As some of you know from the UK XI get together last year, and previous Zoom gatherings I have had a problem with my throat for over a year and kept losing my voice. Doctors kept telling me on 3 seperate occasions that it was due to Covid or should I say long Covid . Well about November I lost my voice almost completely only the odd day where i was remotely audible. After waiting weeks to see my Doctor I finally got an appointment 3rd January. Thankfully my usual Doctor was off sick so I had to see a Stand in, And the first thing he did was refer me to Hospital. 2 weeks ago I saw the ENT consultant who after asking me numerous questions shoved a camera up my nose and down into my throat, Well I have 3 or more growths on my Vocal Chords, what they are we do not know yet. But I am going into Hospital 7:30am this coming Monday for Biopsies to determine what happens next. Now I am not under any illusion that this was inevitable after 43 years of Smoking, but it is a major kick in the teeth after the wife having bowel cancer last year It would have been nice to have one year without any Crap. But No matter what one way or another I will get through this and then you wont be able to shut me up I will keep you all updated once I have any information. Take care all Rob (Baldie)17 points

Yeah you tossed me for a loop when you notified me. I really can't thank you enough for going out and searching for him. Such a sad loss for sure but comforting to know he is with his wife whom he so dearly loved and missed. We had met up in the past down at Anna Maria Island here in Florida. Sadly the last time we were to meet up his wife had fallen ill and he pretty much called me on the phone as we past each other going in opposite direction. I was heading south to meet up with them and he had to head north to get her home. I hope he is at peace as he was a good man, a good friend and a hell of a good player. Rest in Peace Beers! https://www.legacy.com/us/obituaries/newstrib/name/james-brophy-obituary?id=57177866 Pic of last time we met up15 points

My wife and I just planted 218 tomato and pepper seeds today. We start indoors around this time of year and then when the weather gets warmer we start to take the seedlings outside in the sun or the little greenhouse we have. In early spring they have to come in at night, but later on they can stay out as long as there is no frost warning.We have been doing this for many years now and its a great hobby that also helps with the grocery bills. Here are some pictures (greenhouse pictures are from last year as we still have snow on the ground here): It's a very rewarding hobby. Take care, Sancho10 points

We have lost another long time clan brother
PimpedOutPete and 9 others reacted to Ruggerxi for a topic
So sad to hear this news, he has been around for a long long time and has become a staple in the COD2 servers in the past many years. RIP my friend and hope you and your wife are having a great time again. I added him to the Fallen Members page https://www.xtremeidiots.com/fallen-members/10 points -

I am saddened to hear the news of Jim’s passing. We have gamed together for as many years as I can remember. We may not have seen eye to eye on subjects at times but I loved his passion for this group. I will miss his good morning messages on the website. There was something inherently good about that small gesture. You got your wish Jim, you and Lori are together again. Gods speed my friend. Pete (Ter)8 points -
Many of you know that my wife and I have volunteered with the Sterling Volunteer Fire Company (in Sterling, Virginia) for more than 15 years. One year ago, tonight, my little community of 183 homes suffered a catastrophic explosion of a home just four houses away from where my wife and I have lived for 30+ years. The explosion knocked photos off our walls. Curtains ripped from the walls and the drywall in our garage ceiling collapsed from the pressure of the explosion. The explosion not only rattled and scarred my little community, it tragically took the life of my fellow friend and firefighter, Trevor Brown, who served with my wife and I at the Sterling Volunteer Fire Company. The explosion also significantly injured 11 more of my brothers and sisters , several of whom have still not been able to return to duty and in some cases to work. I was the first fire-rescue personnel on the scene after the explosion. I cannot even describe the horror..the house completely obliterated. And my guys...my fire-rescue family buried under tons of rubble, two of which suffering significant burn injuries. But today...today we reflected and honored their sacrifices. Here is a video I put together for today's events. I thought I'd share a little piece of my world... Peace.... https://youtu.be/KmFPj6pYq4I?si=Rx6NMpGhCBL5laDU8 points

I am so sorry to announce that we have lost another member TheLastColdBeer (Jim Brophy). I had not seen him in game for quite awhile and texting him I never received any response. The last time he had been seen in the server was December 21st. Having a bad feeling since he was a staple of our COD2 group of players I looked up his name on line and sadly found the attached obituary. Jim was always so much fun to play against and it has always been people like him that kept me coming back for more. He always had a upbeat and fun demeanor about him while playing. I know he was going through a lot over the last year with the passing of his brother, he had been making trips from his house in Illinois to Texas to take care of his brothers estate and personal affairs. Jim had also lost his wife years earlier Lori Brophy who passed in 2016. Jim will be greatly missed by all of us that have played with him for years. Sadly this leaves another hole in our clan that can never be filled.6 points

Yes, so very sad to hear this news. Beer had been a long time member when we joined way back when COD2 had a full time, busy CTF server. And we recently started seeing him again in our COD2 TDM server on the weekends. Also played W@W on occaasion. Was always enjoyable to play with, and yes, a good player. He started our infamous "Cheeks" thread in the forums. LOL. RIP Jim.6 points

Well, we'll go with the "clean" version here WILD, because when I first started playing COD4 I used the Saw, and just sprayed and prayed. People said I was wild with that gun. And PENGUIN, because I LOVE Penguins! Have had a penguin obsession for about 40 years now. You can't help but smile when you look at a penguin - can't stay angry or sad, so it's penguin everything for me5 points -

Looking for ppl to play Search and Rescue OR CTF on their server first. Check out their server first and let me know!! They play CTF early in day EST time around 4 -6 pm then change to Search N Rescue. They are not a crouch server. You have to play as a team.

Not gonna go into mine in detail. Lets say it involves spending alot of times around alot of beertaps on a saturdaynight to finish with fastfood after, spending almost your entire sunday on the toilet producing the most sour stuff ever in a kind of shape/form it feel like youre a sourtap. Used to be a joke to call eachother 'zuretap' back in the days I still played football and went clubbing the night before matchdays. Trust me, in dutch it sounds funnier, or not....not sure, probably not. Been a long time ago. Really maturd by now....or...oh well4 points

The first game I played was the MOHAA demo. I had no clue and still don’t. I called myself Really Bug Dog! I was in a server and picked a semi rifle, got kicked! Apparently it was a bolt action rifle only but the server owner had no clue how to block the other weapon choices. That day I was fertilizing my lawn with Weed And Feed fertilizer! I wouldn’t use that type of chemicals on my lawn ever again.4 points

Years ago when I first started sailing on a friends yacht he gave me the nickname Bosun Bob. Then it got shortened to Bosun. I used to play COD4 as Delta-46 as well which was an old callsign of mine, but when I started playing with XI I went with Bosun on the website and now I'm stuck with it lol.3 points
