  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    Our nephew killed himself this weekend. He was found yesterday. He was 24 years old. He grew up with my son Tyler and they spent a lot of time together. He had suffered through years of addictions. So sad to see a young man go through all of this.
    Thanks.

    Smokey15 So old that I use AARP bolts.

    Unless you have experienced mental issues or periods of depression, you have no idea just how the human mind can 'play games' with you. Sadly, too many do not seek the help they need for various reasons, especially the fear of social stigma, "What will everyone think?" or they don't want to bother others with their problem. It is sad that many end their suffering by suicide. My heart goes out to those who just couldn't take what they were dealing with anymore and to the loved ones who are left to pick up the pieces and wondering just what they could have done to prevent this.
