Those of you that "know" me, know that I've attempted to better myself by going to school. I recently moved to a different town to continue that education and the proverbial crap has hit the fan. As a result of numerous factors in my life including involvement with child protective services for slapping my child when he back talked to me, and failing all of my classes because of my own belief that I am worthless and my children's bad behavior eating up all my time, I have not been able to expend the time or energy I needed to be successful in college.

Couple this with a few ventures to make me a little bit more money that ended up resulting in me expending more money that I made, I am now going to go back to being homeless and without a means of communicating with this forum. So, it is with a heavy heart that I bid you all a sad farewell.

To those I owe meters and other things, I will get them to you. On that you have my word. Those that are unwilling or incapable of waiting, I understand and I will refund you as soon as I am able. I will be selling literally ALL of my laser goodies to help me possibly find a home and not have to sleep on the streets.

To those I've let down in this recent failure, I do profoundly apologize. I've got nobody to blame except myself. I took on too much in an effort to be a value and of service to too many places at once and it's no surprise I failed.

I will continue to check from time to time when I find an internet connection my emails and such and will continue to offer up the Kenometer pro's and USB's (I have to recoup the R&D costs eventually) for those that are still wanting a good meter.

I will eventually return when I've gotten my tail from between my legs and decided to walk on 2 legs instead of the dog I feel like I am now.

I will mourn the loss of communication with the friends that I've built on this forum as well as the good humor and commorodory that is prevelant on this forum.

So, I wish you all the best and happy lasering.
Ken

I wish that were the case. Although honestly, that would be one crappy April fools joke.

KEN, although we didn't have that much communication or business dealings between us, I can't help but feel a sense of loss upon hearing of your (hopefully temporary) departure from the Forum. You've provided countless members, myself included with sage advice, bits of humor, & other bits & pcs. of human correspondence, that will make you sorely missed on the Forum. I wish you all the luck in the world in any future endeavor, & pray that you'll meet with the success that you've been searching for.
To anyone that is owed a meter or parts , I can tell you that KEN WILL make good on anything promised to you, as soon as he is able to.
You WILL be missed KEN, by all of us here on the Forum. Speaking for myself, I wish you only the best that life has to offer you from now on, & look forward to the day when you announce your return to the fold, here on the Forum. That being said, it's with a heavy heart that I say good-by to you. Take care & may GOD bless you in anything you undertake in the future. Your pal, rob

I'm still trying to decide if I should hold a quick and dirty raffle to sell off my things or a sale to sell them off one by one.

pertaining to the generosity of everyone thus far. It's my own personal propensity to NOT ask as I'm too proud to ask for help that has led to my downfall thus far. Had I reached out before things got this bad, I probably would not be in the mess that I am now. However, I think.... Oh I'll get it worked out. I'll find a way to make everything alright. And things stack up. I get further and further behind on builds and projects and my classes. I make excuses and pretend that things are hunky dory. Please do not misunderstand. I love help.. I appreciate it with all my heart, but I just cant' bring myself to ask for it. Makes me feel even weaker than I already feel. It's a failing of mine that I am working on....

anyway, it's not my intention to rain on anyones' well wishing and I do apologize. I can only think of a few times when my life has ever been this bad.... Primarily because of my own depression that is on top of this whole thing. If it were just me running into bad times, which have happened before, I would be able to rise above it in a fairly quick time frame. You can look back to the last time I was on the rocks and homeless and I sprang back pretty quickly. This time however, not only have I hit bottom in how things are, but I've also hit bottom in how I feel about myself as a person. Will take a bit longer to recover from that I'm thinkin...

Heck, if anyone wants to build a Kenometer Lite for some of my customers I would be grateful. Only requirement I have is that the builder that volunteers must be good at what they do. The finished product must look very well put together.

Ken, I wish you all the best in life. I my opinion, doing good things for for people... never results in failure....only set backs. I'm not going to pretend to know what you're going through....only you know that. But I do know what I have learned alot from you, and for that ....I thank you. I honestly hope it works out the best for you.

I won't say goodbye....however, I will say....see you later.

You take care,

Ray
