Guys and gals, I'm sure some of you have been wondering what has happened to our friend, Wizard1956. I know a few have asked and until now, I have been asked to keep a lid on it. Randy and Theda didn't want everyone knowing the have been having it a bit hard.
But just a few minutes ago, I talked to Wiz on the phone. He called to let me know that he'd be inaccessible until sometime next year, not for sure when.
A few weeks ago Wiz told me he would be losing internet due to his hours being cut. A week or so later, I decided to try calling him at work and was told he was let go. So he now has no job, no unemployment yet (pending), and no phone, TV, or internet. His wife's part time income barely keeps the rent paid and heat on. Things are progressively getting worse, and now he tells me his car is out of commission and his wife is walking to and from work. Oh, and food is scarce until he can get food stamps going. So even a walmart gift card would help...anything.
So, I guess I'm asking if anyone would like to send a card, a gift, or a small donation to help Randy and Theda with a little Christmas joy. I'm sure they would appreciate it, and so would I. I am sending a few bucks friday, just a small amount.
If someone would just send a Christmas card it would brighten their holiday. I'm sure it's a bummer being in this jam for the holidays.
Wizard has asked me to tell everyone at WC he says Merry Christmas and Happy New Year and that he will hopefully see us in a month or two.
If anyone wants to send him anything at all, a Christmas card, 5 bucks, a gift....anything...please PM me for his address. He has no bank account but can get small checks cashed at his wifes work.
I truly hope some of us can do something to cheer these people up for the holidays.
UPDATE....Wiz has opened a bank account so that he can get checks cashed. Those who have sent checks won't have to worry if he can use them.
I still see 660.
Thanks again guys, a little help goes a long way. Wiz was in tears when I talked to him last night. He says he loves you all and will never forget you.
sent a check out today, not much, wish I could do more, hope it all adds up. Randy has always been one of the good guys, sorry to hear they have fallen on some hard times. Let's hope it is very temporary.
Check went out this morning. You tell the Wiz that he has more friends than anyone...and that we all love him, miss him and look forward to seeing him when he can.
Sent a bit and a note. Every little bit helps. Been there m'self.
I'd like to do something. Especially after so many people helped me here few years ago but my situation if not worst is not better though.
I can't make check (national bank decision) i can only use national credit card so i don't even know if i can send money through paypal but if so is there any way to do so? I won't be able to send a lot but if many send a few it make a lot.
PM on the go about his address.
Exceedingly hard to hear so many friends are going through bad times. I miss him, he's sooo funny! I will pray for them. Please give my heartfelt wishes to them for a much better New Year.
Gotcha Quentin. I PMd you back. You're a good soul. Wiz will appreciate even a Christmas card. Bless you.
You got it! Bless you.
Jim...a suggestion? Print this thread and send it to him, or put it on a small zip drive so he can see what folks said....just a thought.
Now that is a great idea Doc!
Good Idea!! I'll have to be sure to stop printing at reply 84, so it'll appear to be my idea.....
Printed...all 87 replies....
Christmas card with a little something inside is on its way. Not from France or Australia, but the next best thing....Wisconsin!!
Someone could make up a WinCustomize Christmas card that represents the community. Just an idea.
I wish that I could have sent something, but as it is I don't even have money for myself for Christmas. Luckily I'm not in the same situation and the rest is already taken care of out of my hands.
Jim,
PM me Wiz's address, please.
How about a wall with our tags on it? ... from I.D.'s thread?
Or a Christmas tree with our tags as ornaments? (I like that idea better).
I bet BoXXi would let us use his Xmas tree from ID's latest Skin Picks thread.
Done deal, CG. Thanks! And bless you!
Scharchuk, I know there is a bad economy everywhere. Things aren't real good here either, I realize times are hard. I hope things get better for you.
Wall/tags....big card...lol.
2ND Idea....there is an idea.
Who's doing it, me? lol...just asking so we don't get duplicates...
We have tree from DaveBax!! I will gather tags from said ID thread as soon as I get a chance, unless someone has collected them and can send to me, Doc?
HUZZA!!!!!! YES! Big ole tree. I'd suggest sending Wiz my humongous ornament but the postage would astronomical. Not to mention needing one of those heavy lifters to move it. The tree is a wonderful idea. That ... a copy of this thread ... the Christmas cards and everything else. Yeah. Together we'll bring Wizard1956 and family one helluva Christmas!!! I love you guys!
