Well yes it is me again. Seems I just can't get out of this slump. I sit here on this damn computer because I have lost all my friends because of something stupid that I did. oh well I hope this ends soon.

Well Snorat, everybody has crappy periods. I got up at 0500 this morning to take the Saturn into the dealer to have what was supposed to be only suspension upgrades to cure some noises made during left and right turns, as well as a resonant sound between 55 and 65 mph. A four hour process where I spent that time walking to several different stores in a 3 mile radius of the dealer. I get back only to find that the dealer has decided that they need to put in a brand new tranny on a car with only 6100 miles on it. Now I'm driving this POS Chevy Malibu, (well it COULD have been a metro), while they replace an item on my car that for the life of me, I cannot figure out how they came to this conclusion. Further this by my tractor being down due to a massive fuel leak, and having to order parts for it. My yard is knee high. :doh:

I'm home alone every night. Mostly because I cannot stand the type of "fun" that most of the people I know like to have.

I don't know what you did to get your friends mad at you, but good friends will typically settle down and forgive any mess ups that other friends may do.

If they are the true friends you hope they are, don't be surprised when they turn up after cooling down. No ones perfect and everyone (with in reason) screws up from time to time, don't beat yourself up. Take Care.....Rick. :D

Hang in there buddy. You always have friends here at SW.

But these guys are right. If you screwed up, admit it, and give them some time to cool down. Time heals all wounds.

:withstupid: Hang in buddy

We all make mistakes.True freinds are forever,if they can't forgive,to heck with them. You always have buds on SW ;)

Keep things in perspective and keep your head up high.

Hang in there SNO RAT,

All of us consider you a friend and we are here if you need us.

I know how you feel, I am depressed as all hell. I am running out of money waiting for my house to get refinanced and my arm is screwed up even more now. I may have to sell my sled to either cover bills waiting for the refinance or sell it cause I may not be able to ride anymore because of my arm. :( ???

Come' on what is this a pity party? Life goes on cheer up! :thumbsup:

Hey guy's look what happening in the Rockies they are geting snow that means that it will be coming here soon. Like everyone is saying true friends will forget as time goes on. Hang in there SWRules

Hang in there buddy. Been there done that. (heck, I think I'm there right now) If friends are friends, it'll blow over. At least we're still here for ya.

go for a run or a walk, do something that will take your mind off your problems. you said "GOD" i hate depression, well GOD won't let anything too bad happen to you. a woman once was upset feeling very down and told the minister who told her to wash the floors in the homes in the entire neighbourhood with a scrub brush and a bucket on her hands and knees. she felt fine after that.

I agree with Fishhog.Apologize for what has happened and if your friends are any type of friends at all they will forgive you. :) :) If they dont then maybe they weren't true friends to start with,and you are better off without them.Besides we here at SW are your friends.Cheer up buddy :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

Hey Rat,you said you dont have any friends anymore because of some thing you did,well I know that feeling,I think most people do,but like swallowing a quarter,this too shall pass ;) ,we all have problems,and they all seem large at the time,its how we handle them that measures a persons character,I recently heard of a guy that went into a hospital for some routine surgery,contracted some sort of infection,lost his arms and legs,so now this guy is basicly a torso,but when he got better,he kept his promise and married his fiance, and was trying to resume as much of his life as possible, and of course this was something the talking heads at the major networks got wind of,and while being interveiwed all I could think of was what a great guy he is,I wish I had his optimisim,and no matter how bad it is for me,thank God I'm not him,now your problem is important,I'm not trying to trivialize what your going through,just try to remember ,you have friends,people that will listen,and sometimes thats what we all need,I mean,look at all the people on SW that took time to help cheer you up,its all good,just take what you can handle,concentrate on whats important, and try to learn from this,God does'nt close one door without opening another. so good luck and as ol Red say's "Keep your stick on the ice!"

Hey Snorat, I came across this pic and thought of you.It always makes me smile :)

Snorat, look at all the responses here. Keep your head high, and focus on something else that you enjoy...every minute you spend thinking about something else, is one less minute that you spend thinking about losing your friends.

ZRT600, are you going to get a second opinion on that arm? I would sure hate to see have to give up this sport. How long 'til your refi is done?

We have to remember, it could always be worse, even though it doesn't seem possible at the time. And, everything happens for a reason, no matter how bad it appears to be at the time.

Anybody hear from Snorat lately? ???

I was just thinking that exactly Wolfie :(

Thanks again for the support guys/gals. It has been a couple days since I have checked in because I had my service shut off on me (did not have the money to pay the bill in time). I had to go beg for 2000.oo from my grand father so I would not lose the house but things are starting to look up since I just sold one of my vehicles to pay him back and pay off another loan. So far it does not look too good as far as sledding for me this year.

With all the sleds John has you should be able to pick one out no problem!!
If nothing else I'll let you take mine out for a spin(as long as you don't mind putting up with a cat)hehe One way or another we'll get you out some time this winter! ;)
Glad things are looking up for ya Rat! :thumbsup:

I have not talked to John for about 2 months as he is poed at me for some reasons I can't get into on the net. He has been my only "Real" friend I thought untill lattely. I tried to email him an appology etc but he has not responded so I quess I will have to find another friend. As far as sleds I do not mind Cat as they are good machines and I would own one if I had the money and if they built one that I liked ie 600 class racer model with clicker shocks,clear tank, carbed,high bars etc. But the way things are now I don't think I will beable to get another machine for sometime. Unless I get the boat sold and get something cheap.

Good to hear from ya Rat!!

:) Nice to hear you are safe and sound Snorat.Dont worry I am sure all things will work themselves out in time. :)

Rat,
Even though I don't know you and you don't know me I wish you well and would not wish the feeling of despair on anyone. Having been there and done that I can sympathize with you but cheer up it can always be worse. For me realizing how precious life really is happened when in the hospital with an infection that looked like it would take my life. Lucky for me I had an excellent doctor, a strong will to live and have since recovered.
If the people you felt were friends have turned their backs on you due to a human error you made,and can't find it in their hearts to forgive you, move on, as they were never the friends you thought them to be in the first place. Don't let them kid you, we all make some wopper mistakes from time to time.
Rick.

I'm with Rick and Lady K.

Good to hear from you Rat. Hang in there buddy.
