Thank You, SpursTalk

[Russ]

I know defending the angel of death is like defending bonner, but it looks like he at least provided some good motivation. He was the Byron Scott to Timvp's 2003 Stephen Jackson.

Never thought I'd see bonner and angel of death in the same sentence.

[iManu]

Frack, you made me tear up and I'm supposed to be a man.

You'll never know how much you mean to us, especially those of us who have been reading you and all your friends talk for 6-7 years, or more, and never really say anything. We came here to learn from you guys about the Spurs, and we've grown to love you guys like our own family, whether we tell you or not.

Thanks for that, LJ.

Spurs and Love,
iManu

I haven't been posting much for the past 7 years. But I gotta' put my word in on this one:

AMAZING STORY. Glad you were able to make it thru, timvp!

[will_spurs]

Amazing story, glad you made it through. Actually at some point I had to stop and wonder if you had suddenly become a writer for House M.D. as the story had pretty much all the components!

I remember seeing the thread asking for prayers and how it stopped me in my tracks as I couldn't believe what I was reading.

And as far as being a good GM, definitely trade that bad doctor for health insurance!

[Ocotillo]

I am glad you are better.

Thank you Kori for all you did.

Thanks to the posters who stepped up.

May God bless all of you.

[George Gervin's Afro]

Welcome back, God didn't need you yet!

[Kamnik]

As weird as it sounds reading your story made me feel good. Because I am one of those people who always worry too much about trivial and unimportant things - your story is one of those that sobers me up every now and then to realise what is important in life!!!

I am really happy for all of you; especially Kori and kids - I can't imagine raising 3 kids on your own this day and age.

From a selfish standpoint... I'm glad you survived because I would have to change my morning ritual:
1. Wake up
2. Brush teeth
3. Check NBA.com for results
4. Check SpursTalk to see if timvp posted any new threads.
5. Start working
6. ...

Live long and prosperous!

Hey, thats my morning ritual too!

[Kamnik]

Hey, thats my morning ritual too!

Are you also a weird bearded guy from Slovenia?

If you are I might have a multiple personality disorder.

Or worse... I have a troll account of which I am not aware of!

[Ryvin1]

Glad to hear you are back and feeling better! Love your insight on the Spurs, always a great read, and I'm thankful and amazed everything you and Kori do for so many people. I wish you the best and hope things keep improving!

[Budkin]

So glad you made it through timvp, but honestly all I can think about is that worthless POS doctor and how I'd like to beat him to within an inch of his life and then tell him "it's over."

[tp2021]

I was waiting for the "On the way home I whistled for a cab and when it came near..." to truly let me know you had made a full ST-fashioned recovery!

It may be weird to feel a connection to someone on the internet you have never met (and I don't mean dating), but thats what the SpursTalk community has here.

I am joyful to hear of your improving health timvp! Saying I enjoy your Spurs takes may be a bit lame to some, and to others may seem inconsequential compared to everything else you do, but if talking about the Spurs makes you happy, we can both be happy about you continuing the tradition

[Das Texan]

Glad to have you getting back on top of your game timvp. Both physically and in posting.

[Das Texan]

A nurse explained to me that he's nicknamed the angel of death because he gets off on telling people bad news. Plus since uninsured patients who end up in ICU never actually end up paying their bills, he feels that gives him reason enough to treat 'em like trash.

At first, my instincts were to hunt him down to let him know what I think about him. But then I realized the best thing to do would be to pay him the total amount due right when I got home so that he'd have second thoughts about treating someone else like that.

I would have just added a note to him. apology accepted

[JudynTX]

Wishing you and that beautiful family of yours, nothing but the best.

Do you remember the very first GTG we had at your house?

[Killakobe81]

[QUOTE=timvp;5582747]I've gotten a few private messages asking for a health update so I figured a thread was in order. Besides, I owe the SpursTalk community a thank you.



WOW, very uplifting stuff ...especially after reading some of the trash I just read downstairs. I have a couple relatives (older than you) with the same affliction. Glad things are better and thank you and your wife for giving me (us) a place to talk about sports and life. The fact I post here more than i do on the Laker sites, is a testament to the best forum I have found on the internet which you and Kori provided the platform

Thanks again, and God bless you and your family.

[cheguevara]

Comrade timvp. El Che is happy you are still in the land of the living.

[Slomo]

Thanks for the details. It was a good but scary read. When we heard from Kori that the doctors thought you wouldn't make it it sent a shock through the whole family. It was frustrating sitting in our house on another continent feeling completely helpless.

I can't even describe the relief when we found out the next day that you were fighting back and decided to call the doctor's bluff.

You opened your house to me when we first met, took me to my first Spurs game and introduced me to Buffalo wings. Yet during that week I don't think we exchanged more than a hundred words (Thank God Kori was there too). You're one of the most generous people I know - provided nobody knows that. I'm proud to have you as friend.

You know what they say about following your first thoughts. It's probably not too late.

WTF? I now agree with stuff lakaluva posts!?

[phxspurfan]

I was waiting for the "On the way home I whistled for a cab and when it came near..."

[CubanMustGo]

Appreciate you sharing your story, timvp, and definitely appreciate the fact that you're still with us today.

[bigzak25]

Very glad you and the family are doing good LJ. Godbless you, Kori, and the kiddos!

[Taco]

Wow never knew the entire story, I just knew it was pretty serious.

We are glad you are doing better !

God Bless you guys !

Mr & Mrs Taco

Just to mention... I know this was discussed in several topics before.

But now more than ever I think a big big majority of people wouldn't mind some commerical banners to help out with the medical bills.

Especially if they can be limited to certain LA Laker fan/trolls.

And when one of us is gone
And one of us is left to carry on
Then remembering will have to do
Our memories alone will get us through
Think about the days of me and you
You and me against the world
