I Hope Moncha is OK...

[JoFotoz]

I sent my yearly "supporters" contribution plus a bit extra several days ago ( along with a PM)...

.....no confirmation/reply , and I've been demoted!


jo

[pbkid]

hmmm... maybe he just doesnt like you?



just kididng, i hope he's alright too. im sure laura would let us know if anything major happened.
along the same lines, i was starting to wonder if you were alright.... havent heard much from you since your last trip home :(

[ZEUS]

I've started worrying too, Jo. I sent him a PM yesterday just to check up... the silence leaves a lump in my throat. :(

[Anita]

I spoke to Scott on the phone several days ago and he is having physical problems again. So much so, that he is once again unable to focus to work on his computer. They have ruled out a stroke, though he said the symptoms are very similar to what he went through with his strokes he had previous. The doctors dont have a definitive cause to his problems as yet. They have a few ideas but more tests are needed.

I was hoping that he would come on and let us know what is happening but he may not be able to. He is going to need everyone's prayers and patience as the doctors get to the bottom of this. I will be giving him and Laura a call tomorrow for an update.

[JoFotoz]

Thanks Anita.

All good vibes to Scott.

jo

[ZEUS]

Ouch. Thanks for the heads up, Anita. Hoping for the best....

[Triathlete]

Sending good wishes your way Scott...hope everything goes well and you are bouncing back!

[nfpgasmask]

Wow, that sucks. Thanks for updating us, Anita.

My thoughts will be hoping for him.

Bart

[pbkid]

aw man. ill be sending the best vibes possible his way.

those headaches he was talking about must of gotten the better of him.

anita- do you know if us 'regulars' can send anything to the hospital for him?

[Anita]

When I talked to him he was at home - not sure if anything has changed. If I can get a hold of either Scott or Laura this weekend I will ask. I am hoping either he or Laura can let us know.

[pbkid]

cool, that would be great... if not ill call down to pueblo hospital and ask their address i suppose (if he's there)

[rowhard]

Thank you Anita for your help, please give them our (all of us) best wishes

[Gussie2000]

Me no like bad news :(

I think scott needs some break off the PC for a while guys :(

He have been very into the site doing a lot of upgrade work for our enjoyment so the boss needs some vacation time he can relax as much as possible.

Anita hope you can update any further info about scott or ms laura log in & give us more of scott conditions.

In the meanwhile let's all keep our great host in our minds for he's well being & ask our god to give him some peace at home.

[VXorado]

I was hoping to meet Scott at the Colorado Colors...we will have to hold off this year.

Hope you feel better Scott

[VX crazy]

I too hope Scott is alright.....my thoughts and prayers are with both Scott and Laura!

[Dumke]

WOW Scott man take care of yourself. Laura and Scott you will be in my thoughts. Thanks Anita for the update and if there is anything that is needed please let us know.

[tomdietrying]

My thoughts, prayers, and positive vibes are with you Scott and Laura.

Thank you !

[Scott Harness]

Get well Scott!! Hang in there Laura.Sending much LOVE and CHI:yeso:

[LittleBeast]

Praying for you Scott, hang in there :)

[Anita]

Talked to Scott and Laura today. Scott is still home and resting. I told him that there is a pack of VX family waiting to hear from them so when Scott is able he will post.

I know that they both could used some good chuckles just about now. To have gone through surgeries, strokes et all - to start feeling like normal only to be hit with something else. It could take the wind out of anyone's sails.
Keep the good thoughts going.

In the meantime, exercise patience and kindness to each other. :grinb:

[don moore]

thx Anita for the info....chin up Scott... and Laura..we love you ...

[technocoy]

Hate coming on the site to this kind of news..

You guys are in my thoughts and prayers.

Oh, and here's another dancing nanner for ya... :dan_ban: can't hurt, right?

[VX KAT]

Hope you're doing better Scott, we really miss ya and hope you get well.
Hang in there Scott & Laura!

[Mark B]

Thanks Anita for the update.
Give him my best and prayers for a quick recovery.
We need him back.

[MSHardeman]

Dog-gone-it. I go away for the weekend and come back to not so good news.

Scott and Laura, I'm sending every positive vibe and prayer that I can your way.

Anita, the next time you talk to them see if Scott would like some visitors. The Colorado VXers could knock out a Scott and PBkid visit all at once.:thumbup:

[tom4bren]

Even tho today was the first time in a week that I was able to log on to the forum (yes, the withdrawal symptoms are REAL), Scott hasn't been far from my thoughts and prayers.

Good luck Broheem!!!

Ditto on the positive thoughts, well wishes, and worry for the latest news. For those that are close and might visit, be sure to pass along those thoughts for the rest of us on the site.

Everybody please forgive what might be perceived as a cold-hearted question, I am an IT manager so these things naturally come to my mind. Does Scott have a backup for his site/server admin duties? I was just thinking that if the site crashed and burned right now, it might not come back up for weeks...

[ScottinMA]

Does anyone have any information about Scott? Been checking this thread but no info....Anita???

Scott (same name, different person...)

[Gussie2000]

I log in last night to play call of duty & scott was in there,sounds alright to me.

[Anita]

Sorry guys. I was away for the weekend and didnt get the chance to call. Last report was that he was on a med to counter the dizziness, but the med had to slowly be introduced. Too late to call tonight.. I will try tomorrow.

I keep hoping he will pop up. :(

[pbkid]

I keep hoping he will pop up. :(

likewise :(

keep seeing this thread pop up, hoping the last post is his....but no luck yet..

[tom4bren]

I wanted to do something to let Moncha know that we're all thinking about him. I'm going to print this in poster size & mail it to him tomorrow. I took the liberty of 'signing' it for everyone (hope you don't mind). I'll spend a little time in the morning trying to make sure I didn't leave anyone off.

Tom

Oops, the pdf is too big to post here.

Great idea T4B, I sure miss the Boss.

[Triathlete]

Very cool T4B! Thats my leg upper left corner!:bwgy:
Hope your doing alright Moncha! Take your time and do what you got to do to get back to 100%. We will all still be here waiting for you!

[SilverBullet75]

Haven't been on in a while... Scott, hope you are doing ok! Feel better soon! We'll be praying for you. I look forward to shooting you in the butt soon. :p (If I can ever get online on Fridays...)

[tom4bren]

It's coming along nicely but taking much longer than anticipated (lots & lots of members). I think it'll look really cool when done. I'll post a copy when complete. Hope to get it sent out on Tuesday (busy weekend & Monday's a holiday).

BTW, I'm glad Y'all like the idea since I'm putting everyone's name on it:)

[nocturnalVX]

Very cool idea, and I can't wait to see the finished job. I called the Boss yesterday, but had to leave a message. I hope this is a case of no news is good news. We are with you Mr. & Mrs, Moncha!

[Anita]

I talked briefly to Scott tonight... he still is dealing with some horrendous headaches, and medications which are supposed to help are proving toxic to his system. Lessening medications = worse headaches. Laura tries to keep the house as quiet as possible so everyday noises dont sound like explosions to Scott. His spirits are up, he's in pain, he's tired and he is pretty fed up with not feeling well. He does manage to crack a few jokes along the way. I send them all our well wishes - told him that this VX family is pretty adamant about wanting to know what is going on and wanting to help. If Laura gets a breather she may post something soon.

[MSHardeman]

Anita,

Thanks for the update. It's good to know that Scott's spirits are still up and that he's still the goofy guy that we all know. If noises hurt him I guess the Colorado VX faction will hold off on visiting him for a while until he feels better. We can be a noisy bunch when we get together.

[don moore]

yes ..thx alot

[pbkid]

thanks for the update anita! mark and i were starting to get worried. we were thinkin of makin a visit, but we will hold off till he can handle us a little better.

maybe mail him some really good ear plugs ;) or maybe some noise cancelling headphones :naughty:

[tom4bren]

I'm still not done with the poster but need to go ahead and get it in the mail. I'll finish it up & send a complete version later. This is what it looks like (only poster sized so he can read all the names).


http://www.vehicross.info/gallery/data/500/Moncha_poster.jpg

[vt_maverick]

Very nice Tom! :thumbup:

[vt_maverick]

But why are some names darker than others?

[tom4bren]

But why are some names darker than others?

:_shrug:

It's not that way on the print (maybe it was something in the conversion from ppt to jpg).

Or ... alternate ending ... that's just an optical illusion.



Wish I had a higher res of the pic - poster size comes out pixellated (sp?).

[MSHardeman]

Excllent Tom! Thanks for doing that. I'm sure it'll lift Scott's spirits.

[Ldub]

Thanks for taking the time to put that together Tom...:thumbup:

[tom4bren]

Enny ting fer da boss.

The idea's been knocking around in the grey matter for a while. I just needed to get inspired.

BTW, That's prolly only about half the names in the members area. I'll hafta cut down the font size before I go any further (runnin out of room). The only problem is that it's so small on my screen I'm going blind trying to fit anymore in.:)

I thought about putting all the names in columns to make it easier but figgered that'd look dorky.

[handeeman]

Very nice, kinda like playing where's Waldo, I think Scott will love it. Especially when he sees my name. j/k very good work.

[MSHardeman]

Don't make the font too small, because as it stands it hurts Scott's head to try and focus on things. He may have to save trying to read all of the names for when he feels better....because he WILL get better....and SOON!

[tom4bren]

On an E size print, the names are prolly equivalent to 18 font on letter size paper. Maybe I'll try scrunching them closer together to make more space before I change the font.

[nfpgasmask]

Good job, Tom! I think Scott will really like it!

:thumbup: Bart

[Gussie2000]

I wonder what you guys think 'bout sending greeting cards with a medium size photo taken with you & your VX together that scott can keep in a album for thanksgiving day ?

I think scott will love the idea of having all his "kids" & VX's on one album as a gift

Let us talk about it !

[pbkid]

well done tom! looks great.
:thumbup:

gussie- ill follow along the rest of the group. whatever they decide to do...

[tom4bren]

"sending greeting cards with a medium size photo taken with you & your VX together"

If everyone is on board with that approach, how about posting a pic of you in front of your VX in your gallery. Photoshop in your handle (& name if you want). I'll put them all on an SD card and send it to him with a digital picture frame.

Print's done and sent. Scott should have it by the end of the week.

Y'all can go ahead and start posting pix now. Don't forget to put your handle on the photo. If you can't photoshop ... just hold up a sign in the picture. Remember, pix of your rig are great but what we're really after here is a pic of you with your rig.

[tom4bren]

Fantastic job Tom.

This project is good idea tom
Honestly was my girlfriend who told me about the greeting cards & photo idea (she loves to send greeting cards) I told her about the digital frame with SD card & she was like WOW much better.
This weekend my sis is getting married so i'll have the opportunity to take the shots,forecast shows that rain will be all over the northeast.hope it give us a break this saturday.

Tom i think we all shall have the pics ready to be loaded into the SD card & digital frame ready to be sent to scott's house at least two weeks before thanksgiving day.

Tom how can we help to cover the cost of the digital frame & SD card ?

[pbkid]

ill try to get a good picture to put in....

[tom4bren]

Tom how can we help to cover the cost of the digital frame & SD card ?

Whenever you post your pic, make a site donation. It's all on the honesty system. I don't wanna know if you did or not or how much you donated. If the "help out Scott" site is still active, you could make a donation there instead ... 'It don't make no nevermind to me'.

When it's all done, I'll put the pix on my pbase site. If you want to create your own digital picture frame, you'll be able to download the pix from there. I'll post the URL when it's done.

[Ms Moncha]

Tom, Gussie and All VX Family:
I have just finished reading the threads to Scott this Sunday morning. He is still having headache problems and we will be going to Denver soon to see the Neurologist. But I am having trouble writing this post as I can't see thru the tears. You have brought me to my knees with your unconditional love, good wishes, prayers, thoughts, support, and encouragement to keep hanging in there.

The poster is AWESOME. I read the names to Scott. It is a great surprise and will be framed and mounted soon. I am overwhelmed with the picture frame idea. Scott (and I) would truly, truly love to see all of the family, everyday with their smiling faces and their VXs.

We just don't know what else to say. In all sincerity, you inspire us with your support and willingness to freely do what ever, whenever with your brilliant ideas. You are all so creative and it just multiplies. You always know the right things to say (post).

I will promise to do a better job of posting updates on Scott. I had a bit of an accident myself recently with a lady that rear-ended me at a stoplight, while talking on her cell phone. I was stopped. She didn't. That slowed me up but am getting better.

Scott and I can't believe that this whole Family was formed off of one little, 2-door vehicle. Amazing.

Love,

[Ldub]

Thanks for the update Laura.
I just read it to Pat, & it put a smile on both our faces.
Sorry to hear that the Boss is still having headaches, & about your acci-dent.
But happy to hear that some good is coming of all this...:heart:

Love,

Being one of the junior members (owning my VX a little over a year), I would say what is amazing is that Scott (& Laura) had the love of one little 2-door vehicle to create this site and see if there were others that felt the same way. It's kinda like "If you build it they will come". I was hooked the 1st time I visited this site, I could feel the good vibes and read the members post in attempt to help each other. That all comes from the top. I am proud to be associated with this group.
Sorry, to hear about the accident Laura. You just take care of youself and "the Boss". We'll be fine here, post updates when ya can and feel like it. Prayers and good wishes continue to head your way.

[lasturbo]

Thanks for the update Laura!!
Our thoughts and prayers are with you!
The VX Fam is "rare" indeed just like our PUV's!!

Hope you guys can get over this unlike situation pretty soon.I really miss friday's call of duty meetings.

You guys rocks & i'm proud to be here with all you. :yesgray:

[tom4bren]

Laura,

Thanks for the update. Not a day goes by that I don't think about you & Scott. The poster is from the whole VX family & we're just glad to have something for Scott to enjoy during his recovery.

Woo Hoo - Old guys rock. Don has already posted his pic. All you snot nosed kids can just hang your heads in shame.:)

Don - that shot is perfect ... exactly what I was looking for.

Resolution doesn't matter. When I post them to pbase, one of the download options is 640x480 (which is what most digital frames want).

You are welcome to include spouse/kids/pets/significant other in the picture. This is the family picture album.

If you don't want to post a pic to a public forum, PM me & I'll give you my email addy to send it to (& I'll keep it off of pbase as well if you want).

BTW, you don't have to donate to the site to participate in this, it's voluntary and anonymous. Some asked how to contribute & since I don't have a paypal account, an extra donation to the site is best-est/easiest.

Edit:

Further discussions concerning the picture frame should go here (keep this thread for updates on Scott):
