Darn it TEX !! Catia just called me, I am so sorry to hear about what you are going thru !
Nina, Thank you so much for keeping us updated, your Dad has helped me thru a couple of tough nights, after the death of my son. He likes to appear gruff on the board, but he has a heart of gold! ( sorry Tex, the secret is out )
My thoughts and prayers for the entire "Tex family!

I almost never post here, but I've always respected Tex. Give him my regards and may he recover ASAP.

Thought you all might like to know you've doubled what you had this morning and your Friends of Tex Laptop Fund is now at $824.85. This has happened in just 24 hours. You guys do not kid around.

Thanks for the heads up, Big. Been hectic the last week or two at work. Had a couple of lines down so my people and the rest of us have to pick up the slack. Been hard to keep up on the news here.
I hope this helps you, Tex, whether for laptop or bills.
I'm in.

I was having trouble with my posts on Ihub getting noticed before they get buried so I am trying another tactic. I have started a board a new board in the Free Zone over there called Friends of Tex.
I have a link to the fund as well as a link over here (that I might have to remove if Matt doesn't like it) and will add the updates as they come over on that board as well.
Perhaps more of his friends over there will find the info that way.
Thanks,
BF

I also posted the link on a few boards over there but the same problem occured BF, they were buried in no time. Starting a new thread was a good idea.

I would of done it sooner if I had seen it. I saw it last night but didn't have time to read. I wish him the best. He has helped me several times and always willing to lend a hand or advice. He unlocked my trend in Swing Trades and help smoothe a problem over also. What a great guy!

Okay guys, glass is too modest to accept our praise, so despite the fact that I didn't do anything, feel free to tell me how great I am instead of him Posts: 5508 | From: Southeastern PA | Registered: Jan 2006

seriously, i was inspired by other posters here, and still am.
You have a big heart Glass. Just like many walks through life, the experiences we live through make it easier to recognize what we can do to try and make something just a little easier for the next person. Allstocks has been a GREAT help to me and Tex has been an EXCELLENT mentor. I wish him the best and hope to see him back here soon! Cheers Glass, a great show of compassion to a person well deserved imo, a thousand times over.

I've had a couple folks asking me if there is an address they can send a Get Well Soon card out to.
Would you be comfortable with that?
Thanks,
Bigfoot

I am going to be headed out of town tomorrow for a week. Would anybody here be willing to take on the task of posting updates at I-hub from Friday to next Saturday?
Thanks,
BF
