Hi all as you know a few weeks ago my wife was diagnosed with Bowel Cancer. Well yesterday she went into hospital and they carried out a 4 hour surgery to remove part of her lower bowel and intestine that contained the tumour. The surgeon told me it was a lot larger than they expected 15cm across (the size of a large grapefruit). Well they got it all and there were no signs of it spreading. As a precaution they took a few biopsies further up the bowel and intestine to be sent off for testing. Although my wife is in a lot of pain and requires a lot of healing we are all over the moon and she looks better already.

Hey guys just want to say that I’ve finished a goal of mine of getting a degree, even though its just an associates, its still the first in my family so its something I am proud of. I also landed a job in hopefully my career as a Jailer which I hope to eventually move up to be a deputy for the sheriff’s department.

A man in Florida once threw a live alligator through a drive-thru window. A 24-year-old man named Joshua James was being handed his order at a Wendy’s drive-thru before he randomly threw an alligator into the window. He was then later charged for assault, theft, and the illegal possession of an alligator.

Great news Baldie

When switching vendors for graphics , I use Display Driver Uninstaller. Program will block windows from installing drivers after uninstall and shut down the pc after uninstall. You can restart and install Nvidia drivers clean. DDU- https://www.wagnardsoft.com/

Oops.... yes ... it is @monkie Sorry

Yes, I am the tallest and better looking as the other lot

Fantastic!

Great News, I am close to you with my heart and prayers, a hug and may the force be with you

Welcome to our forums.

Is your monitor connection to your PC the same? ie. HDMI, displayport, etc? Your going from AMD GPU to Nvidia... Did you uninstall the AMD drivers and then install the latest Nvidia drivers?

@Senzei Thanks for sharing, great read. I thought for a minute there you actually had 2 pet bears.

That's awesome, and nothing wrong with an associates degree. Well done. Congrats.

Congratulations! If there is a will there is a way.

I believe YOU GENTLEMEN are entitled to the XI medal meeting up with another member! I’m not sure who awards them? Can you help?@ROCKAPE

Haha.... should have thought about it. First picture from left to right >>> Monkey, myself and sstriker.

As many of you know, back in February I had a full mouth teeth extraction done, too many hard drugs and lack of dental care in my younger years had them rotting and breaking in my mouth, so, had 26 teeth pulled at once. The last 2.5 months have been mentally taxing to say the least, you dont realize before hand just what a difference it is going from teeth to no teeth, even crooked broken bojangled teeth like I had, then to just gums, its been a time i tell ya! But, light at the end of tunnel has arrived! I got my prototype dentures today. I wear these for a week and report back any issues, rubbing, tight spots, sizing ect. Color will be decided in 1 week as well,currently teeth and gums of dentures exact same color, the final ones with have proper coloring and such So here is pics of my smile before extraction, after extraction and with prototype dentures in...what a difference!!! also, any members with full dentures who have any advice on adjusting/eating/talking please feel free to drop your advice here

Looking great Stormcrow!
