Default The power of the Forums is Humbling...

to see at work. When I had a sudden problem recently and had to move at a minutes notice due to fradulent charges, the forums came to our rescue. I wntned some people to help move our stuff and a truck, but I got a whole lot more than that. I was overwhelmed by the kindnesws of people on the forums that I ahve never even met in the flesh and how willing they were to help. One forum member drove 8 hours to help us move our stuff into our new place. This was truly amazing, not to mention all of the people who sent a few bucks and said use it for whatever you need. I am still in shock from that experience and want to thanks everyone who contributed and let them know if they are ever in a tough spot that I will help in any way that I can.

This post has all come about because of the HeatherC situation and the fact that she said she is going to have to sell her bike. In the past I would not have sent money to someone I do not know from some web site (what am I stupid?) but after experiencing what I did a few weeks ago prior to our sudden move, I sent as soon as I got the email address. I firmly believe in paying it forward or karma as I like to call it and have always done what I can for people. You never know when you might need that spiritual bank account to be full. Don't get me wrong, money is nice too, but you can't take it with you when you die. I jsut want to say to everyone here on the forums that this is a truly amazing froup of people who have come together to help people in a time of need and I am sure that it will happen again and I am proud to saythat I am part of this group of people. I have never known such kind and caring folks in my life, not even people I have known since I was born. Truly amazng. HeatherC don't sweat it, it will all work itself out...

Agreed. I belong to several forums, and I have never saw anything like this. It's mind blowing for me. Great bunch of folks here, it seems. [&:]
