My wife and I had a fantastic weekend out on the boat with family and friends. But Monday was for honoring and remembering those that paid the ultimate sacrifice for our Freedom. Always remember....

XtremeIdiots would like to wish all members celebrating their birthday today a happy birthday. Dirk Diggler (56)KillingmanXI (59)

Dual or triple monitors are usually used for multitasking where as ultra wide curved are typically used for gaming. The curved monitor will usually have a higher refresh rate offering a much smoother experience. Your field of view will also be greater and will not be broken up by the added bezels.

Happy Birthday to you both.

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.

Happy Birthday

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.

That I can PROMISE you!

NICE pics - thanks for sharing (watch out for the guy in the blue shirt - looks like an >IDIOT< )

Have a GREAT birthday!!!!

I use a 34" curved ultra wide, 3440 x 1440 144Hz, 1ms. Great for gaming although new games would benefit more I think than the older COD games but enjoy it in any case. For the distance I sit from my monitor, I don't think I'd want to go bigger otherwise I think the viewing angle would be too much.

Happy birthday to both of you!!

happy Bday Weed thes are cheaper then buy boxes of birthdat candles LoL

Happy Birthday and have a great day

It's been 35+ years since I had a good Rhubarb pie or cake. My grandmother used to make it all the time and it was absolutely Killer especially with home made ice cream. Me and my 2 brothers and sister used to be "in charge" of making the ice cream. All we did was turn the handle and add ice. I think it was to keep us out of Grandmas hair lol.

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.

They need to add a dull knife mode so it take two slices just to mess with you. hahahaha If your hands are like I, I can not play like I use to for more than 20 minutes before I become stiff as a board and not in the good way. I consider it the rewards for playing the game. It is fun though to jump in a game or two and have a blast. Agreed. Get a duller knife and I'll take a slick of your arse.

Come visit us on cod5 freeze tag around 1:30 or 2PM EST Papa . Usually lots of players from all over playing . Would love to have another player join in!

Nobody cares how good (or bad) of a player you might be. We are just glad to have you back!

Lets just say it's good to have you back and playing ..

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.

Pretty sure they both take the motorcycles.

no direct flights min 2 correspondance 900$ then have to rent a car 600$ plus room fees .. Its costly for a week-end....

OUF 21 hours drive from my home.....a bit too far ...

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...............................................

found a flight with one connection but its 1433$.....
