We could make it 50,000 sponges, but then I'd have nothing to do with them. Probably not one of my better ideas. Pat |

BTW, Pat, my dear aunt had the bubble thing going in the mid 90's. Soon as she had it done, my father (her brother) died and she had to come to the funeral holding her head face down on a pillow! Despite all the crying she did fine and has pretty good vision today at 83. I'm sure they're way better at it now.

Pat, you rock.
Your work for the CW section has been great, and your love for the 914, they way it came from the factory is great. Go original/concours cars! (yes, my car isnt completely correct) I hope you feel better. Ditto on the idea of 2 moderators though. If you need someone that will be willing to check things out, and willing to learn more about the concours 914, I might want to help fill in the (2nd) moderator position. I have alot to learn, but I want to learn, so it works. |

Pat ps: I'll change my avatar when Naberhaus loses the Euro VW plate on the front of his perfect 914. |

Mark, Thanks, and thanks for making it easily visible with my right eye. Others may think you're yelling, but I appreciate it. Things will hopefully work out, but the Admins are helping select a new moderator. Think you'll be pleasantly surprised. My sincerest thanks for all the positive comments from all of you. Someday some of you will go through negative things also. I hope we're here to help, as you have been. Not leaving, but relinquishing the command - for the best of everyone. Hope to be back in the near future in my cantankerous best. Let's let the forum get on with more important things. Soon! Pat |

QUOTE(Pat Garvey @ Jun 16 2008, 07:08 PM) I don't think I can do this anymore. I'm not asking for pity, just someone to step forward as the moderator. Why? It took me 4 minutes to post the mast 2 sentences. I am not askig for pity - just someone who can see with both eyes to noderate this forum. I have hole in the retina of my left eye, and a bunch of floaters in the right. Seen the races where thae camra is in the cockpit & the wiper moves from left to right to clear the lens? What I see in ONE eye is the wiper moving back! The other eye is close to dead. Hole in the retina. As much as I'd love (really) to continue being my asshole self......I can't do it! Why, at the mere age of 61 am I losing my vision? Who knows, but I can no longer be trusted to drive a car. Along with the other very trying things that have happened this year. (95 year old mother moved to a nursing home/86 year old mother-in law with a stroke), I can no longer concentrate on this forum. It kills me! 914 hasn't been touched in3 months - losing interest quickly. '73 T has't been touched either - sad. I've kept these problems from my best friends during this period, because they are MY problems. I've also been a bit confrontational during this period, because I'm a private person & I am really pissed. I just wanted you good people to know what's been going on......& why I've been testy. Not asking for any pity (PLEASE!). Just wish someone will step forward as a new moderator of this forum. Have to keep the the purpose going. I can't do it anymore. Sorry. Pat Well I guess I am the third from Colorado to be 'bummed' of your news...... I have been off of this forum for months----And see your post...... A big prayer for you tonite coming your way..... If I could CLONE myself would love to help out here... But my wife REALLY would not want 2 of me at this time!! Let Skip take the 'Wheel' and drive for a while.. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) while you relax (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif) Good Luck and God Bless yah Pat!! |

Pat I truly wish you well, getting old sucks...
I've always respected your knowledge of the orginality of these cars. I will constantly refer to the insight and wisdom of this forum when I begin the restoration of my LE. Between you, this forum and Steve Gaglione, I know I'll put the car back together as it was originally... Again Pat, I hope you get better...and thanks for everything... -- Rob |

Update!
My eyes have been abused by four different Opthomologists at this point. Three of the four have said that all I have is a case of severe "floaters", and that I'll need to live with them. The other one was quick to subscribe to laser surgery, which is dangerous at best and unproven. Because I am so nearsighted, I have these things & will have to live with them. Haven't fully adjusted, but I guess i will - ultimately. During this period I've realized that this forum, though not as exciting as it once was, is ddoing just fine without a moderator. Could use some more traffic, but it IS a wierd forum. I'd like to seriously thank all of you who have expressed concern for me! I mean that! It's meant a lot to me. I'm a person who's never had a health problem & this was sever enough (to me) to throw me into a panic! Other than having my tonsils removed in 1954, I've never been in a hospital. Rarely needed a doc's attenetion. Life just went on. So it scared me - a lot! Thanks to those who expressed concern - you know who you are. And I guess I should apologize for overreacting without enough info - sorry, I was scared! Pat |
