Friends of Dr. Bill, He needs your help.

I am pretty sure that all the pieces falling off help him look a like a pile of seaweed or kelp. If he gets a new, smooth flashy one the fish will be scared! Plus, a great white wont eat a sea lion if it looks like it has already been hit by a boat.

Hey Alberto! Thanks for speaking at our club last week!

I hope you've stamped "titanium" on that wetsuit somewhere, otherwise it's not gonna sell...

I don't care who you are, that there is funny.

Teamcasa $40.00
Almitywife $20.00
Paradicio $20.00
ScooterBlenny $20.00

OK folks, we are up to $100.00 so far, plus one complete virtual wetsuit from DiveNav.

Since Bill would rather us buy his DVD's to keep his pride intact, I propose we collect a couple hundred more then buy him the new suit and he can make a donation of his DVD's to local schools in the same amount.

Hey, my M&B looks the way it does because three great white sharks converged on me at once. I fought them off and survived. That's why the ladies see Dr. Bill as such a manly man instead of a girlie boy. At least that's my story, and I'm sticking to it...

 

[drbill]

Geez, Dave... you sound like you are really serious about this. It's not pride, but the desire to make sure people get value for their "donation." After all, I could dip into my retirement account if my "Scotch" fingers weren't so inflexible.

value for donation... you could do a twirl or 2 for us in the new suit i guess

Just wanted to follow up on this. I appreciate Dave's concern and the willingness of several posters here to donate. However, I really can't in all good conscience accept this kindness.

I actually spent turkey day researching wetsuits on the Internet and found several in my price range that I could afford thanks to some recent editing projects for clients. Of course I will hold on to the M&B for when the water warms up next year.

It warms my heart to know that several of you were willing to do this. I am also quite amused by the fact that more people were willing to donate to get me a wetsuit than were willing to buy my Deal of the Century or other video offerings. Very interesting!

I hope none of you visiting the park will faint if you see me in a new wetsuit. Of course you probably won't even recognize me!

I have friends like you all to be thankful for on this special day. I also have to be thankful for Alka Seltzer and Pepto Bismol after eating one half of the 23# turkey I cooked for myself.
