Default Tbyrne where is he and where's my stuff?

I ordered a supercharger even got an invoice #547 on 2/7/08
Can't get ahold of anyone lots of speculations on the forums.
Since I know some of you lived close by can anyone go see whats up?
I need to call the credit card company and see if I got charged.
But I really want the product, nobody can match his pricing.

I dont think u will see a CC charge
A few guys ordered but were not charged for services..

I've known Ton since 96,he was always a nice guy
I think he might be back,he just has some issues now with the divorce.

His last post on LS1GTO.com was 2/11, but they think he's history.

I always think it sucks to hear about someone getting a divorce, especially when kids are involved.

I hope he and his wife get their issues worked out and can provide their kids a decent future.

I just got to check and see if I was charged. I don't think I was I don't think anyone was.

It seems really weird he would do this.
If she gets a good lawyer regardless of what he does she is getting more than he wants to give her. Thats how things go now-a-days.

These days people look at marriages as jobs. As soon as it gets bad, you start looking for a new one. When an attractive offer comes up, you jump at it.

Sometimes, you need to tuck your tail and work at it and realize that it's a lifelong commitment.

But I digress. Again, I hope the best for his kids, cause they are the ones that will be dealing with this for the rest of their lives.

Truthfully,I would shut my bussiness down too if the wife dumps me and goes for all my $$. Screw them.Has nothing to do with the kids.I've seen it happen many times.Guy supports them and works his life away,builds a nice house and plenty of luxery items.Then the wife dumps them and takes everything.I'd make sure everything is lost and make her live in a card board box.

Not saying this is Toms deal at all.I really have no idea whats going on.

You can do that but they look at past years of income. You get screwed in the end. I wish I was a judge cause I'd make sure it was fair. And gold diggers would be thinking hard about doing it again.

I still say that in the end it's the kids that suffer the most. For the adults, it's just things, but for kids it's emotional scars. I still say that if you don't think it will last forever, don't get married, and certainly don't have kids.

I would say monitor the CC and if it's charged and you then charge back or stop it.

Hope Tom gets everything settled amicably. No matter what even if he escapes with all the money, and no one on either side gets screwed, both sides lose. My dad's last ex divorced him because he didn't make enough money fore her taste and this was a church deacon . All I can say is divorce sux but a bad marriage is even worse. After living through 3 of my fathers, I can say the kids suffer the most, as they are used as pawns against the other side or lose the stability in their lives when they need it most. Money or material possessions cannot replace a parent-child relationship and controlling that to stick it to the other side is commonplace. Safe to say I'm a confirmed bachelor for life... just gimme my booze and toys . Y'all don't wanna end up like me

Tom has been great to me over the years. Hate to see him going threw rough times that for sure.

Hang in there 96z, hopefully you will get the supercharger, or not billed.

He has always treated me well and supported Easternfbody.com races as well..

good luck tom

I think it's pretty easy to say what you are saying and doing it is another matter. When I was married, I thought things would be great forever. But, things change or you see a different side of person after a few years. Some people bring a ton of baggage into the marriage and it will show it's face after awhile.

Divorce is wicked stressful and changes your life in so many ways. I wish this guy the best!

I certainly agree with you, but some people rush into a marriage way too quickly and aren't really honest with themselves or their future spouse. If you don't want her 'taking all your money' than make sure that she is able to support herself and won't need your money if that's what really matters to you.

Plus I think people rush way too quickly into having kids as well. If you haven't seen all the sides to a person, you shouldn't be getting married yet or having kids.

I'm sorry... I don't buy the 'they changed' or I saw a different side of the person argument.

Don't get me wrong, my wife and I have gone through tough times, but every relationship does, but it's how you deal with it that will determine if you walk away afterwards closer or further from each other.

True, people rush into this stuff too fast.

I sat in marriage counseling for 2 1/2 years trying to work things out but it was a bust.

Fortunately for us, we had our college degrees and well established careers so money/security really wasn't an issue.

I'd like to be married again for a lot of reasons. But for now, I've decided to take a few years for myself. I've seen numerous people get involved in rebound relationships and 90% of the time they don't work out. By giving myself this time, I can really figure out what I want in a relationship because I do not want to go through another divorce.
