Help....Girl needs a cue.

You guys frickin rock ! You can bet you a$$ that inthe future I will look at webb billards before I look anywhere else. Great show of compassion and genorousity.
 
I stated earlier that I will donate a 2 DVD Jimmy Reid instructional set. If it's not wanted let me know. If so let me know who and where to ship to.
 
We should find out if she has a car to transport all this stuff. Might as well go that route too.
You guys rock.

I wanted to say on behalf of Jenny a heart felt Thank you!!!!.

I'm always taken back by the generousity from each and everyone of you. It is simply amazing to see the human spirit shine within this community as we rarely see how much people in the pool world truly care.

I've contacted Matthew from Webb Billiards for the most generous offer of a cue and case.

Big Texan - will be reaching out to you for some chalk.

Once she recieves these wonderful gifts..i'll make sure to take a photo of her with her new pool gear. Thanks again to everyone..this is a fantastic gesture that will leave an ever lasting memory of pool for someone really deserving.

I know why we haven't seen pics yet. Maybe neither has a camera!! That has to be it!! So what do you say lets pitch in and get them a nice camera, case and some extra batteries and surprise them!:rolleyes: Shit like this really pisses me off!
 
Yeah, I sent a jump/break cue and I never even heard if it received. Something seems strange here.

Pity !

That's a damn big pity !!!
God will judge ... hopefully .
I hope that the last big donation action for Shane (damn cancer) was a true one . Nothing good should be misused that f...ing way .
But maybe we should held up our heads high and be glad that their are still helpfull people . I am proud to be a pool man , because of all the giving guys ...

Greetings from Germany ...don't be sad , all of you did right
 
I think it's great the way everyone came together for this and I agree that regardless of what the OP did, it does not reduce what everyone did.

But... keep in mind that it's only the 5th and the OP may not have seen the girl who received the items since Christmas. Not sure when the leagues restart after Christmas so let's keep our fingers crossed that this wasn't a scam.
 
A Slightly Different Perspective

I know it may be kind of a bitter pill to swallow, but hold your heads up, you guys are OK, and not only in my book, but by the standards that all men should be held up to. You saw someone in need and you blindly tried to help. That's how it oughta be. Once you sent off your gift in good faith it was out of your hands. Like everyone that donated to the Salvation Army, or the Sandy Hook tragedy or whatever, once you wrote your check or or packed your cue and sent them off, or dropped your change in the bucket all you could do was hope. Although I may be a bit naive, I would choose to believe that the donations got to Jenny, no one really knows otherwise for certain.

Your charitable actions and expressions were admirable, if the OP took advantage of the time of year and your generous natures then the OP's actions were despicable. I would suggest that when similar threads pop up, as on occasion they do, if the forum isn't provided with photos of the recipient and their gifts then perhaps the Mods would take action and institute a ban from ABZ until photos can be provided, but not even so much as proof. Let me be clear, when I've given a cue or a football or a baseball mit or whatever item I've given as a gift, I don't do it for the thank you, I just hope for the opportunity to see the football played with or the coat worn, or the cue shot with. It brings the gesture full circle, and even if they never know where it came from, it gives me great joy and satisfaction to know it was used and appreciated, and frankly, it makes me smile and even if only for just that day, for me the sun shines brighter, the air is cleaner, I just feel better.

Giving from the goodness of your hearts I'm sure provided you some warmth as I'm certain it does every day, but if the OP lied and took advantage of you all, well then not only did they rob you of material items, but also you were robbed of the opportunity to feel a little better, and they may have even robbed the next person in need of your charitable nature. Perhaps you feel you've been burned once too often and it will not happen again. Whether moral or legal, the OP could be guilty of great crime, for that I am very sorry.

Whatever your feeling please don't let this affect your good and generous nature. Everyday I come upon someone that may need help or at least might like some help and everyday I try to help, I was just raised that way.

Everyday I find an opportunity to ask my self an age old question: Am I my brothers keeper?
You bet your ass I am, my brother needs me and I need them. It's not a religious thing. I'm not a bible thumper, or a Christian, or even a good Catholic, but really, if not me, then who?

You guys did a good thing, you deserve to feel good about it regardless of what may have really happened. Kudos to everyone that made a difference from the goodness of your hearts, there needs to be more like you.
