Thanks, for dumping! It helps get things into perspective for all of us and you, too.
Sorry to hear of all the trouble, but you sound like you have a great attitude and that is very important when dealing with life.
You will be in our thoughts and prayers! Hope you have a Merry Christmas and an outstanding New Year!!!

Chuck,
You live a good healthy life, have a good sence of humour and your spirit seems to stronger than oak. That kind of reminds me of Kenny Bräck who smacked totally in the IRL last year. A more positive guy is hard to find. He's completly recovered from something that would have been fatal to most. I'm most certain you'll pass this like a bump on the road and you'll look back at this thread in the future smiling.
Cheers, Best wishes, Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and all the rest!

Thank you all so much. Last night, I felt slightly self indulgent by posting my situation.
Now, the only thing I feel is a true appreciation and love for this community.
You have made my day! Thank you,

Chuck,
Though we've never 'met', I always felt a bond with you since I bought mt RUF. May be because we are the same age, or we share similar philospohy in many matters. I always remember one line in your original PM to me about your liver condition: "I will come out of this alive..." and I truely believe you will. You have been in my prayers since I read that PM, and I trust that the Lord takes care of good people. You are a genuine good guy.
I had a very difficult year in 2005 as well. Though I hardly shared as much on the board (only posted about my car woes) but through the comaradiare of the Rennlist Community, my daily grind got less 'grindy'. So yeah I know the theraputic benefits of our cars and our friends here. I hope you find similar solace as I do here in cyber space.
You have a lovely family, a wonderful car, and many things to enjoy in life. May you live a long and healthy life to enjoy it.
Wishing you a merry Christmas, happy new year, strength and inner peace.

Chuck, holidays, or no holidays, this is one of the things that strikes you out of the blue and makes you think - what can I do to help? Besides the best wishes to you, indeed - if we can do anything to help you and yours, please let us know.
And, most importantly, hang on! It's gonna be OK.
