hi again guys - well, its official - I am retired from my job. Resigned actually as i had a mini stroke two weeks ago, persistant heart palpitations and general weakening. And I had basically used up all of my sick leave. So......its not the most terrible thing that could happen as I can manage financially. But that sort of means I no longer have social interaction at work and just about all of my friends are on line now. I hope to get my strength back and be out taking pics again shortly. The good news is that I now have lots of time to get back into OCC a bit and start posting again.
Maybe that will happen in the upcoming week or two. Stay tuned.. cheers, Klondike |

Been out of touch a long time here. Things are not going too well for me. I might be facing major heart surgery and am retired now but financially strapped - my retirement pension will not carry me past 2020. After that, and with the speech disability, I'll have to depend on any inheritance I get, Social security, and handouts....:( Surgery will also set me back financially. I am virtually unemployable.
About the best way for someone like me to make money is to try and set up a pay site. Or to hook up with someone like Fingers at Flash4us who is willing to pay for pics for his website. I don't know. But I am not really strong enough physically to cover major events anymore, at least not Fremont or OCF where a great deal of walking is required. So you will probably not be hearing a whole lot from me this year as i try to get a handle on my life with no job, and my life with heart disease. Keep me in your thoughts... cheers, Klodike |

Klondike,
I have only just seen this thread, and its hard to imagine what you go through. I geuss a lot of members have things going on in their private lives that not everyone knows about. These are the things can can affect how you react online. A very close friend of mine just recently lost his life. He was physically disabled but managed to build amazing websites with his feet. He died 2 weeks ago in his sleep after catching pneumonia. I myself have had heartache, as i lost my 7 year old son in a road accident in 1999. This changed my outlook on life in a huge way, but i kept myself together as i also had 2 other sons to bring up and keep them on the straight and narrow. My eldest son is now 23 years old and has a family of his own, but he is also a motorcycle stunt rider, so you can imagine how i feel each time he is out. Anyway Klondike, i am not trying to take things away from your thread, i'm just trying to get across to all members, that if you ever see a change in anyones postings, you should always think about why they have changed, as you never know about their private lives. Keep your chin up Klondike, you are a truly valued member on here and everyone has a lot of respect for you. reagrds celeb_peeper. . |
thank you c_p - it is interesting to learn about the private lives of other members and I only wish we could do more exchanging of that type of info.
As for my use of the word "jibe" in my previous post, i realized i don't have a clue as to what that means :) I must have been combining "jive" with "jab" or something, but neither are appropriate really. No need for Fango to take offense - we just traded pics and conversation... KLondike |
