I,m not cheap i,m broke

To Pete and all of the other people here on FABO...This is a family, and as such you should be able to come here to air your position, your concerns and your opinions and have them be accepted without reserve or restriction. In my opinion, all are welcome here, and all opinions are accepted by me as the position of the poster, no offense taken. If you feel tapped out from helping people, thats OK, just take a step back and relax, no one is counting the times you have not been able to help out, and no ill will or bad feelings will be sent your way. You all should be proud of the times that you could help out someone here, or anywhere for that matter. Sometimes it may be just a bit of advise, knowledge or information, but it is all valuable to someone who is in need. If you could put a value on years of experience, your input would be worth many times what it has taken you to get it. Don't feel bad because you can't help out this time, or next time or even the time after that, just help out when and how you can!!!

I am not rich by any means, and my job is just as iffy as everybody elses right now, but if I receive a windfall of sorts, I try to pass along my good fortune to others in need. For instance, a friend who knows that I know Mopar called and asked if I'd like a trailer full of Mopar parts. I said yes and he dropped them off. I am selling them for fair prices and splitting the $$$ with him. I feel that my 1/2 of the $$ from these parts is a gift, and as such I have no hesitation in donating it to a good cause. I couldn't help out with any $$$ from my regular job, as sometimes I don't get paid for over a month at a time. As a matter of fact, I am still waiting on over $2200.00 from a job that I completed in March!!! True I could use the $$$ from these parts to put towards my everyday bills, but to me parts money is for parts, or helping other people who are in need of parts or help. If it wern't for parts money, I would not be in a position to help anybody.

Bottom line, help when you can and how you can, and I'll do the same. We're like a family here, and everybody on FABO is included in that family, and your opinions all matter and are respected!!! Geof
