you worry about any of that sh.t, you do what you got do, and you pull your duty as God gives you the light to see it.
Everyone else can pound sand.

If I had a day job I should now be thinking of quitting it and going into comedy. It's probably a good thing I don't.

Well,maybe you don't have a clue what you are talking about sometimes. So yes SS would replace ch -- $100,000 is a nice slush fund.

Actually he would because if he needed something his mother could not afford I would help them out. It will also go to him in the way I will be able to take all the kids places, get that pay per view he wanted too se badly ettc. I would also see what there was - what I needed and talk to Karey about her situation. But she makes a lot more money than I and will get that lump sun to use if necessary.
I am not some selfish coniving bitch like you are making me out to be.

On the top.
Fact.
Word.
No need for all the bullshit.
I been down and out, and good people helped me. sh.t, bad people helped me.
The payback for that is to help others who need a hand.
No more, no less.
All the rest is drama, and I dont do drama, mama.

Let me also say thanks to the gents bidding on the plate. Win/win. You get a cool piece of gear, and you help a lady with two little girls that need a hand.
Regardless of how any of you felt about Mick, this isn't about him. We are all in this friggin mess together.
I know what it feels like to be in a similar position, and I also know how it feels when someone helps, and I know how it feels to help.

I haven't had the time to look through each and every thread or message on the list, including the one blasting you for whatever it was you did (I don't care).
She has two little ones, and I am trying to help, because she is trying to help herself.
If she was sitting on her lumps waiting for a handout, I wouldn't bother.
Fact is, she is in a tough situation, and she is here in Washington now trying to better for herself and her kids.
That's good enough for me. I have a backplate to donate, so I did, it was mine, but I can make another one.

> Fact is, she is in a tough situation, and she is here in Washington now > trying to better for herself and her kids. Yes I am here to secure a good job opportunity. This is not a vacation that I am dumping my kids for as it has been refered to. I will take advantage of riding these horses, but I have to as it is part f the job. Lucky for me that it is good therapy so it is a win win situation all the way round.

This is not a "noble" thing.
It is a simple thing that selfish people cant help but f.ck up.
People helped me when I was down and out.
Because I was doing all I could to help myself and my kids.
This is nothing more or less than closing that circle.
The way to pay back those that have helped is to help another.
It is a circle.
And, it is what makes our country strong.

It's alright Scott. If you took the time to read the thread, you'd see that I'm not getting blasted at all. If you took the time to find out... Na. Never mind. Ain't going there. <snip>
