A Friend In Need
Community member in dire straits...
Wednesday, December 8, 2010 by RedneckDude | Discussion: Community
Guys and gals, I'm sure some of you have been wondering what has happened to our friend, Wizard1956. I know a few have asked and until now, I have been asked to keep a lid on it. Randy and Theda didn't want everyone knowing the have been having it a bit hard.
But just a few minutes ago, I talked to Wiz on the phone. He called to let me know that he'd be inaccessible until sometime next year, not for sure when.
A few weeks ago Wiz told me he would be losing internet due to his hours being cut. A week or so later, I decided to try calling him at work and was told he was let go. So he now has no job, no unemployment yet (pending), and no phone, TV, or internet. His wife's part time income barely keeps the rent paid and heat on. Things are progressively getting worse, and now he tells me his car is out of commission and his wife is walking to and from work. Oh, and food is scarce until he can get food stamps going. So even a walmart gift card would help...anything.
So, I guess I'm asking if anyone would like to send a card, a gift, or a small donation to help Randy and Theda with a little Christmas joy. I'm sure they would appreciate it, and so would I. I am sending a few bucks friday, just a small amount.
If someone would just send a Christmas card it would brighten their holiday. I'm sure it's a bummer being in this jam for the holidays.
Wizard has asked me to tell everyone at WC he says Merry Christmas and Happy New Year and that he will hopefully see us in a month or two.
If anyone wants to send him anything at all, a Christmas card, 5 bucks, a gift....anything...please PM me for his address. He has no bank account but can get small checks cashed at his wifes work.
I truly hope some of us can do something to cheer these people up for the holidays.
UPDATE....Wiz has opened a bank account so that he can get checks cashed. Those who have sent checks won't have to worry if he can use them.

I have gotten a PM asking for the removal of Wiz's head. Knowing Wiz as well as I do, I know he'll love it and laugh his head off, so to speak. Does anyone wanna vote on it? I say it should stay. I know Wiz as well, or better than most of yuns, and I think he'll love it!

If it'll make him laugh, then leave it on. It's about bringing joy ain't it?
btw, I love what you did with CarGuys avatar and I like the bows.

Hi everyone, as Jim (RND) said it appears to be a question as to leave the wiz picture on the wall or take it off. So please just let us know by Saturday so I know if I have to remove it or not. Thank you and you are all wonderful caring people.

OK, guys, the vote isn't necessary, but please voice opinions.
The person requesting removal of the head has decided so be it.

This is a bit OT, but you know, it occurred to me that Dave has also come up with a great idea idea for a Community Wall... if you remove the greetings and add a pine forest in the background and libardo's Winky....
Good things happen while doing good things.... 
Oh...and I think The Wiz could use some Professional head gear....if all agree:

Leave it. give Wiz the headgear, a long white beard and a pin. The pin of course is for the Angels to dance on. lol
Looks great!!
The little guy says hi and Merry Christmas to the Wizard of WC and his Lady Theda.
