I just wanted to let my fellow collectors know in advance that in a bout 3 weeks time, i will no longer have internet service for awhile. Actually, a long while, probably not until after the first of the year. Things are starting to get real tight, LaKrista is going to be quiting work to stay home with the twins when they are born and with the rising cost of utilities, taxes, car & house payment, medical bills starting to hit and some other things, decisions must be made. The internet is a luxury, not a necessity. The large aray of channels on TV is getting cut back to just the basic line up. A couple of the extra things we were doing are being cut out as well. This is not a decision i came to quickly, it was thought out and i talked it over with my wife. Im hoping this will only be a temporary thing until we can get some things in order, but it may take afew months as i said.
I will miss you all. I will miss coming here to check out what others have been finding, what new stuff is coming, and just talking about a mutual hobby. I thank Matt for building such a great site a collector such as I can come to and call a "home". I love being a member here. I will let you all know when the last day for me will be, as i said, in about 3 weeks. There are some trades and auctions i need to finish up first.
Thanks for letting me a part of it all. I will be back.

Wow. Again. This board has again suprised me. In a good way. I posted this message here and on BOTB, and i must say i was humbled by the emails and pm's i received from people wanting to stay in touch.
When things start to go in the wrong direction, im usualy the first to make the sacrifices. Thats just my nature. There have been some things that have happened in the last couple days that made me sit down and re-evaluate some of my decisions. My wife was actually able to get some things sorted out that i never thought about. She also was able to make some phone calls to get some of our monthly expenses changed. Its amazing how "special offers" come available when you are going to cancell services. She was able to get a package that decreased our cable/internet bill by almost half. We may not have as many channels and my internet may not be as fast, but we still have it. We were also able to get a couple things budgeted until afew things come thru. So right now things are looking okay.
So, looks like i may be around for awhile. No total blackout just yet. Again, i thank those of you who contacted me. It meant alot.
