Guys. This is the best ring/jewelry forum on the net. YOU guys made it that way.

I have some medical problems that is going to keep me away for a while. Few weeks.. hopefully not to serious.

You guys keep at it. Keep this place going. Help each other. There is a great wealth of experience here from all over the world..

Haven't heard about the book yet. Tell you guys something. IF I make it back here and I have no deal,,I'll either self publish or by God I'll freaking publish it all right here chapter by chapter for free. It was never a money thing anyway..

So keep at it. Keep it civil and keep showing those rings, cufflinks, stick pins, bracelets, anything weird! Go for it guys..., Gaspare

Get well as soon as possible !!!! All the best from Pland !!!!

We'll keep an eye on things here and best wishes for a speedy recovery!

To your health, mon capitan! Get better soon!

Whoa! That sounds pretty serious? Get well soon, Sir, and hear from you soon! :-)
PS Have you ever considered a Kindle publication? That's pretty simple and low cost and at least you get the book out there and you can even sell it to a considerable audience!

Will watch for your return.
Hang tough.

Spoke with him. He's dealing with a lot of pain but being a good patient. I can't visit him till next week as they are worried about any chance of infection. Going to push him a bit & get that great book finished!

Hi everyone I've got a Gaspare update- I've texted with him today- here's his message to us all: "U can post this - Well 37 staples taken out Friday. Literally hav to learn how to walk all over again correctly.

Let's keep the big guy in our prayers folks!

Talked to him this week and he's doing better- working hard on his PT and should be able to do quite a bit in just a couple weeks. I've told him that u guys have held ur end up on the forum- big shout out to odal for stepping up as well- he's taken time for me on at least 2 occasions I know- and it's appreciated. Still missing the big guy here though- not the same without our fearless leader! Not seen a lot of rings lately- across the board! G without your input it's pretty tough to buy or sell! You are missed my good friend and mentor!

Well got a cool 12" scar on my hip out of all this,,,and a pain free hip too!

You guys on this topic are really something.. The well wishes, the prayers ,,all helped believe me. Thank you all very much..

Had a couple complications,,but all is well. I'm about 90%.. Off the cane now, I can drive now, sit straight, etc. Getting around good.
