Sometime in the near future

[slusher]

Sometime in the future I won’t be on at all or not much. I am still building but with difficulty.  I can’t foil anything more, my right arm is limited. I have friends that help me one is Cobra Man Ray.  My eyes are not focusing at times. Some double vision. Some have had good laughs at a few posts misspelled and spell check really messed it up like the Mustang post in the Revell section. If I call you by the wrong name I am sorry, Multiple Scarosis is an awful disease. 30 years now. Many have not liked me for my faith and my post count. I have encouraged many model builders and builds that’s where it comes from and learning. My faith comes from my grandmother Memme. I write this with a heavy heart, my eyes are bothering me.. Carl

Sorry to hear that Carl, Battling MS for so long sure wouldn't be fun! It rob's people of so much as does MD... Keep the Faith !

Take care, Carl. I'm almost 79 and things are getting harder to do for me, as well. I just threw my BRE 240Z into the alcohol pond for the third time. I keep making mistakes. I don't want to give up yet. But I certainly understand your predicament.

Carl, I am so sorry . I hope we can still keep it touch. Lots of folks are here for you. Bless you my friend.

If and when that time comes, Carl, I for one will miss you around here. Despite dealing with the misery of MS you are a beacon of upbeat encouragement. Lots of folks could learn a thing or two from your example.

[Ace-Garageguy]

You'll be in my prayers. You have many friends here who'll miss you..

[KWT]

Carl I hate to hear this... You've been a good friend to all as far as I'm concerned. Stay on board as long as you can!

[bobthehobbyguy]

Hang in there Carl. If you can derive pleasure from modeling then continue. The pleasure of building is the most important thing. Please hang around as long as you can, you help make this an enjoyable place to come to.

[Claude Thibodeau]

Sir, I've always enjoyed your comments and encouragements, and they meant a lot to me. You mentionned a couple of times that you were of declining health, but now, I have a better understanding of your situation. Hang in there with us, and please, disregard any critic or cynicism. We are all here for the fun and camaderie, and I hope you keep enjoying  it to the fullest.

So sorry to hear about your health issues my Friend.  You were one the first on the forum that I spoke with and I usually called you "neighbor" since we both live in Tennessee.

Hang in there Buddy and keep in touch!!?

[Gramps46]

Carl, I want you to know your presence here on the board and your comments and encouragement have meant a lot to many.

[misterNNL]

I am amazed by the monumental number of posts you have considering your vision problems. Your tenacious nature is keeping you involved in spite of the disease. Good for you my friend. I'm proud to say our paths have on the forums.

Carl - I have always enjoyed your posts, and hope you stick around as long as you can.  I wish you all of the best.

Hey Carl.  If you wear glasses, try putting some tape over the lens of the eye that bothers you.  Doctors did for me when I double vision for a few months.  Hang in there my friend.

[iamsuperdan]

Stay strong, Carl.

You're one of the good ones.

Joe writes my thoughts better than I can. You will be in my prayers. 30 Yrs of MS. I cannot even imagine how you have done so much.

[Dragline]

Keep the faith brother. Our reward awaits we who are faithful.

I am 58 and I see where it is going for me as well. My faith will pull me through.

[Lunajammer]

Hopefully your participation here won't end overnight, so stop in when you can and be that point of light that helps keep this forum grounded. You wear your heart and faith on your sleeve and I find that refreshing. All the best bud.

Carl, I always appreciated you leaving encouraging comments, and playing my game!  Sorry your MS is getting worse, and what I would think is the fear of all model builders, losing vision.  Prayers. ?

[espo]

So sorry to hear that your condition is getting worse. Know that there are many here that respect you and hold you in high regard. Keep your faith as sometimes that's all that works it would seem.
