It is the one thing that that Jim can not control, and his health is something that he

needs to takeen care of. I hope to see him when he gets the ok. He is listed as the

host for tonights shows and I wish him the best when he does return.

gone.

Yep, Jim needs a little time and relaxation.

Let's be patient.

Meantime, he can still type!!

and yes, some of you do have your favorites--ALL do a good job--just in different

ways.

New car you say? In similar circumstances I myself have had several illnesses that

prevented me from going to work. Trust we'll see Jim feeling better and up to his

usual monkeyshines soon.

Jim is a hoot and I wish him well. He is easily the most entertaining host on the SNBC

network, and a pleasure to buy from, but I'll buy a watch from the devil himself if it's

one I want and the price is right !!!

EXACTLY! If I want a watch, Little Bo Peep could be the host Im still getting it! I hope

Jim is OK first and foremost, and cant wait for him to get back, but it doesnt affect

what watch I want or am going to get.

I dont buy a watch for the host but I sure watch a lot more when Jim is on. Jim is

entertainment as well as sales. Hard to do that when you cant talk.

I was kinda hoing Jim might come in here and write a little poetry while under the

influence of medication.

It's alway good to see people in a good mood.

That's why I like to watch Jim and Mike "play."

It looks like play instead of work, because they're enjoying the time they spend doing

something they love.

I'm really glad that there is a place to meet, here, because these guys LOVE this

hobby.

I do what I love for a living, and fully understand

I like 'em all...Jim, Tim, Daniel, etc. I watch based on the show...not the host. But

I've notice my volume control has been a little higher while Jim's been out.

I LOVE all the watch show hosts and yes ...I too don't have to turn the

volume down while Mr. Skelton is off healing. And I pray for his renewed

health.

I'm sure Jim is intelligent enough not to jepordize his career by disobeying his

doctors. He'll come back when his Dr.s say it'sok and not before.

Thank you for expressing your feelings. I am sure that Jim is very frustrated and

upset about having to be at home and not at work. It only takes a little bit of common

sense to realized that a person's health is worth more then any watch you can buy.

Jim, I wish you a speedy recovery, we will all survive until you return. Come back

when you are really ready and forget about those that have their priorites first in

mind. You are number one to you, remember that.

I'm certain Mr. Jim feels bad about missing Mr. Wing's predator TTV, the Stuhrlings

and certainly the Invictas that have come through the Must Watch event. But as has

been pointed out by those wise watchgeeks in this forum, while this is a hard time for

Mr. Jim, it is but a 'speck' on the mosaic of his career.

We won't forget Mr. Jim and when he comes back, and is 100%, it will just be that

much better!

I hope Jim takes his time and takes care of himself. In my experience nearly

everything's else pales in comparison to the value of one's health.

Regarding the other stuff.....I too am attracted to watches that sing to me; that's

why I tend to hang out in seedy wristwatch karaoke bars.

Thanks guys, but really... there's no need to be concerned. My life is absolutely

normal aside from the sprain. This only limits how long I can talk, and what kind of

foods I can eat... I am able to do everything else normally.

My jaw is finally coming along, I was able to close my mouth fully yesterday for the

first time in about 3 weeks (rear molars will now touch).

Sorry that I've been absent from the forum over the last few days. Apparently this

has spread rumors like wildfire. Something about my contract being up... don't

believe what you read, there is absolutely NO such thing as a 9 month contract, more

BS from someone who has not one ounce of actual knowledge or facts about me or

the industry that I work in.

I have spent a lot of time with my family, which as you know, I don't get the chance

to do nearly enough. I'm on-air about 30 hours a week, on the forum about 30-40

hours a week, plus FB, work email with viewers, and all my photography... I haven't

had much time for my family over the last 2 years. Since I am on medical leave, it

gives me a lot more time with them, and I enjoy it. Also, 2 of the days were spent at

the car dealership (they always seem to take forever don't they?), so I could only

update to my FB because it's easy on the iPhone.

Nothing to worry about, never was... doubtful that there ever will be. At this point I

am hopeful to return to work on the 14th or 15th, but I can only work 1-2 hours at a

time. If I jump back in full force, I can of course re-sprain the joint and I'm back

where I started.

It's funny, when I post up full details about any long term absence, it's mocked

elsewhere because they say I'm doing a "woe is me", yet those same people now are

balking because I HAVEN'T been very vocal about my condition and updates. Shows

the mentality I have to deal with over the internet huh? No skills require small

brains... or something to that effect. Super skills require bigger rumors? Wait... oh

forget it

I'll be back soon, and thank you to those who have messaged and posted. I apologize

for not being more attentive. I'm just simply enjoying many of the important things in

life with my family lately, and spending less time online.

Yes... I've had an operation myself. If you don't follow the Post-Op orders by the

surgeon, one might get into trouble!!! We all wish him the best. And it's up to others

to fill in and keep the show going. Our best wishes to Jim Skelton!!
