GMC What were you doing at 4:17 this morning? (updated)

Sounds I know like a pretty stupid thing to title this morning….. but really, let me ask you what you were doing.  Check you calendar but my guess is like me, you were sleeping.  Good thing, I’ve always told my kids… after midnight there are only 2 people on the street… freaks and cops looking for freaks so it’s not good to be out there with either of them but let me tell you what I was doing this morning at 4:17.  Fast asleep I thought I heard my cell phone ring… I keep the ringer up on a really loud, old ring tone so I would be sure to answer it.  What… the phone is ringing…. I jumped up to get to it before the 2nd ring but missed it.  Looking at the screen the number was wiped so I couldn’t call the folks back.  It sure must have been important for someone to call on my personal cell number this early.. 

Many of you know I offer, as a support to be available 24/7 if you are in trouble.  Some of you may have called for help over the past 20 years and when that phone rings 9 times out of 10.. unless it’s advertisers, when that phone rings there is usually someone needing help.

But with the number wiped I could not call the people back….. Figured if it’s important they would call back, how bout that they did….. and being already up and with the phone in my hand I said “Hi, this is Jim, how can I help” as I always say.  Here is what the guy on the other end said, ” This is a message from James Wheelock of Wanderlust Estate,  stop bugging me, you ain’t getting no money”  .  He said that 3 times getting louder each time then he hung up the phone.

OK, so let me tell you what just happened, an important communication link for the GMC community was… I guess you would call it hacked….. and was abused in the name of harassment.  I guess that was meant to upset me as if I could be more pissed off about what James is trying to do to me.  If this is not James message to me he should know someone has intruded not on me, heck I’m answering the phone when it rings day or night anyway but it’s now intruding on the GMC community and your ability to keep your coach going.

This tells me even more that you guys need to let him know how you feel about the way he is conducting himself in this community and how he is projecting the full timer community to us.

Listen, I’m off to breakfast with a couple of full timers who came in last night.  Guess what we’ll talk about?  Let me ejoy breaking bread with these guys and I’ll be back and unfortunately talk further about all this.  If you don’t appreciate James interrupting our community like this… hey give him a call of maybe go to his YouTube site “Wanderlust Estate” and let him know how you feel.

Hey, I’m OK and will not stop answering the phone.. don’t worry and if anyone would like to call me to yalk about this….. good or bad just give me a call… I will answer my phone as I have for 20 years….. 321-299-5707

See ya in a little bit…

So I’m back from breakfast… interesting conversation about the full timer forum and community.  I have the shop up and running but I need to do 2 test drives.  I’ll certainly be back to continue the above conversation…. please come back and help.

I’ll talk to you soon…. 

Did you notice the web site down until very recently today… weird.  Hope there are no problems…
