And there you have it, the B.O.C. gang. The barbershop of the C&V forum.

Sorry guys. I never wanted to be that guy...
We have seen the BOC to many times and heard sob stories go along with it disappearing. I think it will be delivered on Wednesday.
My teenage daughter has been in and out of the hospital, it has been a literally been a life threatening situation and I am half out of my mind. It's not going to get better any time soon.
It's sounds crazy to say this about online 'friends' you've never actually met but I value the community here and don't want to ruin it. The box is coming, I promise. I am very sorry it is taking so long.

No worries. It arrived today, and was overflowing with the best batch of stuff I've seen, and I've been around this block a half dozen times.
As found:
I had a hard time choosing what to keep, and feel like I made out very well. The broken Vx is destined to become a key chain. The water bottle I took mostly to make room for more high grade crap. I await an address from YogaKat.

Potential crappers beware. This traveling box seems to bring a curse with it to every tenth player or so. Participate at your own risk!

Don't worry at all about anything except for your daughter. We'll all collectively worry along with you.
Family first, second, third, and forth, us crapsters are somewhere about 537th on the list.

The box has been replenished, and is on its way to YogaKat.

Got home from riding today and a box o' crap arrived shortly after. Someone is going to have to grab a lot of crap or we are going to need a bigger box. It was like tetris trying to get everything back in. I wanted to add more than I did but no room.
@degan please PM you address and I'll keep the crap rolling.
The box on arrival:
Unboxed:
The goodies: One pair for the new bike, one pair for the old bike and the platypus for the cats to play with. Coincidentally I was just about to go shopping for these.

I'll pass their thanks along to her
She batted that thing around a little, but never seemed to take much of a shine to it. She likes her catnip-impregnated squirrel best:

I appreciate the well wishes and PM's of encouragement. I really do appreciate you guys.
I have no real sense of what is appropriate to share but in a nutshell;
We started seeking treatment for her depression, it went from bad to worse, she has made multiple attempts on her life, multiple ways and among other things, her liver took a beating. She refuses to eat and we are no longer able to care for her at home.
At this moment, we are sort of living a surreal nightmare.
