I'm offering my apology of the handling of the situation posted in the "Suggestion" forum and hope it is accepted. I'm extremely stressed out, running hot, and am at my width-end.

In order to avoid further incidents or reactions to things I will take a break from the review. I will stop by to read the threads, but will not post anymore until I know what is happening with my personal life and feel that I can take responses/events directed at me in a non-personal matter.

I will be talking to folks on here via pm, but that's about it. If you need to get in touch with me for whatever reason, or are interested in things I am selling off, PM is the way to do it.

Anyways, my apologies again and I will check back in later in the year.

Cheers, Ollie

Hope all goes well with the job situation. Keep us posted.

good luck ollie, if I can help, let me know...

Hang in there Ollie, Hope all goes well!!

Nothing wrong with taking a little break. Best of luck.

Hang tuff O, surely with your skill sets another job in that field will not be any problem...worst case scenario, you can come down to the Redneck Riviera and go to work for Daimler Benz, they have an awesome plant down here, first rate.

PS-please keep the "o-list" pm's coming...

Like Rick said, nothing wrong with taking a break, I dont think you need to apologyse for anything.

ollie i think you don't have to apologies.
and if that is what you think that you need, it is alright.
do what is best for you.

and we will be in touch with you even by pm, or e-mail.

man, strenght to you and wisdom, and peace.

may god less you and your family.

and that you will have a positive out come soon

Ollie, Family is first bro, Take care of them and everything else will follow.... As I said before, If you need anything, Let me know.......

good luck man. You gotta do what is best for you and the family. I have an idea what you are going through. A number of years back my wife and I had a similar situation and I decided that I had to sell part of my firearm collection. It tore me up to sell some of them but I had to do what I had to do to provide for my son and daughter, and that is the most important thing to me.
I think we all respect your decision.

Take it easy, there alot more important things in life than sunglasses. Best of luck.

Ollie you are one of the most resourceful people on OR. Everyone here knows that it takes great effort and timing to have amassed a collection of such depth. You have an eye for the old and new, which endows you the respect and envy of fellow reviewers.

Your generousity is clearly felt in the words of the members who stand by your side and have benefitted in the good of knowing you. It is no accident that you incur such favor among your friends and fellow collectors. This is the act of a conscience and sensitive nature. Your presences in this forum needs no apology, as I am sure everyone will attest too.

Through the path of the obsessed we learn who we are and what we can be. This path is not wasted. You have found the better end of a Sale and have given more than was asked. You were not limited or discourage from your pursuits. A confidence I for one could learn from...

This is not the act of a man randomly bouncing around the planet. All This is evidence of someone, who when he puts his mind to it, can unlock the doors before him. You are the key as you know you have always been. Be the man you know your wife knows you to be and trust in the person we have all had the pleasure of knowing. A door is before you, take a step into the next part of your life.

Use what you have. Be what you are!

All My Best

extremely well put and very deep..

ollie

best for luck and know that we are going to be here when you need us.
