I wasn't sure if I should put this here, or in life thread. I know DOC asked to be left alone basically, because he was going to be absent for awhile, due to personal problems, but has anyone heard from him. Terry

I totally agree with Stefan, we should leave him alone until he is ready to come back, if ever. I just posted to see if maybe someone did hear from him, or maybe he would see thread, and at least know we miss him, and still care. Terry

I didn't know of Doc's break in and it's truly a tragedy!
Best thing to do is leave the guy alone and pray for him.

I talk to Doc about every couple of weeks or so. He & Mrs. Doc are ok...just doing a bit of re-evaluating on their lives after the theft they experienced. He does pop in every so often.
I , too, missed his rants. It appears the "kittys" are well. I'm hoping that when things will calm down for them...they'll start hangin around again!!

It's always a terrible feeling after a break in. The feeling of personal violation is very strong. Then your mind takes you down that awful "what if" road. Then the nightmares begin. I'm praying that if they are experiencing any of these problems that they get counseling right away! Their re-evaluating their lives is part of it too. The scariest thought of all is "What if one of us were there when it happened!" So, give him space, but also give them your prayers. And if we don't hear from him in the next couple of months then every member here needs to send them an e-mail. Nothing elaborate...just a few hundred lines. And keep sending them until he responds. Lord knows there is nothing more important than keeping in touch with a thousand or so perfect strangers! And there are a few strange ones here! (the last paragraph was total bull just for kicks and grins. Please no rants unless from Doc. If you still have a problem with the small attempt at humor please ask your Doctor for a dose of "Getoveritall". Found at your nearest pharmacy.

Hey, to everyone. I am ok, the shop did not get broken into, rather is was a wealthy student I had taken on. She liked my hand cut gems and one of a kind design pieces. I have no recourse on this. She was a real sicko. It really got to us. I ended up, the day before christmas getting set up by another vendor. He wanted my booth. He thought is he got my booth he would succeed. After going to court, and having the case almost laughed out of the courtroom, my wife and I have retreated. I used to repair, and fix the crappy repairs that gentleman did. I really reached out. My student, we were also marriage counselors for her and her husband. My other hat. We are taking a sabatical. Not just from RTH, but from about everything. The shop is going strong, stronger than before. Almost to strong. We signed another year lease. Both of us are going to advanced diamond setting in June. We have been busy designing, doing waxes. We be ok, and I really appreciate everyone caring about us. It does make a difference. I have barking spiders to catch, aliens to bury, and a lot of drueling to do. My fart box broke and I have to do my own farting, on demand. Thanks to all. We be ok. Rock on, and keep tumblin... Doc

Thank you for checking in Doc. And please do that from time to time, just to keep us from going crazy wondering about you.
There are more people out here that care, than you know.
