I wanted to give a huge thank you to everyone on this forum for putting up with my weird and off the wall questions. I'm sure I bring up questions on matters that have been asked many many many times before. See a little while back my wife (who is the love of my life and my soul mate) was diagnosed with a life threatening health problem. We have been doing a lot of hospital visits to get things figured out. With all of this stuff going on to boot, I've come down with some health issues as well. I think mine is mainly due to all the stress. I hope. We are not that old. I'm 43 and my wife is just a few years younger. We have been married for 14 years, and we have two little girls. So with that. I post questions that pop into my head or questions that other people ask me. I do this because it gets my mind off of things for a bit. Dealing with the car stuff de-stresses me for the most part. I know this is a race car forum. Not a forum to vent your problems. But I am breaking protocol to say THANK YOU ALL, for all of your help with performance advice, and for the personal help you have inadvertently given me. It means more than I could ever say Greg Knight

Glad to help.
A few years ago I blew my knee pushing a Chevy race car. Needless to say I was off a couple weeks. Every question on here I tried to give an educated answer whether I knew it or looked it up.
This community helped me through a tough patch and I am glad we were there for you.

Greg best of luck to you and your wife. Thoughts and prayers from all of us here. And if asking questions on here eases your stress then by all means keep asking away.

Oh, He11, I should have posted something like this YEARS ago!
On a serious note, I hope things settle down for you on the home front as soon as possible.

All you guys are so great! Thank you. I'm way more concerned about my wife(Ashley) than whats going on with me. I'm hoping my health stuff will go back to somewhat normal once we can get her stuff all sorted out and hopefully get her on the mend. Dustin- I'm sure trying to get out there next year. I don't know if it will be at the first of the season. But I hope shortly after. I can't wait to see you back here next year though. Kicking all these guys butts and taking their money! You without a doubt, have sure made us Mopar guys around here proud!!!

Well we are down to just me working. So I'm at work or I'm at home. And I'm usually at work at least 12hrs a day M-F. Doesn't give me much time for anything else.

Greg, prayers sent for full healing for you both. Believe and receive! This is a great site, and fills many needs. There is a need to give, and need to get, a need to learn, and a need to share what we have learned. Knowing that average retention is what, ten percent then a lot of repetition is just fine. Add to that the coming and going of members and you get the picture. Thank you for sharing, and again prayers sent Greg A

I have always held the notion that others , be it friend or family , are here to help us when the burden gets too big. Maybe mostly because they have been. With the addition of the internet to our lives , that network of friends has grown to include dozens of " friends I have yet to meet. " I am not sure if it is because we realize that there are a good number of nutty &%$#@*&'s out there who are just like us ? Or backs up my " dynamics of a crowd " theory.........where if you assemble 100 people in a room , you will have a broad representation of virtually everything humanity has to offer in that group. And many of them will be solid as Gibraltar......the kind of group we either are proud to be a part of or strive to become. There is going to be some real blue plate specials in there too....roughly a dozen based on my non scientific estimates. But not too many of them on here. Thoughts and prayers to both Ashley and yourself. Be strong and carry what you can.
