JJ... first, I sincerely hope that everything is worked out quickly, your health is the most important aspect of life, and I know how frustrating it can be trying to keep our old parts working! Like... your ball joints for example... Anyway, one other thing.

Believe in Karma JJ? See.. I do, and I sincerely believe if you do something NICE for someone... oh... anyone really, like someone in San Diego maybe... something nice like... oh.. put them on the TOSSER list.....

NavitimerNut · 2 February 2010, 09:28 AM

JJ, in all that you are going through must be tough, but look on the bright side... You still have me

!!!

mailman · 2 February 2010, 09:49 AM

First off JJ I hope things get better with your eye

You have your family and you all have your health and that's most imporant.

The teeth and the car can and will be fixed. As overwhelming as it sounds right now, it's not that bad in the big picture. Look how fortunate you are

Going to the GTG this Thursday should put you in a much better mood

Brunotheboxer · 2 February 2010, 09:51 AM

SAVE JJ

Have you considered Gold teeth at all? I think they would fit you.

All joking aside, you know that you are my friend and nothing bad can happen to any of my friends and I will be thinking of you until this is all fixed up.

kyle L · 2 February 2010, 09:51 AM

Feel better JJ!

No, no............it's not the poke in the eye I'm worried about at all - that I can take..........it's the wonderment of how effective all this treatment is going to be and whether I can finally have a normal right eye to look out from?

And then my bloody teeth.

Last week, whilst eating, I bit down so hard on the fork, that I snapped my front incisor. Now, I've had an implant put in and another on the right side to reinforce the front teeth from both sides.

As you guys may have guessed from my broad smiles

, I wear dentures on top and bottom...............so I'm looking at around NZ$4K for the dental treatment alone!!

But wait, there's more!!

The CV ball joints on both front wheels of my beloved MAZDA are well and truly stuffed and need replacing. Yes, there's that familiar taka-taka-taka noise when making turns...............so some more expense along the way.

So why the hell am I laughing on TRF? I am positively mad!!

Cheers - JJ

because those are just minor problems and has easy solutions! and you know that your blessings are more way far better than your problems!

dalip · 2 February 2010, 10:35 AM

HI JJ...I can imagine that anything to do with an eye is a major worry...the dentist stuff is a huge annoyance and pain as is the car...but it's the eye that must be causing you the most anxiety.

One thing I can say is that you're in the right part of the world to get the best treatment for your eye. The stress it's causing is awful...BUT you have a lot of positive energy and fantastic family support...draw on that and the 17th Feb will deal with itself. I am sure it'll be fine.

Easier said then done I know my friend...but try to stress less about it....stress is a terrible thing and has only been ignited more by that awful moment with your tooth just now.

You WILL be fine...

Dalip

zippaul · 2 February 2010, 10:37 AM

I really don't know you JJ except from what I have read here and you seem to be very well loved by a large fan base here on TRF. I am positive that it is well deserved as you bare your soul to everyone. It takes a real unique and genuine person to do so without fear. My take on it is I would continue to use that fearlessness as a source of strength and realize that whatever happens it will be okay. I guess with the teeth, the eyes, and whatever else my be ailing you it feels a little like piling on. You are going to do just great...no matter what and the sooner you believe that the better. In the meantime there is cocktails, good food, friends and your family loves you. Laugh all you like and scream all you want on the inside (outside might scare the crap out of people) and enjoy.

Skullring · 2 February 2010, 11:03 AM

Best of luck with everything JJ. I am sure everything will get sorted out soon.

diversified · 2 February 2010, 11:12 AM

JJ, Sounds like you need a big outdoor party "BASH", tons of barbecue and tons of booze! If it wasn't so stinking cold up here, I'd throw one in you honor.

sleddog · 2 February 2010, 11:15 AM

JJ,bad luck usually comes around in three's.....So it's all smooth sailing from here on out!!

Good thoughts comming your way for Feb 17th buddy..!

Rob.

Pep04 · 2 February 2010, 11:40 AM

JJ, hope everything works out for you.
Think positive. Always think positive no matter what.

Think about it, in a few months, you'll have a new eye, new teeth and new joints!!!

Good luck!!!!!!!

ESKO · 2 February 2010, 11:41 AM

MAN! I hate when things pile up! I have never experienced the exact same things, but I have experienced a bunch of things piling up and I have to deal with them all really quickly and it sucks! I feel for you man!

azone5 · 2 February 2010, 01:34 PM

Bummer on the unexpected expenses.

Look on the bright side though, your Rolexes are accurate and within specs.

I can only wish you the best!

ParisDakarBmw · 2 February 2010, 02:17 PM

JJ, Keep your head up. Like every other person here is explaining to you, don't get down.
The car, and teeth are small potatoes. Vehicle problems are the last thing you need right now, but it happens.

You can't help what happens to your teeth chipping. Stuff happens like that all the time. Dentist fix you up, and send you on your way.

Your eye is the big stress. I had some anxiety issues due to some health problems. Just take it day, by day. You'll be fine. Were all here for you! Everone is rooting for you!

The ball joints arent expensive for your car anyway

Kokyuryoku · 2 February 2010, 02:28 PM

Sorry to hear about your problems bro. I'll add you to my pray list. I truly hope your eye gets better soon. Take care bro.

Bisquitlips · 2 February 2010, 02:36 PM

JJ,

You are a good man and these things will pass my friend!

Chin up. Better days are surely coming.

Dr. Robert · 2 February 2010, 04:22 PM

I'll keep my fingers crossed & put out the good vibes for you JJ.
If I knew I was gonna live this long I'd have taken better care of myself!

metal man · 2 February 2010, 04:34 PM

Chin up JJ. Sorry to hear your misfortunes but this too shall pass. I totaly understand your concerns and frustrations with your eye and all with good cause. So many amazing advances , just give it time and let the doctors work their majic. We're here any time you need to vent. In the mean time prayers sent.

Starwalker · 2 February 2010, 04:48 PM

i wish u the best of luck, sometimes....everything we do feels like a hopeless effort...and thats why we laugh...LOL- wat more can we doo.....but atleast hat we have left is our humor....LOL this is what i listen to...u might have heard it before.....it just makes me laugh more...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BfIpRaqLqJ8

p.s. take you, ipod/walkman/radio to the dentist....helps with the pain which is mostly the sound of the drilling and etc...

swatty · 2 February 2010, 06:48 PM

See JJ , all this bad luck and you only thought about buying bluesy again

Lucky you didn't pull the trigger

Seriously, wish you well and hope you can work out all your issues. I'm sure you will

I'm terribly sorry to hear about that JJ. I wish you the absolute best, and you will be in my thoughts and prayers. For some reason, no matter how hard one may try, everything always seems to pile up far too quickly. Just keep your chin up, and hold a positive outlook and everything will turn out just fine.

As I have told you both publicly and privately, you have been a long standing friend of mine for a number of years now JJ, and it is terrible to see such a good friend (and a wonderful gentleman to boot) go through situations like this. Nonetheless, I have 100% faith that everything will go smoothly for you JJ! Keep thinking positive and you'll be fine. Not to mention laughter is always the best medicine, so laugh your arse off and look to your friends here on TRF.

All the best,
Tyler
