First off, no I was not there. I moved the date to the 14th. A relative has offered to pay the membership fee of $190 as a gift but I haven't yet decided whether or not I'm going to accept it. They know I was unable to join lat year because of my health at the time and put my name on the list and waited a year to be drawn.
I have been silent, because I've been restricted by the moderators as to what I can say. I asked one, cobb for a clarification and attempted to explain some things. In so many words I was told to SHOVE It and it was my mess to clean up. I've never once denied this. Many days ago I posted asking that All involved email me directly with the information I need to assure my records of each person is correct. As of today,I gave received exactly three (3).
It appears that Sam is the one with the biggest mouth yet as of 8:28pm 3/15/14 he had not bothered to send me his information. Nothing, NADA not a damn thing. Sam has a lot of blowhard stuff to say about me and how "concerned" he is but obviously he isn't THAT concerned! Sam, youhgave my email address and my home and cell number, grow a set and do what you need to do. By the way, you are LAST on the list, and IF I have an address for you, sent by you, you will get every penny after everyone else that paid before you is repaid.
A lot of people not involved have had a lot to say, both good and bad. My reputation on this forum is gone forever and I can accept that. I'm taking responsibility for what had occurred, and gave already begun taking care of the problem to the best of my ability. If that isn't fast enough for some of you, I'm sorry, but it is what it is. The only reason I'm still on this forum is to try and assure I can stay in touch with who I owe, no more, no less. There are other forums beside GunTalk. I survived 53 yrs without it and I'll survive another few at least. I have made a few really good friends in this forum and they, unlike Sam, have emailed me. So far, with encouraging words. For them, I'm thankful. While I used to think Sam was just full of B.S. and like to hide behind his keyboard and be a bully, now I'm convinced of it. The proof is here!
There are accusations I wanted to hire a guide to go hunting. I would love to, as I hunted Russian Boar in the Fla Everglades in my youth, with nothing more than two dogs and a knife. Not many can say that and I cherish those days and long lovingly for them again, though I know they will never be again. It was nice hearing from Spartan, but he understood I could not financially do it now. I will in the future. You see, I lost EVERYTHING I owned April 3rd, 2009 when my house burned down and two neighbors, literally drug me out the back door saving my life after I had fallen and broken my good leg trying to get out, while thankfully I was home alone. So whatever you have to throw at me, is fine. If it makes you feel better, do it! I'm strong enough to take it.
I posted I was going to Ahlmans, that was true. I had to take my sick neighbors mother home to Southern MN so she could see her heart doctor, she's 84. I ended up not stopping at Ahlmans as I had no money to.spend. I only offered in an attempt to save someone gas money if they happened to need something while I was down that way.
I also posted that I bought 1lb of R-19 powder, this is true. I spent $27 and of that I'm guilty. I needed to load some ammo for a friend and he bought the pound, so I could load some ammo for him, and I get to keep what's left.
It was mentioned I load ammo for other people. Frankly it's NONE of ANYONE here's business. But yes, I load some ammo for family and some friends both here and in another state. They pay for the supplies, I enjoy my hobby. I've loaded ammo for several people on this board and all of them are happy. Some was even used in competitions. I guess Sam will belittle me for this, but I wonder how he'll feel when he knows I loaded EVERY round of 50BMG (yeah Sam that's a REAL EFFEN gun and maybe someday you will step up to) , that OldmanFCSA shot in Alliance,NE when we went last June, and every round I shot, he loaded for me. I trust the man with my life and he showed me he trusted his life in me! I don't take that lightly.
Lastly, today I went to the Wells Gunshow with OldmanFCSA after he asked me to ride with him. I had a great time and made a few new friends. At least one, knew how full of bravado Sam is with his keyboard. Sam, you truly are a mental midget. Just in case anyone needs to know,I spent five bucks to get in and a buck on a Pepsi Oh, I also spent $26 on some 6mm bullets i'll get rfunded for. I'm guessing this post might not be left up on the board because it's the truth. If it is, I'll need surprised. It might possibly get me banned permanently before I can get all the contact info I need. If so, so be it. I have not been silent because I'm afraid. More because I don't enjoy sharing ALL of my life on a simple forum with many people I don't know. I know I should gave said something sooner but until two weeks ago I thought I had it under control but that money feel thru. I NEVER told PD to "hold" any order, I only instructed them to call me before they charged the card to allow me to call my bank and have the daily charge limit they have on debit cards raised high enough to cover the charge, in order to prevent a bounce .I have been calling them every two weeks since Dec. 26th trying to find out the status of order. It has been stated, on here was "on hold" (I'm delivering part of a member's PD bullets to tomorrow, he will see copies of the orders). and at one point they could not even find my order. From what I could hear over the phone, they don't even use computer records. They were digging through paper orders looking for mine. They finally found it last Monday. Unfortunately, the person that was going to loan me the money to cover the order, was recently laid off and could no longer allow me to use her credit card. She is my relative and is 73. If I were able to go back to work tomorrow,I would start looking for employment today. I'm not, I'm permanently medically retired with a disability income based on my income in 2003 and it will NEVER go up. When SSI gets a raise, they lower the disability an equal amount.
I am NOT selling the few assets (guns. , 3 rifles all over 20 yrs old one will be 42 in May, a 22lr given to me on my 14th birthday by my late parents, and 3 pistols), they would not much help the issue. Sam, do some more checking, numerous people got their bullets from the first two shipments. Tomorrow, another member is getting part of his shipment that I was trying to hold until the entire shipment in to prevent a nightmare in record keeping. He will also see copies of the original orders, placed April 30,2013 & May 22, 2013. When you talk to PD remember, these are the same people that originally PROMISED they would ship within 12-13 weeks and after 19 ( Sept) they kept telling me they had no idea about when they would ship, denied telling me 12-13 weeks and then asked me to NOT call them as often.
If this post gets deleted by the mods, I won't be surprised. If I'm banned, you know how to contact me everyone.
