Hi Folk, thought I would put this here for everyone who wants to read it.

I have been a bit lax just lately in, what I concider to be my duties here on site especially in the Gallery. Unfortunately my illness has caught up to me with a vengence, so much so that I have not done any modeling for a month due to being unable to control my hand tremors for long.

I am trying to see if I can get anything to help me with it (drugs etc. as it is uncureable) but I will do my best to keep up with things on site.

My thanks must really go to Jeff (USNAVY) at this time for his help on the Move It campaign.

So sorry if I have not been quick enough to do a few things.

Thanks
Cliff

PS> to all the friends I talk to on Msn Messenger. When I am this bad I switch messenger off. It is not that I do not wish to talk to you just that I find it real hard to type messengers sometimes.

Cliff,
As others have said, no need to apologize. Thanks for letting us know and we are all hoping you feel better soon. Keep the faith and I am sure the right drug mix will get you back to your old self.

It's a shame that human beings can't be as easily "tuned" as engines.

Take care,
Jim

No worries mate,
I thought that may have been the case.
Don't worry about us....................worry about yourself.
Hope to see you back soon

Don't worry about it - your health is more important.

Take care of yourself.

you do not need to apoligize for a diease that is beyond your control. It is not your fault. You could simply tell us and hopefully everyone'll understand. I hope you get better soon

Cliff

I can't add anything to what the others have said - your good health is far more important to all of us all than day-to-day input.

Let me know if i can ever help out...

Take care - my thoughts are with you

My dear 'Roo,

As you know, I've been aware of your condition for some time now. When I read your post, many, many things coursed through my mind. Several I wanted to say, and several that made me bite my tougue.
But, what stayed on the surface was this very strong thought. And that is this simple truth;
You never have need to apologise to your FRIENDS.

Of this you can certain of Cliff.......You, have FRIENDS. Of which, I sincerely wish to count myself amoungst their number.

Besides that ya bugger, I've only got a few hero's around these parts............get better, that's an order ya rounder!!

Tread.

Echoing what Gordon (Tread) so eloquently said you Don't have to apologise to anyone...

There is no reason to apologize for what you see as 'slowing down' if you hadn't done the work you have done on the Trucks Forum and the extraordinary work in the galleries, this site would not be what it is today.....

One last thing, I trust you and I will still be pissing each other off for a long time to come

Now,apologizing? Stop it ya Ozzie Bum!!! :-) ..Jim

You're in my prayers as well, Cliff.

Hang in there and please don't hold back your input. You are too valuable an asset for us to lose.

Apologize?! For what?! I can only echo what everyone else has said: You don't need to apologize to friends, especially if it's something beyond your control. Now, just sit back, and remember that you've got friends all the world round. That thought should lick whatever's ailing you. You're one heck of a person, and from what I've seen, you're just too plain stubborn to stay sick! You're in my prayers and thoughts. Get well soon.

Hey Roo,
Hang in there Buddy. I just want you to know that a lot of people here care, even tho we don't post much. You are one of the best modellers and nicest people here, and that's saying a lot. We are all pulling for you, and that's a lot of pulling, my friend. Your Armorama family is with you all the way.
