tigerdude,

I'm really sorry to learn your loss, well, it's really tough on you. I being a muslim say a Prayers for your friend "INNA LILLAHAY WA INNA ILLAHAY RAJAOON". We always say that prayer when anybody passes away meaning "And GOD/ALLAH CREATED US ALL & WE ALL HAVE TO GO BACK TO HIM ONE DAY". My deep condolences, and prayers.

I'm myself going through such hard time, I was about to sell out my car, but my sister stopped me from doing it and she paid me some money to get going. Im in excruciating severe financial crisis, whatever savings I had and my poor wife had we spent it. Im gonna be 36 year old on 18th May 2007, Im basically Pakistani and my wife is American from Texas. I've been going through crisis since year 2000, and unfortunately in 2007 these have gotten worse. I have a lot of debt of my friends, but I have a hope that Im gonna pay them back. I had one plane which was only asset of mine, a friend of mine lost it, he just got me an ARF thats all. Though he is doing pretty well knows my financial situation but never got me an engine, servos of JR, electron 6 Receiver nothing, though he went thru a heart attack, but nothing changed. He is not my real buddy buddy, just got to know him thru another good flying friend, as he was his neighbor and he didnt know about him that they both belong to same hobby. I've been waiting for my immigrant visa to USA since september 2006. On my birthday 18th May, its gonna be 8 months, and it doesnt take that much long, but unfortunately in my case its going on. I have been trying to get a job for the last 3 months I couldnt get it, unfortunately, this is crippled system of my country. Im Masters in business administration, did computer hardware course, my english is always considered best among all around, my personality had always been admired but no jobs, even today I called for a job, and the guy said, its gonna be done this week, I have things in front of my eyes, my hands are so close to it, but cannot grab it. This is whats going on with me, but Im not letting my hobby die, cos GOD is there to help me and He will. I'm waiting for a job, as well as my immigrant visa and the likelihood of getting the visa is month of may or june 2007. I wish you get over your crisis, and MAY GOD RENDER YOU STRENGTH TO GET OVER YOUR CRISIS, AND RENDER YOU SUCCESS. AMEEN/AMEN.

Good luck keep it put and never quit

Mody
