I had a nasty experience today

[71spud]

The bad news i have just cracked open a couple of cans of special brew, as they say in credit crunch uk (baby i dont care) :'-(

After 4 months sober falling off the wagon might not be the best solution to the passing out for no reason. You may not come back again. You have also made a few suicidal references recently. Pull yourself together just long enough to go get some serious help. Don't confuse the sincere and well-meaning wishes and advice here for therapy. While we will support and encourage you in your journey you need some professional help. Today.

spud is right - all that negative talk is NOT good... and NOBODY wants you to harm yourself !

Absolutely correct Spud!

Tim don't let this incident start you back down that road. First and foremost get yourself checked medically then find some professional help for your mental state. Everybody has to deal with things they don't want to but dealing with them is how you improve and move on. Just my two cents here but if you find things around you that are negative, depressing or reminders that you don't want then get rid of them. If you have to many boomboxes cramping your digs and find it depressing then get rid of some, I know that's not the ulitmate answer but little things like this can help lift your spirits. If you associate with people who tend to drag you down then it's time to let them go. If you find yourself in surroundings that depress you then change them, go somewhere else. Simple yes but often it's what or who is around you that enables negativity and the only way out iS to change it.

Cheer up buddy, if you make the effort tommorrow can always be better.

Sorry to hear about that Rimmer. I'm glad you didn't get too badly injured, it could have been much worse with all those boxes around.

 

[oldskool69]

Hey Tim...

Keep it together man. Boxes can be replaced...you can't. Sometimes we all need to step back and remind ourselves what we're worth to others. Tim, I don't see you as a selfish person, thus I wouldn't expect you to make selfish decisions or take selfish actions.

You have friends here. Keep your chin up. Let us know what's wrong with your boomers, if anything, I'm sure someone could help.

TIM, good to hear you are ok , and remember we are here for when ever you need us man , all this time that i've known you, you have been a strong man and i always look out for your commets because i like them, so please be carefull and take care of your babys.

 

[kittmaster]

[Radio raheem]

Thanks guys i dunno where i'd be with out you.

I was'nt gunna come back on for ages for the embaresment of my comments, the things you say when you have had a couple i dunno but im here.

I am still to scared (for want of a better word) to test my boxes, the gf1000 and 880 look fine but the pc55 looks like it has seen better days as it went through the worst of the collision, before i fell it was in front of me then afterwards it was behind me, im not sure how it diddnt land on my head lol. One thing is for sure no more cans for me (not bad 2 cans in 4 months) but special brew is pretty strong i tell thee. cheerz all lets just pick up the peices and moove on eh

 

[LLopez]

WOW Tim sorry to hear about this, I hope u ok, And hope there is no serious damage to the boomboxes .

 

[ford93]

Tim you know we got your back and glad you're ok. No more falling down ok buddy we like having you around!

 

[Radio raheem]

Cheerz llopez and thanks ford the good news i have tested the pc55 and despite going through the worst of the ordeal she fired up and all works perfect, the speaker cabs are a bit battered and loose and the display needed repairing but she is a ok I still have not tested the 880 and gf1000 but they look ok dispite over 20 stone comming down on top of them

I will keep you updated as and when i try the other 2 radios but there is hope, i just cant take anymore upsets at the moment so i will try them in a couple of days guys and let you know. As for me im fiting fit hoping to moove best foot forward i say. .

 

[Radio raheem]

Tested the gf1000 all a ok just the aiwa to go. think the 55 has had it though as through close listening music wasnt stable and i have discovered both capstans are bent slightly

 

[Radio raheem]

880 lives At least both the expesive boxes are ok just have to buy another 55 anybody wanna sell me one

 

[monchito]

[Ghettoboom767]

Hi Tim-I'm glad your boxes are for the most are all right.
I just hope you get yourself better.
Take care of yourself and have a great week-GB.

Thank God your equipment broke your fall.You might have really gotten hurt otherwise.Personally I would consider that the best use of any equipment I have .

Bobby really has an excellent idea.Our fascination with boomboxes has brought us all together unlike anything ever could in past history and before the internet. For me the more important fruits of the hobby are the friendships we make along the way.It would be great to meet you if you could make it to one of our meetings.Your posts have certainly been very entertaining and I'm sure you would be even more so in person .

 

[redbenjoe]

spot on , jovie -!!!!

if we knew in advance that rimmer was really gonna show up-

tony could charge a hefty $$ admission fee

 

[floyd]

tim im glad ur ok man ,and i have spare capstans for you if you want them just give me some time to remove the parts from my pc 550 scrapper.

 

[Radio raheem]

Thanks all your the best sinse then i have not collupst nor have i had any disy spells apart from one time when ira showed me his woodie but realy i am ok you know me i live for boxes especially m90's lol its even worse for me regarding the m90 because i have had one before and it was my sole mate for want of a better word.

Thanks for your very kind offer floyd but have you seen inside a 55 a total impossible mission for me, i think if you can master one of these boxes you should be building and desighning boxes my man, ohh i forgot you are.

Thanks all again you know this place is what stg used to be in the old days kind and loving so again the BIGGEST thanks goes out to fatdog for making us all at home

 

[floyd]
