wishing you a painless recovery Steve.
Dana
Sorry to hear the news Steve. Hope you are back on deck soon to give us an update, and hopefully good news.
All the best to you BB1, hope for a quick and full recovery from here. Prayers from our family.
Damn, all my sincerest hopes for you to get well as painlessly and as quickly as possible – hope you weren’t burnt too badly or at all – that hurts :eh:
Let us know how you are doing…
Steve,
We hope the best for you and a speedy recovery. Hang in there.
Juan and SuperiorShare.comHas anybody heard how Steve is doing? It’s been a long time since the accident.
Yes it has been a long time – something that has kept him in the hospital for nearly 15 days does not seem good. I’d like to send something or do something for him, but definetly hard with no info… sending him emails now…
That’s aweful!
Please let us know how to contact Steve as soon as you can. Our prayers and thoughts are certainly with him. Steve is a great guy and I’ve always had a great deal of respect for him. I have no doubt that he will pull though this.
God bless, Steve… hang in there…
This is amazingly strange and something is just not right…
Ok, I decided I would do my best to track down Steve and find out how he is doing. I called the phone number friends had for him and this was also the one listed in whois, No one ever answers the phone.
Since its been 12 days since the first post about him being in the hospital and since no one has heard anything from him since then I was more then a little worried. So I figured I would do my best to figure out where he is and his status. I checked all available records online, hes wasnt listed in Obituaries thank god, he wasnt in any news records for “man burned” in Kansas City, Stilwell, Stanley or anywhere else in Kansas. Then I remembered he worked in the family Sod business prior to becoming an affiliate, his first site is still named KCSod in recognition of this. Well…. I searched for Briggs Sod in Kansas City and Bingo! I came up with Briggs Borthers sod

Ok so I call them and this is where the story gets really weird and creepy. A man answers the phone and I say:
“Hi, this call may sound a little strange, but I am looking for a friend of mine and I believe he’s a family member of the Briggs, his name is Steve Briggs and well we had heard he was injured in a fire recently, about two weeks ago, then we didnt hear anything else… I was wondering if you knew Steve?”
the fellow answers “Yeah, ok I know Steve”
That’s it he doesnt continue… Odd….
So I ask “Well can you tell me if he’s ok? Is he still in the hospital?”
He answers again “Ok, yeah”
Thats it. He offers nothing else.
so I ask “Well is he still in the hosiptal? Can you tell me what happened is he going to be ok?”
He answers again “Yeah, Ok, yeah he’s still in the hospital, you seem to know everything I know about it”
I was floored! This was extremely odd and evasive behavior. If my brother was in the hospital and friends called to check on him I would have had a ton more to say, but no, this guy was like talking to a clam.
So I said “Well, if you see Steve or talk to him can you let him know his friends wish him well and we are all worried about him”
he answers
“Yeah, Ok”That’s its, he doesnt ask who I am, what friends are worried about him, how to get back to us or anything. He’s just relieved that I wasnt going to keep asking questions about Steve.
Something just aint right here….
:plain: :wow: :eh: :plain:
That is so so bizzare.
Maybe he’s warned them about “government” checking up on him? Maybe they don’t really understand what he does? Maybe you just got the wrong person to talk to at the wrong time of day. I dunno…
Steve called me several weeks ago. Unfortunately, I don’t recall the number and it’s off my caller ID. Shoulda written it down. I will check cell phone logs online and see if I can find it on my bill.

Now this “sod” business … it wouldn’t contain a lot of special “weed” plots would it?
The guy you talked to sounded like a pot-head !!
:happydanccan you call that number back and just ask – “hey, what hospital is steve in?”
Quote:can you call that number back and just ask – “hey, what hospital is steve in?”Yes, I suppose so, but I got the distinct impression they didnt want to discuss it. Blackhawk maybe they would respond differently to you. Here’s the number:
Phone: (913) 681-2500
Hope you get better soon steve.
