Wyatt Earp Posted May 28, 2014 Posted May 28, 2014 Thanks Wyatt!And guess what?I just found out I am on the retrenchment list AGAIN at my current company - they are chopping 85 people - senior managers and everything!Trying to make sense of it, but I believe in Him and that He has a plan for us.So the shoestring-budget single speed I have just built up will have to go too!!!But its ok - the second child is here now, and I don't really have time to ride her anyway.And we plan to leave SA at end of year also, so its not so bad. I like your positive attitude.
FrancoisC Posted May 28, 2014 Posted May 28, 2014 This made my day. I firmly believe in helping others. And this story has warmed my heart today. Thank you for sharing.If it warmed your heart, imagine how my family felt.People here are incredible.I'm certain you were one of them that time, Wayne.Thank you and God bless and keep you!

semisub Posted May 28, 2014 Posted May 28, 2014 I don't know Carpet but I love the Hubber spirit. I have paid forward as well. DIPSLICK 1
FrancoisC Posted May 28, 2014 Posted May 28, 2014 I like your positive attitude.A wise man once told me I am a fighter....I don't want to tarnish his good opinion of me now! When you've been rock bottom, and seen its not SO bad, and that life goes on, you learn to be a lot more positive about the blessings in your life, no matter how small. ITS COLD! But hey, the sun is shining!I CANT AFFORD TO TAKE MY WIFE OUT FOR DINNER! But hey, I am a good cook, and can treat her myself!I CANT AFFORD PRIVATE SCHOOL FEE'S! But hey, my children are beautiful and healthy! ruib, Pusher, Help.Me. and 9 others 12

MaXiMuM Posted May 28, 2014 Posted May 28, 2014 Oh, thought you had donated them... Nope, everything is gone, stolen, and CycleUNsure are uninsuring it...
plonker Posted May 28, 2014 Posted May 28, 2014 Hi all. I am unable to contribute financially as my present finances won't allow me. I don't want to derail the initiative to collect money to replace the bike, but it strikes me that the insurer is getting off lightly, possibly because it is too inconvenient, frustrating or time- consuming to force it to pay. I also don't know what the circumstances of the matter are and how Carpet's bike was wrecked (perhaps someone can direct me to a thread that clarifies this), but what I am able to do is to give my time and to try to pressurise the insurer into meeting a valid claim. If I am successful maybe someone else can be helped out of the money, or everyone who was kind enough to contribute can be refunded. Little Fish 1
FrancoisC Posted May 28, 2014 Posted May 28, 2014 (edited) no...i am missing it? Well, if the bike was STOLEN.......... and the wheels and groupset "MIRACULOUSLY SURVIVED"...... OH COME ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Edited May 28, 2014 by FrancoisC
