not been here for some time.....

#1 Post by robbier6 » Wed Nov 19, 2014 5:40 pm

it's been a hellish two months, i was made an orphan on the 4th of October, my mother passed away after collapsing 2 weeks before hand with a pulmonary embolism brought on after her hip op, so sad she never got to walk on level legs :smt010 then on the 7th of October one of my best friends had her dad passed away suddenly, then the very same night she tried to take her own life...i feel like I've been to hell and back, and been on the brink my self...but this weekend i move back home and life is improving so for the next few nights i'd like to stand everybody a drink.

Life sucks. I hope in some way it gets better for you soon, bud. I'll join you for that drink, but this rounds on me. :smt002
Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handle bars to the saddle.

Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

'kin hell, mate. All the best to you from down here in Oz. Things will get better, but it will take time. the best advice I can give is to take one day at a time, and to know that it will get better.

And once Will's round is gone, the next one is on me.
It's the V-twin thing. There's just something about it that inline-4s don't have at all, and V-4s don't have enough of.

Hi Robbie - hope things are taking a turn for the better. Think of the good memories of your mum, she was a lovely lady.

I never know what to say for the best so sometimes don't say anything. There are many ways to see things and given time, you'll find your way forward. So allow yourself that time.
Don't put off 'till tomorrow what you can enjoy today

That's right - time may not heal but it makes things easier to deal with. I'll raise a glass with you.
