Today’s Weed’s 67th Birthday so I decided I’d make a Rhubarb cake with cinnamon sugar topping. Delicious served with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. I’m adding 2 pictures one of the actual cake straight out of the oven but the plate with the ice cream is from last years bake.

Friday morning 5/24/24 at 7:30 am while at work I started feeling lots of chest pain and thought it might be heartburn so I tried to get my day going. Within a few minutes I started feeling sweaty and the pain got worse. I have been thru this before so I went in to my Bosses office and sat down and told him I couldn't do my job the way I was feeling because it wasn't safe. about 2 minutes later I asked him to please call 911 and I took a nitro tab and removed my dress shirt. "Didn't want it cut off me". Lucky for me the Fire Department is only about 10 blocks straight down the street and before he was off the phone we could hear the sirens. The Paramedics ran a tape on me and told me I was having a Massive Heart Attack and transported me the 1/2 mile to the hospital ER where I stayed for about 10 minutes. Time is crucial in this sort of shit. I was in the Operating room is less than 20 minutes from the 911 call and the Dr.'s spent the next 2.5 hours working on bring me back. From what I have learned so far I had a "Plaque Rupture" in my Aorta meaning the plaque rupture the blood vessel wall and caused a major blockage to the main flow of blood to my heart and also sent clots into the lower chamber. They were able to put in a Stent and break up most of the clots while in the Cath Lab without having to cut open my chest. I sent the next 24 hrs. in ICU because they had to give me a Heparin IV to quickly thin my blood so the clots would break up rather then travel to my brain and cause a Stroke. The next 2 days were in CICU to monitor my recovery. Needless to say my Wife was frantic about seeing me like this and in much worse shape then before during my previous attacks. Good news is both my other Stents are just fine but this new one is in a major area. I had quit smoking cigs 14 months ago because of the last one but my body just makes plaque regardless of what I eat or do. I am now home where I am much more comfortable and with the love of my life and if I keep getting better I can return to work within 14 days or so? However it is hard to keep my stress level down when all I can think about is the medical bills that will start arriving soon and the money I am not making while at home resting. The thought of us losing our home among other things is driving me crazy right now. I would rather leave this earth with her having our home and some savings than to be here and her become homeless. If you smoke please stop, if you eat poorly please try to eat better and if you don't exercise at least try to walk 30 minutes a day. Do this not for yourself "it will help you" but do it for those who love you and cherish you. Tell those you love those words as often as possible because you never know what your final words to them might be or when you might not come home from work. Peace and LOVE to you all.

I am the 7th child of an eight-child family. Even with all my support as a child, I didn't comprehend what it meant to be a team player. By that I had this let me at them and I'll show them. I had older siblings ready to fight for me but I wanted to be in the middle of the fray! Then as I began gaming it transferred and I was a loner. I had many people ask me why I didn't play freeze tag. I tried but I have and still have a problem with waiting for someone else to take a player down causing a traffic jam. Since I have been back here and what little I have been here I have only seen 1 or 2 players on the ACE-MOD server. That's where I made bank but scared many others lol. I have been cursed for cutting someone and they came back for more hahahahaha. Ain't that funny. Now to be honest I am not close to being the player I used to be but I still enjoy it. I love that bacon I sliced for years lol One of these days we need to have a game or 2 there again. I just nee to set my char up to play there with that speed and all . But I know for sure many of you all want to slice my arse...............................................

Ps can’t afford 67 Candles lol?

XtremeIdiots would like to wish all members celebrating their birthday today a happy birthday. WeednFeed (67)RustyRifle (49)DanWelsh86 (38)

Does anyone have any comments on using a larger curved Monitor? Currently using 3 27 inch, and one just took a dump. Correction 2 27 inch...

Happy birthday weed! Cake looked great!!

oh i think its time to dump my CRT 14 in monitor.....im a way outdated

Happy weed day!!!!

There is 3 dm servers Dean. You just have to check to see where people are. Ace Mod you start with 50 % life so it is really hard to knife in there.

Looks good, Weed! Happy Birthday, pal.

Bout to do a lot of catfishing here soon. looking to see what ppl use for bait? I use worms minnows and shrimps. catch the most off worms tho.

Really like my 34" Alienware https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/alienware-34-curved-qd-oled-gaming-monitor-aw3423dwf/apd/210-bfrp/monitors-monitor-accessories?tfcid=91049735dgc=opl&gacd=9684992-1104-5761040-266906002-0&dgc=ST&SA360CID=71700000117208888&&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwgdayBhBQEiwAXhMxthumdzTvuufwAGxqRQ5EmBBXT1I6sFLtEcHGi8zBl4-ekU_qTM8zKhoCYTAQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

That would be interesting Budman going from 3 displays down to one curved. Let me do a search on this. I wonder if the curved would be better. OK found lots to choose from. Some of this may help. The Best Curved Monitors for 2024 I like this Samsung. Heck this wide of a display.. heck yet it has to be better than three displays. @TBB needs three of these to make a circle so he can be surrounded by his porn collection. https://www.pcmag.com/picks/the-best-curved-monitors Ultrawide vs. dual monitors: Which should you choose? https://www.pcworld.com/article/395110/ultrawide-vs-dual-monitors.html Here is something that may or may not be an issue with a ultrawide display. I guess Window management. Someone with one can confirm or deny this one. That being said... I like this verdict.

That looks so good. I'm out of Ice Cream. The cake looks good as well. hahaha jk That cake looks hellofalot better than the ice cream. Happy Birthday Weed!

Looks delicious, and Happy birthday! 67 huh, I remember 67 , seems like just a couple of years ago, well maybe a little more than a couple. Have a great day Weed!

Thats great news She is looking great

had this with complete new set up no bios screen no display tried old card fine,Mb fans etc going, THEN remembered hd same problem many yrs ago,get a soft cloth and clean the GPU connections,then try it,they accutally tarnish,same can happen with new motherboards,in that case you have two options being a channle ...1 usse brand new soft tooth brussh or option 2 insssert GPU but not click it into place just rock it in the channle a few times... even got frustrated with new set up i sent lot back mb.cpu ram.gpu..they tested it fine ,got it back had same problem then remembered above....bing worked ....you have to remember most gpu and mbs sit for months maybe in anti static bag but have air locked in so tarnishing happens As for old software, just delete then go into C and delete there folders allso if you have hidden folders enabled you will see USER in C click in there and remove them, most software removals just disable but do not remover the original[ thiss is called clean install], on restart Windows will or should use a default driver to use may take 2 attempts,then install new drivers from web or downloaded ps if you do not feel comfortable doing the clean install process do not do it

Good news for sure! Prayers for a full and strong recovery .

That is fantastic news bud, hope for continued progress!
