SubSim saves a life!!
 

I received a PM this morning that has me stunned and totally amazed.
Because of some 'silly' little work I did and posted here?
Someone has found a reason to carry on in the face of major hardships.

I feel that by being a Member here and haveing a place to post different things?
SubSim deserves the Credit for that person being around to PM me.

I hope the person that PM'ed me will allow some further disclosure.

But if not?

SubSim did save a life!!
:rock:

:Kaleun_Party: Now THAT'S good news

Having once been in "that" place where it was beginning to feel like I simply could NOT carry on... I can honestly say that one never knows what small, seemingly random thing might make the difference. For me it was a music video that was, at the time, in heavy rotation on MTV. (Yes, I am old enough to remember all the way back to the Cretaceous period when they still played music videos. :haha:) Seemed like whenever things would get really bad I would get up - even in the middle of the night - and switch on the TV and put it on MTV and within what seemed like a few minutes that video would appear. And it was just enough to get me through the next day, and then the next, until things changed for the better.

So I say that you just NEVER know. The (to you) random act of kindness or attention or just, you know, not being a jerk - may be the one thing that is "just enough" to get someone around you through another day, and then another. :yep:

@ Frau: By old do you mean Sailor Steve old?:hmmm:
Coz I remember when MTV played music videos.

Just for you Frau:

Subsim is just like one big family I guess, or a cult?

Now if subsim saving a life isn't a good enough reason to donate, I have no clue what is.
:rock: on subsim!

Being a well documented "Richard Cranium"?

It's not in my nature to care much about those I've never had any exchanges with in one way or the other.

I did contact Jimbuna about the PM as I trust him as a Friend and Advisor.
(Don't ask me why I'd trust a suspected Limo Hijacker!)

But I feel SubSim is the major reason for the whole thing.
And therefore deserves the Credit!!

I hope Neal understands just what he has made possible!!
:rock:

No, I remember when there was no MTV.

Jeff, that is good news indeed. Thanks for sharing.

:up: good to hear that you made an impression to help someone to go on!


and MTV get off the air! :arrgh!:

That's a nice bit of info you shared with us Jeff, hopefully it has a lasting effect!:yep: It's always sad when someone ends it, usually all they need is a shoulder and support, unfortunately a lot bottle it in.:oops:

Been in that situation... A lot.

Always the most random things that keep me from NOT carrying on.

Thanks for those kind words Jeff :sunny:

If the individual concerned gives permission to disclose I'm extremely confident many in our community will be moved by the details.

I'd certainly be looking toward a 'post of the year' award :sunny:

I think we're already quite moved, at least I am. Whoever is involved, and whatever was involved, well done all.

We are like a family, or cult, we have the odd disagreement, and we have the odd laugh (some very odd!), but we're always here - always someone ready to read a post and with a generally mature (in actions not necessarily in years) attitude which brings this site head and shoulders above the rest. In fact we're better than a family as we all choose to be here.

:yeah:

I'm just happy and proud to be a part of the community. I may have "shown up with the bus", but it's the riders who make the journey pleasant, interesting, and fun. :salute:

Jeff, thank you for sharing this.

If anyone ever doubted whether their actions here matter, we now certainly have some powerful evidence.

Yes, Jeff and I have vivid memories of trying to keep up with you on that Texan freeway (on the way to the gun range) :DL
