I heard it was the marshmallow and colored sprinkles that put him over the edge just before he did that free styling bike stuff on the old schwinn

Is it not obvious that I got the point? For clarity I wrote that I also meant no disrespect. What else do you need me to do, Kim? What am I not understanding?

Dennis, you're a great guy.

Hey Woody,

I agree, Dennis is a great bloke...but your link only takes me to an OLF page which states that I do not have permission to view...could this be because I am too tight to pony up for the classifieds??

Cheers

OK, I paid for this on February 25th, and have been patient beyond anyone's definition of patient. I paid immediately, literally within seconds (if I remember correctly - it has been quite a while and my memory may be off a bit, it might have been minutes rather than seconds.)

Several times, shipment was promised, but it never has been shipped. I know Michael left the OLF, ticked off at someone, but that is not a reason to leave me in the lurch. Does anyone know Michael? Does anyone have contact with him? If someone has contact with Michael, please tell him that I still want the tuner shipped to me - not just a refund. It would not be fair to put me through all this waiting - over four months - and end up with no tuner after all.

I'm an honest person, a straight shooter, and very understanding, but this has gone beyond even my patience. I am still assuming that Michael is an honest person, and that he will send me the tuner that I paid for.

Dennis

Dennis,

I have the same tuner. I'll let you borrow mine until you get yours from Michael if you need one. Doesn't fix the mess, but if your in a need for one I'm more than happy to loan mine out. I hate to see ya get stiffed.

Thanks JJ. I don't want to ask anything of Robbie or put him in the middle, just because he has dealings with Michael.

Something has gone terribly sour with this deal. Something must have happened in Michael's life that led to this, because I just refuse to believe that it was his intent to rip me off. After thinking about this for a good long while, I have decided to make sure that Michael does not rip me off, by just giving him the money if he needs it that bad. If he ever sends me the tuner, great, I'll use it, but if not, I'll just think of this as $85 that I gave to someone who was in some kind of financial trouble. I understand that Michael accidentally broke one or more of his teeth with a wrench, then had a heart attack, and I just can't add to that list by letting him think he stole money from me.

Michael, if you are reading this, I'm still convinced that you have a good heart, and that you are an honest person. I forgive you the debt. I hope things turn around for you.

John, what a wonderfully generous offer. Warms my heart. I probably won't take you up on your generous offer, but it really shows your character and I sure do appreciate you.

Dennis

I really, really hate the idea that we can't have any fun here once in a while. Life is too damned short.

Steve, I can't win. I tried to reply tongue and cheek and got soundly smacked multiple times. So I gave what I knew. I didn't speculate on the departure at the OLF. I was in the thread where Michael threw up his hands and basically said he was leaving. I don't know his thinking, just what he said.

But obviously either tongue and cheek or recollection of events seems to please. Oh well.

Wish him well for us, next time you see him.
