My Wife

[MoparManJim]

I'm not sure where to post this at, so I'm posting it here. My wife made this the other day to help me out. I know save my money up and get another and so is she. But I have come to learn a lesson, when my wife says "Don't worry, I have everything under control.. you worry to much" she doesn't have things under control.

We all have dreams. I pay for mine myself. Why beg for freebies? Where is your pride? This isn't a request for a sandwich or a blanket...You know, stuff that you might NEED to survive.
Seriously, the whole "go fund me" thing smacks of begging like a panhandler.

I'm sorry but this ridiculous.   I had to work 2 jobs to get my first Charger and make it road ready.

Now go sell some of the wife's junk to help fund your Charger wants.

sorry MMJ , what the other guys say !! don't think posting that is a good idea    

I'm sorry but this ridiculous.   I had to work 2 jobs to get my first Charger and make it road ready.    

yeah snap me too ,  about 80 - 90 percent  ( serious ) of my wages , !  first job ,  back when I was 16 -17 went on ,  saving up for my charger

I bought my car in 2008-9 saved for almost 5 years in order to buy it. Saved up another 8-10k in parts. As it sits its on a rotisserie now primed all over metal work done. 1 quarter panel on paint. Probably be another 2 years until it will move under its own power.

Im now selling one of my other cars to make a final push to get it done.

You need to set your priorities and go from there. As mentioned asking for hand outs to be able to  eat/live are one thing. to ask for $$ to buy a toy nope.

its taking me over 15 years to restore my car, there were years when I didn't spend a penny on it as having 3 kids, a house and mortgage has a way of re directing my funds 

[RECHRGD]

MMJ,  as you can tell, you're not going to get anywhere with that request on this forum.  Most everyone here has worked hard and done without in order to own their "dream" car.  Just good old working class people that don't ask for much, other than the freedom to pursue their lives as best they can....

Like that they say, it doesn't hurt to ask though. I'm just still piss off at my wife and what she causes. 

I would like to apologize to the folks of this board if I got mouthy or sounded like it to them.

[WHITE AND RED 69]

People I didn't come back here to make fights. This place at one time was like home to me.. but when it faded away I left for a while.. and for the last few years I been away and come back to find that dead feeling here as well..  

I also would like to point out that it seems to me that some of you don't know HOW to read stuff but rather just assume shit is all. I was not asking for freebies at all, It was asking for "help""if" "anyone" "would" "Like" "to" "help" is the key words. It didn't say you had to help. Learn how to read. My wife typed the fund thing and I just went an read it myself after some of you started right in.

Also I hate to do this, but you guys want to bitch at me for the fund thing, I can point out a pinned topic at the very top of this area that is also asking for donations (even from a few years ago) too for a nother member! Now isn't that a hand out or a freebie too? Yes it is. But I didn't see anyone bitching in that pinned topic though how ever.. why is that a friend of your own. So why don't you take an march right up there and start in that thread as well on that person begging.  

Wow...I think you need to read the thread pinned at the top again. That was for donations to help someone going through a tough situation. And she never asked for anything, the members were the ones who wanted to help out. You are just asking for a hand out.  

Work for it! You will appreciate it more when you earn it.

And I proudly gave her some money.  No one would want to go through 1/3 of what she has.   That is what Fund Me is about.  Not to get raise money for a car.   

As I say to a bunch of people that are looking to get in - start small and get to your goal.  Chargers are not cheap to begin with.   Get an A body and work your way up.

Ummmmmm did you actually read any of the pinned thread ?

The lady was bed ridden and couldn't work to put food on the table.

Apples and oranges.

The second you mentioned that thread, you just struck a nerve with a lot of members and threw out ANY chance you had of getting donations man. Now you just sound really damn petty. That thread was a whole different type of circumstances. Jackie has helped A LOT of us out in the past. She was and STILL IS battling a lot of health issues and she was forced to almost sell her Challenger because of it, we all did it to help her out because of how much she means to us. She never ONCE asked for handouts, a member started the campaign. Comparing you simply wanting a Charger to a campaign that was started to help a single mother battling massive health issues keep the one thing that means to world to her (besides Shelby of course).... that is absolute bullshit.

[XH29N0G]

Jim,  I just scanned this and agree that this site is not a good site to ask for donations, but people do and for good and bad reasons.  Jackie's case was compelling.

I wish you and your wife the best with this, but once posted, one just has to deal with the feedback (as you implied you might in the original post), and then move on.  

None of us has everything under control, bumps and slip ups happen, and who knows, maybe you will hit the right note with someone.

That's not my dam luck at all.. but some has all the luck though..

[Dino]

This is not about luck or comparing yourself to others. That's not how it works. I wouldn't trade my spot with a lot of folks who can afford a few dozen cars as everyone has something going on in their lives.

Asking for money for a damn car when the object of the gofundme page is to help out those in need is a seriously low blow to those who really need it. Then bitching about Jackie's post which is a completely different scenario just made it worse. And now you're blaming your wife? I'm sorry but did you not post the link to the page? I guess you were fine with it up to that point huh? Funny you two also use grammar and spelling the same.

Maybe you shouldn't have come back.

Why wasn't your first gofundme post on this forum about your father inlaws burial ? Instead it was for funding a car ? Priorities man get him in the ground before worrying about a car.

a quote from your other go fund me thread

I am posting this on behalf of my mother-in-law and also my... wife. https://www.gofundme.com/2pp8dk4 Now I have went and read what she typed and can say it's a fact. I also talked to my Mother-in-Law about my dad as well to make sure of things was correct. My wife asked me to post this NOW before any one jumps down my dam throat let me just give a little about my late father-in-law. He had a few kids, 3 daughters to be honest, I got the middle age one as a wife. The other two doesn't live close at all to there mother like me and my wife does. My wife took care of her dad up to 2012 when she was kick out of her parents house and came to live with me and it was that year we got married in. My son decided to live with grandma an grandpa an help them out. At the time my late dad was in fact having issues with his brain tumor and taking cemo which as I understand it cause more issues with his tumor. In 2013 was when he went down hill when he had a medical issue happen at his house, you see on April 28 2013 his tumor burst from a blood clout due to the chemo therapy he was going through. That night he was life flighted to Pittsburgh and DOA down there BUT some how they had manage to revive him as mom gave the orders, she wouldn't give up.. but took his family a few weeks later he finally started to come around in the hospital, BUT due to the blood clout and what had happen, the brain surgery they had to do on him the night he arrive there to keep him living took his whole right side out. His right arm and leg was parallelized (sp?) and he was wheel chair bound from there on. When he left the hospital a month later he went to a rehab place not far from the Pittsburgh Hospital AGH and in late 2013 in the Fall he came home to be his family and didn't look like himself, but sure acted like himself though. He was a prankster even in his wheel chair, he would also hit people at times LOL ask my wife as she got clock in the rear when she annored him. He went to therapy each week, there landlord was a real butt hole and in the hardest time for my mother-in-law and father-in-law (dad) he had the nerve to trow a disabled man out along with his family in the fall of 2014. We help them out best as we could, mom and dad even stayed at a hotel for a week before we found out they was kicked out of there place. Mom and dad got help from her mom (which was hard to do) and got a house trailer and got it set up out in town. My wife and I helped her out on her hard times with dad. dad was trying to get better but in the spring of 2015, late April my wife got the phone call she didn't want to hear, that morning her dad past away in the Ambulance in there driveway at around 7AM. The family relatives promise mom they would chip in for the stuff including the girls, My wife and I been helping mom pay on important stuff but still a ways off, we had a few events kinda chip in and help her out last year. No one else in the family wants to.. or they claim they don't have the money but yet can get new cars and eat out. My mom barley gets any assents and trying to keep her car running and going and she takes care her two grand kids, and my son does his best to help her out as well.

[MoparManJim]

If you don't want to help, that is fine, just shut the heck up.. no one is making anyone on here do any dam thing... now are they? NO.

A post was made, it didn't state that anyone who had click on it had to help out now did it? NO. There is two different scenarios itself.. LOL. 

MAYBE if folks would read better, maybe they would understand things better. BUT when they don't that is how things goes sharp right turn in 1 second.

I have come back here, if you don't like I don't give a shit, I'm a member here just any of you all are. I'm not the smartness dam tool in the shed and never claim to be either for that matter. I was ONLY "asking" for a little help NOT all of it. I didn't say anyone "had to".

Also for the recorded it is my wife fault and also my dam fault as well as I trusted her. YEA that's my fault and no one else's. You think my spelling is bad? you should see hers! It's worst then mine. I always have to get on her butt to get things done around the place and even at home I get called names by her too, I bust my back side around the house all the time while she sets back and yet when I say something I get called this & that name by her too.. then I come on here and people says I can't do this shit right or that.. YOu have no idea what my life is like. I also don't want NONE of you to feel bad or sorry for me either even if you don't want to.

[Dino]

You can sugarcoat this all you like. What you did was shame full, plain and simple. You want to stoop so low as to use something intended to get actual help for an effin' car? Be my guest. Good luck with that.

Maybe if you had just asked for advice as to how to raise a few bucks to help you acquire a car you could have gotten some help. Heck I've seen plenty people give stuff away to help another member, I've done so myself AND I've received a few parts as well thanks to some kind and generous folks.

But it's the way you did it that rubbed me the wrong way.

Sure, stick around, I don't care.
