Thinking
Hi all, been offline again. I got back to Tajikistan then had to tun around and come right back home because mom was sick and to go to a govt school for a week. I got back on April 8 and saw Mom. She died April 10. I went to school April 13-18 and now I m in Austin Texas for a week before going back to California for services.
Best friend got a Tag with .55 carats in diamonds and a mother of pearl pink face. I am tempted my the Zeniths, Rolexes, and other watches here. I have a Milgauss available, also a GMTIIc which looks very very very nice after all. First time I saw on in person. I may get it. And the new Air Kings are very nice after all. Sorry I have been away. Austin this week, then California then Tajikistan. Yes I miss Mom. She was 69, smoked like crazy and regretted it. She did not live to see her youngest son marry one day or me find another true love. My world is a little grayer, but life is a little tastier. Oh, and the Zenith I liked was $18k. I decided I will do like Mom. I will die with $3,000 in the bank and a smile on my face. I missed you guys. It is nice to be back. Robert www.astcell.com |

Good to have you back. Hope everything is ok, I know the death of a parent can be a crazy thing. You think you can handle everything in life and all of a sudden, you find out life isn't quite as predictable as you thought. Keep a smile on your face and keep moving forward.

Sorry about your Mom. I understand completely. Lost my Dad in 2005 because of a 2 pack a day habit. He left me a little money and I blew it all on Rolexes. When I wear one of those I think of him.

be strong and remember that at least you managed to see your mother in her last days. some people cant even do that. they have to hear about the news over the phone in another country, and no airline no matter how much $$$ you dangle in front of their faces are gonna cart you back to your hometown.
furthermore life is like checking into hotel, you check in and you check out with no baggage. i know because ive been around this since young and learn to accept it.

Robert, I've just read your thread and I offer my condolences at this time.
Your positive stance to move forward and your resolve is, I'm sure, inspirational to others that have recently lost someone close. I wish you every success in your future acquisition. Kind regards.

Great to hear from ya' again, Robert. Very sorry to hear about the passing of your mother. Tough to deal with when you have the time much less when under a tight schedule. Every mother wants their children to be happy. So continue to make your mother proud.
Godspeed, dP
