Slickdealers helping each other out - See update in post #39

Hey guys ...we're all in this together.

I see some helpful threads here in the lounge and it warms my heart to see some old timers come and join the conversations.
We always come together when times are tough. We come here to help, to escape some super serious stuff and we like a familiar shoulder to lean on.

I thank you, I thank you, I thank you and am always grateful to be a part of this community. The camaraderie and concern you show one another is humbling. hug Worthy
I've always felt that our community has the biggest hearts and the help they show each other is what makes us so fricking amazing.


I love seeing this kind of helping info and to watch the togetherness.
If you have anything to share..tips, anecdotes, funny memes to help lighten the mood, please share in any one of those or even add it to this one.
If you are like me you hopscotch between needing a funny outlet, needing to help share the news of events as it unfolds and also ideas on how to get through this.


I will make a banner for this so others across the whole site might come and join the conversations and help with new ideas.

You may see more staff than usual come in to some of the threads as they are reading some helpful tips and also see some questions about how to help out and they have ideas.

Some of the newer ones are impressed by the helpful nature of the community here in the lounge.

Don't be alarmed if you see staff badges in here.. as they are dealing with the pandemic as well.

To all... please be extra vigilant and remind family to beware that more hackers/phishing attempts will arise at this time. As more people work from home it seems many have ramped up their game.

My mom asked about some new emails and I had to remind her to never click a link and told her it will likely happen a lot more.

I'm still here often, just don't post as much.

Good to see some familiar faces are still around!
