Hi all! I wanted to put an announcement out in regards to a developing situation in my life currently. I may have to put AH away for awhile due to family matters. Story:
My uncle had a mini stroke in 2015 while I was in high school, and it effected him hard. After I finished high school, went into a job training program and then got a job which I have been working for 4 years. Recently he suffered 2 more mini strokes which effected his right side badly. And he is over weight and needs professional help and which he did but unfortunately he also ended hurting his arm and shoulder and which he has to be admit to the hospital. He will more than likely have to go into a nursing home. (I know you guys are asking why does this have to do with me?) I will more than likely be helping my mom as best as I can especially living in an apartment and paying rent. And so it is looking like I may have to go on hiatus or maybe leave due to the financial situation and family matters w/ my uncle. I am not asking for sympathy, but prayers are welcome for my uncle. I enjoy this game a lot, I am not perfect but I do have my good moments in the game. If it does come down to it, it has been an honor to fly with the best. I will post updates on my situation.
Thanks for reading!

May your uncle recuperate as best he can. May you and your mom's situation improve.

Thanks Arlo! He took care of my mom when she had colon cancer in 2006 a year after my dad died. He is the technically living family member on my dads side left. And it will be awhile for him to recover to full health. Thank you so much!

Prayers for your Uncle and family.
I recall one of your "good moments". It was some time back. I can't remember it exactly but I was witness to one. :D

Real life comes first and you will be back. Had to leave for about 10 years at one point, but came back.
Good luck and prayers for you and your family.

Thanks LTARazor! I will be back no problem. I love this game. I am still able to pay and play for now, its just that matter of time of if and when he has to go into a nursing home. With the COVID situation the only way he could go is if he were to be admitted but I am in the dark until I get more info. I will post regular updates when I get them! Thanks so much for the support!

Thanks Puma! As I have mentioned before. I am still able to pay and play for now. I am still in the dark on whats going on with my Uncle right now as he was just admitted today. I am not sure what will happen, but if it does come to it I can save the money up to cover the rent no issue. I will keep everyone in the loop. Thank you very much Puma!

Wishing you and the family well LNG, hope to see you soon :salute

Thank SNO. I am still able to play the game no issue and pay for it. I am in the dark on my uncle right now as he was admitted today. I am not sure if he will be put into a nursing home right now. As stated before he is over weight and it took me and my mom and also my older brother to lift him to change his adult diaper. (Sorry for TMI) But I can still pay and play for the game for now. I will keep everyone informed.

I have an update about my uncle. He was admitted and his status is he has an acute kidney injury currently and dehydration and my folks thought he had a fracture on his arm and shoulder but those tests came back negative. He also was tested again to make sure he doesn't have COVID. But overall he is holding up ok.

Glad to hear that LNG15

Positive karma heading to you and your family LNG. I was a caregiver for my Father first, then Mom's brother and finally Mom. Be strong and do the best you can.
Remember care givers cant care for anyone unless they care for themselves too.

Thanks fuzeman. I appreciate that a lot. I did post an update about his status earlier and he is in good shape. He will be in the hospital for about a week due to a acute kidney injury but he is holding up.

My sincerest well wishes for your uncle.

LOL you can build full squadrons from pieces left around the terrains off my plane.

Thanks Waystin! He is holding up ok. He is going to be in for about a week due to an acute kidney injury but overall he is in good hands.

Ok then I am not sure if I will take that as a compliment about my uncle. I thought you would of said something nice Dolby.

And for saying such a remark like that. You should get a black eye for that. My family comes from first. And if you don't have anything nice to say. "Keep them to yourself!"

LNG, a suggestion. If you can make it work, keep that $14.95 a month going. With the stress of being a caregiver and you family’s health, it’ll be a good mental health break to step into cartoon world for a bit when you can. Without a mental health break once in a while, it’ll be easy to get spun to tight and affect your health. :salute
P.S. Don’t worry about or respond to the occasion wild, spurious input from the peanut gallery. They don’t count for anything. There are much more important things to expend your energy on.
Check Six!

I will Puma! I should be able to do it for awhile. I took Media Literature in High School and I watched a video with Dave Ramsey in it to how to setup a system and a budget. And with my 40 hours a week it is possible to a big portion of my paycheck each week into another account to act as the rent account and the rest would be for groceries and also any other expenses including AH so I should be able to make it work.

Feel free at any point in time to heed your own advice.

For those once I wouldn't. Your remark really pissed me off. My family comes first than anything else. I grew over that situation. What is your problem!

LNG,
Of course, family always comes first. In the end, you'll find that everything else in life pales in comparison.
But I do agree with Puma. If it is not too bad of a financial burden, keep your account for an occasional stress relief and to keep in touch with friends. Obviously you might have to reduce your activity level, but maintaining your own mental health will help you stay better fit to help your family.

Don’t give him the satisfaction of a reply. He’s just come back from an extended time out and appears to be trying for another.

Puma, there is absolutely nothing wrong with anything I have said in this thread, being cynical is no grounds for your Rule#5 violation. :old:

Dolby, it's always poor form to step on a thread like this. I sometimes disagree with LNG, but as a fellow human being, he deserves a well wish for his family. It's does neither you nor ANYONE else any harm to say "Best Wishes for your family". Please don't make those of us who spoke up for you feel that we may have made a mistake.

Thanks Coppr. And I will go on record and state he is the only living family member on my late dad's side left. I lost my father back on 05' and my late dad tried to play AH once but didnt know how to work with it, when I tried it in 06-07 for the free trial I had some fun but left after the trial due to no funds at that time. When I started working and making a decent paycheck a week me and my folks rented from places like Rent A Center to be able to be on a computer or play on a video game console. My uncle helped get some of those things (only con was at that time he would pawn for his cigs, but my folks forgave him.) He helped my mom when she had Stage 3 colon cancer, he drove me to school and he would even take me to the local airport whenever a historical aircraft was in town. Dolby this ain't about anything else. I have a serious concern with my uncle, I lose him and then its up to me to keep my mom and also my older brother (He cant work due to the restaurant situation of COVID, but should be working again soon.) a roof over their heads. And which my uncle sacrificed his Social Security check every month to cover the rent. He is all I got left. (Sorry about TMI folks)

No worries about TMI, LNG.....
Hang in there and listen/go re-read what fuzeman, Puma and CptTrips posted....especially the 2 parts about taking care of yourself and not letting yourself go because you are putting everything and everyone before you....this is important
2nd: let other replies go and don't acknowledge them....it just adds to unneeded stress and tension that you don't need right now....
If you need someone to just talk to , to unload what you are dealing with, just shoot me a PM, I like fuzeman know real well with what you are going through and I'll chat with ya or if there might be something else you need help with let the community know
Hang Tough

We’ll let the moderator decide that. Absolutely no intent on my part to moderate. Just making an observation.

Best wishes LNG. Many of us older players have been through these situations once or multiple times. You have gotten some sound advice. Not to sound uncaring, but you have to take care of yourself, because you are the strong and supportive influence. Sounds like your uncle is a lucky guy to have your support system. Try to keep your life as normal and positive as you can and try not to stress over things that you have no control over. Take breaks from the stress. AH3 is a good diversion if possible. If you need someone to chat with...you can PM me and we can work something out.
Cheers, One-eye :aok

Thanks One-Eye I will still play the game though. I did get an update that my uncle is ok now. He is going into a rehab home for about 6 weeks to a month so he can get his right side working again.
