Sad history but true, unfortunately !

Im a new menber, and amazed with the knowledge of most, i have been checking the site just about every chance i got; i've made friends around the country and out, surprisingly learned valuable lessons troughout all the explanations and opinios here posted.
Pool, for me, literaly changed my life, (considering that wen you acctualy was about to give it up of it !), found myself meeting people and friends around a pool table, bought myself a 2 piece cue (Viper), and a Wal-mart case, and fortunately the taste of keep going returned to me, couldn't wait for the next night at the pool table.
Nowadays, my knowledge has subtantially increased, even at the point of not beeing able to make some shots like the ones in the past, and I mean "gosh", I could make an 8 on the break at least once every night; and now with the change of my stroke, break concepts and english applications, 8-O.T.B. is kinda RARE, if you know wath i mean !!!

Anyway, apologies for my T.M.I., feels better though, feels like sharing w/ people like me, my kind of folks... And I pray, DOT NOT Ttake your eyes of your "babies", or unnatended

Returnig to the main subject, as I keept growing more and more excited about "Quality Cues/Custom Made" etc; seriously started to plan on how to get rid of my cues -(Lucasi L98 w/ matching 314 shaft; Pred.SPWU w/ Z shaft and Moori tip, and lucasi L-2000 J/B, and a relatively nice case... , most of it had been purchased from Nielsen's, he knows me,wow he even ask-me a brazilion dollars for that cue ! ) all of this that have took soooooooooo long to aquire, due to my finacial situation, had to be GONE ! Stolen ! ! !.

Trought the night, furios and depressed, wishing to get a hold of the neck of that person, and not let go until he was more than PURPLE, YES sireeeee, breathless, lifeless; AHHHHHHHHHHH CRAP, i'm so pissed that ican not eve think straight. It just happened yesterday, I cant believe it !!!!!

Ok, theres a bit of good news, i've been jobless for a wile but now I got my job back in a small poll-hall, like i had before, cuz the bar had to be closed for a couple of months, grand reopening really soon, i hope !!!

I believe I'll have to step out of this magnificent forum, at least for wille, reason that- ( I'm REALLY jealous of yall cues, thats all !)
Anyway, since I've had some good stuf (at least for my affordabilyty), I confess, it will be hard to go back to house cues, but I vow, with all my might that when the right time comes, I'll be back, whishing for the help/knowledge of such wise personalities that I've found on this site, in the search for the impossible ( I KNOW ! ),something good and affordable at the same time ( Hun, keep on dreaming Ricky !) ohhh well... Never give up hope !!! I'm a bit suspect and or not so worthy of that frase, considering that this dumb ass spent 5 or 6 hours with a 12GA.Winchester, that blood blistered the roof of my mouth in a long night, soon after my separation(Wich by the way could be posted for sale, hey now thats an idea !!!)

Anyway,apologies for the T.M.I., kinda made me feel better though !
Just dont leave your cues/case unnatended, to me right now is the second worst feeling I ever had; the 1st one was loosing contact w/ my baby boy " Kyle ", ohhhhhhhh shoooot, crying on the dam keybaord....

Sicerely, your Brazilin frind , Rick.

Rick, it sounds like you are in a lot of torment and anguish right now. I will include you in my prayers that everything turns out ok for you. You sound like you would be a good candidate for a cue through the Pay it Forward thread.

Take care,
Linda
 
People probably think I'm crazy because I take my Schon to the mens room with me unless I'm playing with someone who can watch the cue.

My advice on the rest of your post, there will always be some bad people around but there will always be a lot of good people who will be willing to help you and expect nothing in return but your friendship. Focus on the good people and take this world one day at a time.

If you drink alcohol, quit. It won't help.

Thanks Linda,Its hard you know ? I guess I need a shower and call a friend (that has more than 1 cue), and go play somewere !!!
 
Wow, I can't believe I've wrote all that !!!!!!!!!!

Apologies for the AZ'ers !

Reading that old post made me wish, right now, that I could delet it, well, maybe i could ask Mr. Wilson ?!?!?!?; I'm kinda little ashamed about it :o ; but hey I was maaaaaad !!!

So again, in the other hand, it might wake up some people that gets confortable/overconfident about not worrying with theyr cues; keep'en safe guys/girls!...:(.....A poll hall/bar is generaly open to the public, so you never know...

Rick, nothing to be ashamed of, don't even think that. Many of us have been THERE and know exactly how you felt. Those that haven't been there may be a little more careful thanks to your post. Good luck to you.

Hey Rick its okay to vent...gets it off your chest. I know how you feel...my whole cue case was stolen while on vacation last month. Lost all my cues etc.. W'ell fortunately for me my home owners policy will cover enough to get going again. If you want just to hit some balls sometime swing on down to Durham and we can get up.
 
This thread really demonstrates the character of the majority on this MB.

Believe you me, on most MBs the vultures would be waiting to creep out of the dark, and jump all over this post, but all I see are people reaching a hand out to help.

It ain't the end of the world, maybe close though!:confused:
You need a cue, hell, I will send Varney a Richard Black four point for a refinish and maybe he will send it to you. You never know dude. Hell, I even got a Whitten 1x2 new case for it. What do ya think Varney?
Purdman:rolleyes:
You send it sir...I'll make it new again...and send it to Rick.
A little good Karma...goes a long way.
An outstanding gesture as I've ever seen...Purdman is indeed a fine gentleman.

For those that don't know....Don's generosity to members on this forum is legendary! He has given away more cues (nice ones) then you can shake a stick at...........and he gave me an instroke case BACK one day at his house that I sold to him previously. He wasn't using it, it was sitting there, I commented on how much I loved that case at one point, and he just gave it back. How cool is that???
 
i couldnt imagine losing that much at once. my first cue was a cheepo cuetec and i was royaly pissed when that got stolen...good luck and congrats with the generous offers headed your way
