Default Thank You!

My wife and I recently incurred some emergency medical bills, so I was forced to sell a couple of guitars and some "extra" equipment. I want to thank those of you who purchased the guitars from me. The Larrivee OM-10 and JV-09 have found good new homes!

I also want to thank those of you who offered concern and sent prayers. They are all greatly appreciated.

Again, Thank You!

Cheers!

Jim

Hello Jim
Emergency medical bills are hard to swallow. If you're without a single guitar at the moment because of medical reasons, you're happy to borrow a "recovery" guitar from us, free of charge, until you can get back on your feet(financially or literally). It's bad enough to get old but to do it without a guitar in your lap is just sinful. Let me know if I can help in the recovery department.

Wow, Steve! That is really nice of you! But I still have one guitar left, so I will be okay. Since I can only play one at a time, I am fine. But that is really generous of you, and I WILL remember it when I look for a new guitar!

Cheers!

Jim

Ahhhh....humanity, don't you just love it. When the doo doo hits the fan the good people come out of the woodwork.
Thanks for helping to reset my "GRUMPY" button.

Jim,

I don't know your exact situation, but I have been right where you are. My wife recently went through a bout with breast cancer - and even though we had insurance, we had tons of medical bills related to her surgeries and treatments. I am praying for you and your family. I hope you did not have to sell your "Goddess" guitar - one of the most beautiful Larrivee's I have ever seen. I send you greetings from a fellow Texan living in the Metroplex.

Pastor Chuck

slimey - I'd like to use your quote as my sig, if you do not mind

Jim, I'll pray for you tonight. I hope that someone is watching over you and your wife. I am glad you have a positive attitude, and outlook.

Take care and be well.

Hi Steve,

I read my wife your post, and she said, "Wow, that's when your imaginary friends are not imaginary any more!"

Best regards, Glenn
