Guest FourAces Posted November 21, 2012 Posted November 21, 2012 Hey guys as you know I've been pretty candid about my money situation since losing it all gambling .... as I mentioned in a few other posts my finances are not so good. I'm working on selling my blog and trying to secure a better paying job. Till then I'll soon be losing my cable and Internet services. A close friend will update the blog till I can find a buyer and my email I can access from my phone along with very limited Internet access. Therefore, I won't be online very often if at all. So I just wanna wish all a Happy holiday season and hopefully I'll be back sooner than I anticipate. Till then much peace and happiness to you all Quote
Members lookin Posted November 21, 2012 Members Posted November 21, 2012 Hate to see you go, however briefly. You're a warm presence here. I went through a financial trough many years ago, when Thanksgiving dinner was a turkey and stuffing sandwich from Togo's with cranberry sauce on top no less. Things started improving the following year and kept going till the money literally started rolling in. (And out again too, but that's another post.) Trust your fortunes will improve likewise and just as fast. Quote
Guest hitoallusa Posted November 21, 2012 Posted November 21, 2012 Four Aces I wish for your fast return and pray that job situation works out. Everybody goes through a difficult time from time to time and I believe you will recover fast. Please take a good care of yourself. You will be greatly missed.. Quote
Members TampaYankee Posted November 21, 2012 Members Posted November 21, 2012 We'll keep a candle lit for you. Hope to see you soon. Quote
Guest quietman Posted November 21, 2012 Posted November 21, 2012 Do well, sir. I think many of us have been through at least a short term financial abyss. It is good that you are facing it with a positive outlook. It does make a difference. Quote
Members Lucky Posted November 21, 2012 Members Posted November 21, 2012 Cannot that rich friend of yours help out? I think his name is Rich, or Rico maybe... Seriously though, good luck with the finances. I have been broke and it is no fun. But things can change... Quote
TotallyOz Posted November 21, 2012 Posted November 21, 2012 FourAces, you are a valuable part of this site and we hope you return soon. Our thoughts are with you and I hope that your financial woes end very very soon! Quote
Guest NCBored Posted November 21, 2012 Posted November 21, 2012 Best of luck. We'll miss you - but I hope your hiatus is a brief one. Quote
Guest lurkerspeaks Posted November 21, 2012 Posted November 21, 2012 hey Four Aces, just a thought for you...most public libraries have computers with internet access, but there is a good chance that they have blockers in place for adult sites.. But if you have a few extra dollars to spare, you can always go to a Fed Ex/Kinkos type place where they have computers with internet access. Or better yet, if you live near an apple store or a microsoft store, they have computers setup with internet access that you can use for a short period of time. So, while it might not be an everyday, anytime you want thing, you can still stop by and say hi to us when you are able. We will miss your contributions... Quote
caeron Posted November 21, 2012 Posted November 21, 2012 Hope things work out for you! We cut off cable TV a while ago and miss it only mildly. Quote
Members Lucky Posted November 21, 2012 Members Posted November 21, 2012 We also canceled cable tv and don't miss it. In response to lurkerspeaks, libraries are not allowed to censor the internet. Kinko's does though. At least that has been my experience. Quote
Members MsGuy Posted November 21, 2012 Members Posted November 21, 2012 ... libraries are not allowed to censor the internet. Kinko's does though. At least that has been my experience. Definitely censored around here. I think the level of censorship depends on your local librarian and his/her oversight board. Quote
Guest hitoallusa Posted November 21, 2012 Posted November 21, 2012 Censored in North Carolina and other people can see your monitor.. Nosy ladies might report you to a librarian. In Asia you get arrested for public indecency or something like that... Definitely censored around here. I think the level of censorship depends on your local librarian and his/her oversight board.

Members BigK Posted November 22, 2012 Members Posted November 22, 2012 Hey FourAces, I trust this move will be for the best, although not for us. We will miss your frequent presence. Most importantly take care of yourself. Quote
Members marcanthony Posted November 22, 2012 Members Posted November 22, 2012 Rooting for you, Aces. Best wishes for a fast recovery... Quote
Members JKane Posted November 22, 2012 Members Posted November 22, 2012 If you have a laptop most libraries offer WiFi now and they're often pretty open from censorship. But I'm also sorry to hear about the troubles and am hoping for the best for you! Quote
Guest EXPAT Posted November 22, 2012 Posted November 22, 2012 Wishing you the best hoping you get back to where you want to be. Quote
Members eeyore Posted November 24, 2012 Members Posted November 24, 2012 I'm sorry to hear you are going through some tough times. It looks like you are taking positive steps to turns things around. I hope that things come together for you and wish you all the best going forward. Quote
AdamSmith Posted November 24, 2012 Posted November 24, 2012 Been there. Best of luck. Is there a neighbor's Internet signal you can mooch off of? Don't overlook whatever community services there are. In NYC food charities for example abounded. Quote
Guest FourAces Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 Hey all .... I want to thank each of you above so very much for the nice words of encouragement. I was a bit surprised by the caring, heartfelt sentiments from you guys. All of my love to you. A quick update ... obviously I have Internet access back Its a bit limited but going forward I once again can put you all to sleep with my magical sleep inducing posts. On the financial front sad to report not very much has changed. Though there now is a bit more of a plan in place and a tiny bit of light flickering at the end of the tunnel. Just a quick look around Boy Toy lets me know I have much to catch up on .. but probably won't be able to do so with everything that has taken place since my hiatus. Now most importantly I hope that all of you are doing well, staying healthy and enjoying your new year. Peace & <3 F/A Quote
AdamSmith Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 Welcome back!! You probably saw that you were asked about & worried about in another thread just a few hours ago. Our thoughts are with you. Quote
Guest FourAces Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 Welcome back!!You probably saw that you were asked about & worried about in another thread just a few hours ago. Our thoughts are with you. Really? I did not see that. What a odd cosmic occurrence. Quote
TotallyOz Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 FourAces, you were indeed VERY missed! I am glad you are OK. Welcome back! I'd give you a big ole bear hug if I could. Quote
