Nobody helped me out with a fucking penny, or even offered a loan. I used to be charitable before my accident, but now i've seen what happens when the shoe is on the other foot, so I dont give a fucking dime either.

I managed to bounce back without anyone's help, so I'm sure Nikki can do the same. It sure did change my attitude about "family" and "friends" though.

I've donated some bucks cause someone was having surgery or was seriously ill. I even donated some bucks cause someone here wanted a big screen tv. But it wont ever happen again, for anyone.

I remember your accident quite well. I don't remember you ever asking for money or help though. I also remember you posting pictures of your new vehicles, nice house, and how you have made over 6 figures every year since you have been in the business.

If I knew things were that rough, I would have pitched in some money no problem, I know how much of a pain in the ass being in a chair can be sometimes. But you shouldn't be so hellbent because people didn't come rushing to your aid, you have always made it quite clear that you do very well for yourself. You probably make 3-10x what a lot of people here do.

Anyway, yeh Franck, I would send you a couple bucks. You're a part of the community and you contribute to the community. I "know you" in a way. I really don't understand why people rush to a message board for help though, I would ask friends and family, privately and discretely.
