Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, . That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Poal go down.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, and you're a regular participant, then just ask theBuddha, or myself.

If you do know what's going on, you probably don't need to click that link - but you may want to, to make sure you know of the other features, such as the archive or a separate forum that's invite only.

Remember, we are guests here on Poal. Let's act like it. If you're interested in supporting Poal, then .

That would probably be a huge blessing for them at the moment

That's what I figure. It'd mean more than me showing up in person. It's also not all that expensive. You can make it expensive, but it doesn't need to be.

The widow is supposed to call me tomorrow to let me know what's going on. I guess he had some life insurance, but that isn't all that quick. That can take forever to come through.

LOL This isn't even the first time I've done similar. I mentioned someone local passing away. Well, I covered their expenses and they're supposed to pay me back after probate. I don't actually care if they do - so long as they at least make an effort to do so. If they make an effort to do so, I'll likely decline the money. They can use it far better than I can.

It's not ego, it's just numbers.

For me, spending 5 figures is like many people spending $10, in proportion to our net worth. So, it's like $10 for me as compared to $10k for them. I'm not out a whole lot of money by helping friends and family.

So, I don't mind that much. As long as they at least offer to pay me back, I'm good.

I'm sure that would ease her mind a little

Yeah, it should...

Dinner will be a smoked brisket. It will be delicious. The ladies are supposed to be making the sides - in a timely fashion.

I'm not opposed to an entire meal of meat!

I'm also sipping the wine pretty fierce today. It seemed like the thing to do. If I'm gonna be sad, I might as well be drunk and sad.
