UPDATED/Irene really messed w/familylife/@just life in general

Thanks to all for the kind words and help. I have been on this board for along time and I also was resident on the one before this.
The people here are some of the best, always willing to lend a hand or kind word when times are bad. I am used to helping, not
being on the need end so I was kind of blown away last night by the response. All stuff has been sold pretty much instantly, and
the funds will be put to good use. Thanks to those who tryed to make donations, your hearts in the right place and god bless, but
please do not feel bad I turned you down. I know you guys wanna help and "just that" is good enough for me.

I am truely blessed with some great friends, should you ever be in need please do not hesitate.

many thanks

Bill



This is the first chance for me to check in since everything just went dark and without a sump for awhile alot
of stuff was wrecked and spirits of all of us just in the general crapper. Its weird to try and live with electric,
ours went for 38 hours, came on and was active for 7-9 hours until some clown driving an oil truck hit our pole
and took it out for 9 hours for repair. alot of food was lost, as well as other things. MY cellar is a loss as well as years of auction
catalogs and coin worlds which were off the floor on crates but when the pump went out oh well.

I have alot of problems to solve quick so Im gonna list a bunch of nice stuff on bst at very reasobale prices, id love to pawn
and get back but I just dont have the gumption, we really been threw more than we can handle. I will appreciate if people can look
at what im selling all will described to tee, photos if need be and i will ship at my cost-I apologize for posting this letter here but im at a loss.

I am not accepting any donations just sales and all will be blow cost.

if its wrong to post here im sorry and please delete, im just really in between rock n hard place right now.

thanks

Bill Florenzano

I will link this to the sale page in a few once its written.

    Bill . .

    Don't worry about listing it here. The Forum Police need to get a clue if they get in a huff over this. The regulars here need to ALWAYS band together and do what we can. Many (me??) don't go to the BST unless there is something that urges us, so a quick post here will help.

    Good luck . .I'll go to your BST and hope to help . .

    Sorry to hear about your misfortune. Being a coastal Floridian, I know all too well about hurricane damage and long power outages.
    Best of luck on your recovery!

    I am sorry brother! I am a buyer and a holder (to return at time of your choosing for my price paid to you), after all we are all just renting coins anyways as you can't take them to the grave. Well you can but how would others enjoy them?

    Bill, really sorry this has happened to you. You are good people!

    For those that don't know Bill, as he hasn't been as prolific as late, not only has he been here for quite awhile (see the "Joined" date), but he has always been helpful and great to chat/work with.
    I've dealt with him over the years and he has always shipped and been on time and a standup guy.

    Best wishes to you in moving forward from the hand you have been dealt with.

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

    Sorry to hear about this. I live in the Hampton Roads area of Virginia and lost power for two days. I was one of the lucky ones. One of my Daughters lost power for a week.

    Makes one truly appreciate what they have while they have it.

    Sorry to hear this Bill.... a lot of people in this area were whacked too.. lost houses etc... devastating to say the least. Been raining again for the last three days and flooding has occurred once more... roads out again. Good luck and I hope things turn around quickly. Cheers, RickO
