  1. For those who don’t know, my father passed away in June. We were very very close and spent multiple days together every week, especially after my mother passed about 6 years ago. It’s been incredibly difficult these past few months. A few things happened the day he passed and it’s really mentally has taken a huge toll on me. This Fest was so nice because I was able to see my 2nd family and just enjoy the company and not have my mind wondering back to certain things. It really helped knowing those people are there for me no matter what. Then to show what kinda love and support I have from this awesome family. I opened my mailbox today to find this, that @BlackRose @WldPenguin @loaderXI And Blackroses husband made for me Thank you all for this I sent it to my family members and they all loved it! It’s amazing the family bond we have here Thank you so much for this

  3. Hello everyone, some of you know what's been going on with my parents. I'll try and keep this short. Mom and dad are 87 and 90. Dad will be 91 in August mom 88 in September. in April mom had critical loss of blood circulation in her left leg. If you've never seen someone's legs dying it's a nasty looking and painful thing. She was faced with the real possibility of amputation. Luckily her medical providers were able to surgically improve her circulation to the point her feet are slowly healing and the pain has improved. As you know my dad has a multitude of health issues. Congestive heart failure, dialysis 3 times a week, broke his hip twice. Sadly in May he started having sores on his legs and was being in the home by Extramural care. Finally we had to call an ambulance and have him taken to Emergency. He was diagnosed with Critical loss of blood circulation in his right leg and LIVER CANCER involving 1/3 of his liver. At 90 there was great debate in the hospital about treating a 90 year old man with so many conditions of which anyone of them could kill him at any moment. You see my dad is a very intelligent and mentally functioning man. He still pays his bills on line with an iPad. The medical staff are all amazed at how sharp of mind he is. They performed the same procedure on his right leg as they did for my mother. He now has improved blood flow in his lower legs reducing the pain and starting the healing. Dad, my 2 bothers and I had a meeting with the Oncologist regarding the Liver Cancer. He was a great Doctor and explained everything in a gentle way to all of us. He made it a point to say he questioned the wisdom of the other Doctors in treating Dad's circulation but he said after he met dad and interviewed he now agrees with their decision. Unfortunately Dad's Liver Cancer is not treatable as his age and multitude of medical issue would just make him suffer and not accomplish any improvement. The Oncologist mentioned dad's options will be Palliative or Hospice care when the time comes. He is currently in the hospital. Dad has made great improvement in the last week as always he continues to shock his Doctors. This morning the Unit Doctor told us Dad is not ready for Palliative! They are going to heal the sores on his legs and get him ready for a nursing home. He is one fighter. On July 1st Mom and Dad celebrated their 69th wedding Anniversary in the Dialysis department in the hospital. Sorry this is so long. Remember if you have someone in your life you love you better tell them. So I love you all....................in a family way! Wayne aka WeednFeed

  4. As you all know Dad passed away September 30/2023. Mom has been in a nursing home since August 2023. Dad and her were supposed to meet there but it was not to be. On March 05/2023 Mom was rushed by ambulance to Emergency care. She was suffering from pneumonia, a UT infection and poor circulation in her legs. Mom passed away at 1:00 this morning. Dad at 91 and mom 88 after 69 years of marriage they are together again. Their pain and suffering in now over. Although sad our family is so happy they are finally free. Cheers and Love to All.

  8. My Wife developed atrial fibrillation this past summer and has been trying several ways to get her life back to normal. Lifestyle and diet changes and medications galore but she is still struggling from the serious fatigue that can come from this. Very early this morning I took her to the Hospital for her Ablation procedure. I can't stay with her during this since it is a out-patient procedure they will do today. She will be put under and have a "minor" invasive procedure while she is out on her Heart to laser the area that is short circuiting and kill those cells. This allows the Heart to rewire itself and get back to normal rhythm/beating and normal blood flow. But I am hoping for some XI love towards her because anytime they put you under it is Major and she is my much better half and my ride or die partner in crime. Thanks in advance for everyone's good vibrations for her quick recovery.

  11. Some of you have probably seen the reports of the tragedy that not only happened in my neighborhood (5 houses down!) but also struck my firefighter family last night. Many of you may (or may not) know that I have been volunteering at the Sterling Volunteer Fire Company for the past 15 years. Last night my wife and I were finishing our dinner when I noticed a dispatch on my cell phone for an outside gas leak just up the street from my house. These are generally routine calls, however, last night was anything but normal. Our crews arrived on scene to find an underground 500 gallon propane tank leaking. As they normally do, they request a hazardous materials response to assist with these types of calls. Within seconds the home literally exploded. Our house shook like a plane crashed on it. I bolted out front and saw the huge plume of smoke and a fireball that was taller than the trees. I immediately knew what happened. As a company photographer I grabbed my boots and my camera and bolted. I was there in less than 3 minutes after the blast. It was literally like a war zone. We lost a brother last night. And 7 others from my fire company were severely injured. A few were released this morning, but others remain in the hospital. Please say a prayer for them all..... I want to thank those of you that reached out to me this morning. You have no idea how much that means to me. My wife and I, and our house are fine. We are devastated at the loss of our beloved friend firefighter Trevor Brown. And we are anxious to get the rest of our firefighters out of the hospital. Please keep them all in your prayers.... Here is a local news story about the incident: https://wtop.com/loudoun-county/2024/02/possible-house-explosion-rocks-loudoun-co-2/

  12. Last night will burn in my memory always! My favorite rock band allowed me up on stage after soundcheck to TRY to hold up with them for a song on my own! Lead guitarist took up my spot down front of stage and recorded a video for me. 1st I have to say, playing at home along with Youtube videos with no pressure or crashing drums beside you.... SOOOOOOO MUCH EASIER!!! That being said, i DID mess up a bit but everyone there said I did an amazing job powering through and even nailed a few spots and drop ins!! My hands were shaking soooo much after lol! Tonight will be my 50th time seeing the band play

  17. Let start with your clan name? Flying_Dutch Do you have any nicknames? Personal or in game? Not overly – though Raven has taken a liking to Flying_Crutch – read into that what you will When and where were you born? So I was born at 05:40 on the 11th June 1978 in a recently made City of Colchester in the UK When you were a child, what did you want to be when you grew up? I didn’t really have an idea of what to be as an adult Where have you lived? Colchester, Chelmsford, Brighton, Exeter, Scunthorpe, Plymouth, Stevenage, Camborne, Penryn, Manchester and Liverpool What got you into gaming? My brother used to play Medal of Honour so I followed him. Your first game you played? Pong – very old game And what do you play now? COD4 Why did you join XI? I found the server and joined up ten years ago and never looked back. What do you get from being in this clan? It’s a lot of fun. The players are good fun and its always good escapism. What is your favorite hobby? If I had the time I’m sure I could evolve it past wine. What is your favorite travel destination? Anywhere with a beach and hot men. Are you married? Not yet, but if Wildthing is reading this – you know where I am. *wink wink* Do you have children? No What kind of pets do you have, if any? What are their names? So I have a cat called Kit. Are you a sports fan? If so, what is your favorite team? I enjoy what I fondly call spectator sports. Sports that can keep my occupied visually. So diving, running, football. What causes are you passionate about? I’m passionate about any cause that puts people and their success first Do you volunteer? If so, where? I am a non stipendiary Priest What is an interesting fact about you? I would guess being a Priest and a gay one is quite interesting. Its unusual for it to be public knowledge. Have you continued your education past college or university with career development seminars or classes? What kind? Well I guess not overly work related. Gained my intermediate amateur radio license, qualifications for taxi licensing and alcohol licensing. Did you know what profession you wanted to work in when you started college? Well no Did you belong to any professional organizations? So I belong to the Institute of Licensing and the Licensed private hire car association. What is your current job title?

I was an educational officer for a wildlife park and I have also run pubs and clubs Where else have you worked? Zoos, Pubs and clubs. Was a DJ for about 8 years Why did you choose to work in your industry? Well Taxis made it easy to study theology for my Priesthood because I’m self employed I can stop and start. Why do you like your job? Well both can be rewarding and tiresome equally. However the ability to grow with others is a huge plus point How would you describe your career? Tangible. Its where it is and jumps when it needs to. If you could give a younger person career advice, what would it be? Its your life and what you decide today may not be what you want tomorrow, but that’s ok! Are you involved in any professional/ non-profit/sports organizations? If so, do you have a title or rank within these organizations? So within my denomination I am a Diocesan Bishop which is basically an area manager. If you were granted 1 wish, what would you wish for? I guess I would love people to accept others more. I find the world is full of people who struggle to understand others and then use that as a barrier for acceptance. You know none of us understand everything, but a smile and acceptance goes a long way! So to give you guys a bit more on me - I've attached some pics - my desk - where I write sermons and kill people. My cat, My beautiful taxi - Mercedes S350d Long AMG Line. Me out at gay pride. Thanks for reading and as always. If i'm AFK on the game its because i'm on grindr as well. Thanks to all of you for making the ten years so far be amazing and I love each and everyone of you!!

  22. It I with great sadness I announce my dad passed away Saturday September 30. He suffered far too long. He and I made some beautiful memories over the last 5 years as we walked through is medical journey. We were always close but helping a sick parent taxes you and at the same times forms an incredible bond. I feel great relief knowing he not hurting anymore. Not many 66 year old men can say they have/ had a 91 year father. Mother has contacted Covid in the nursing home in turn my wife, sister-in-law and I have also been infected. We can’t go to the parlour but if I feel better I will go to the burial. Thank you for following dad’s journey. Thanks for all the kind words and prayers over the years. If you want to have a look at his obituary here is a link. https://www.fundyfuneralhome.com/obituary/Joseph-Stephen-1

  30. Let start with your clan name? SGT_Smeg COD4 Moderator Do you have any nicknames? Personal or in game? Oh I have been called a lot of things, right @ShadyBrady?! But none seem to stick. So no.... When and where were you born? Born in Washington D.C. in 1962 When you were a child, what did you want to be when you grew up? I wanted to get into law enforcement. Thank goodness I didn't.....if I were a cop you'd probably be reading about me in the news. Where have you lived? Virginia my entire life What got you into gaming? I have been interested in games on computers since my father got his first PC back in 1983. I have never gotten into console gaming like XBOX, Wii, etc. Your first game you played? Duke Nukem using dial up modem's with friends I worked with. And what do you play now? COD4 exclusively and occasionally COD2 Why did you join XI? The people. I used to float around the COD4 servers but the people at XI just made me feel welcome. Well everyone except @ANGU5. What a jerk. What do you get from being in this clan? Is it weird to say I get withdrawals when I have to skip a few nights of playing? I love this clan and the people in it. They are like my second family. What is your favorite hobby? Photography and boating What is your favorite travel destination? Wow this is a tough one. Florida Keys is at the top of my list. Are you married? Yes. Will be 37 years in October. Can't imagine life without my wife, Jona. Do you have children? Yes, one son and one grandson. Thomas who is 31 and his son Tilian who will be 3 in October What kind of pets do you have, if any? What are their names? Dogs. Rusty (Jack Russell Terrier) and Koi (a Sato rescue dog from Puerto Rico) Are you a sports fan? If so, what is your favorite team? No, I never watch professional sports. It used to be the Washington Redskins until they went woke. What causes are you passionate about? Giving back to my community Do you volunteer? If so, where? My wife and I volunteer with our local fire company. We are both life members going on 15 years. I served as the Vice President of the fire company for 7 years, now we focus primarily on Life, Safety & Education hosting community events teaching about fire safety. We are both passionate about scouting. Our son is an Eagle scout and as Scoutmaster of my sons troop, I mentored 24 Eagle scouts and was the recipient of the Scoutmaster Award Of Merit. We no longer volunteer as scout leaders, but it was a big part of our lives. What is an interesting fact about you? Nothing in particular. What you see is what you get with me. People can usually tell everything they want (or don't want) to know about me within the first 10 minutes of meeting me. I am very down to earth, respectful and have never met a stranger. Have you continued your education past college or university with career development seminars or classes? What kind? I went to technical / trade school. I have, however, been in many technical training courses as part of my corporate training development to support their operations. Did you know what profession you wanted to work in when you started college? I did not go to college other than a few night classes. I stopped taking classes. It wasn't helping my career and it just wasn't my thing. Did you belong to any professional organizations? No What is your current job title? Senior SAN (Storage Area Network) Engineer. Did you win any awards or recognitions during your education? No Where do you work? I work for Baptist Memorial Health Care Corporation. We are a large chain of hospitals and clinics throughout Tennessee, Mississippi and Arkansas. What other job titles have you had in your career? Too many to list. All centered around the various positions in IT that I have held Where else have you worked? I worked at the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) for 18 years. These are the people with the label on the 'Nature Made Vitamins'. Other than that I have worked for many companies around Washington D.C that were contractors to the United States government and U.S. military branches. Why did you choose to work in your industry? IT is very interesting and challenging. It is an industry that has many different paths to take, career wise. It also pays well. It is also a very cut throat industry, working many hours when everyone else is off such as nights, weekends and holidays. Why do you like your job? I like being challenged. Work is boring if you're not being challenged. I like technical things, and working on the infrastructure of a datacenter is the basis for everything that happens in that datacenter. No servers or databases or applications that people use will work without the infrastructure that I put in place. How would you describe your career? My career in IT has been amazing. I learned to program mainframes on punch cards back in the 1980s. Anyone that has ever used punch card machines and run that deck through a card reader knows just how far things have come with regard to computers. I have had the ability to reinvent myself many times over my career. Sometimes by choice and sometimes because I was laid off because a contract I was on was lost. I have gone from mainframe programmer to open systems (Unix) System Administrator, to Enterprise Backup Engineer to Storage Area Network (SAN) engineer. The opportunities in IT are literally limitless. What are some accomplishments you've achieved during your career? Too many to list. Mostly personal goals achieved and many company recognitions. The list would bore you to death. Describe a time that your career was rewarding. One of the most rewarding times in my volunteer career at my fire company was receiving the Loudoun County Combined Fire-Rescue System award for exceptional leadership for new members system wide. This is an award that was presented to me by the Loudoun County fire rescue leadership. This award is presented to one person every year who is chosen from the thousands of career and volunteer fire staff within the combined system. It made me feel like I really made a difference, and I am very proud of that recognition. If you could give a younger person career advice, what would it be? You are the only thing getting in your way. All you have to do is have the tenacity and willingness to learn. Put forth the effort to learn. Forget about instant gratification and keeping up with the joneses. That will come in time. Be willing to be the low man on the totem pole and work your way up. Dedication and perseverance will get you everywhere you want to go in life. Don't be the guy who has all the answers. Don't come in with a cocky personality with a know it all attitude. Just don't. Be willing to put in the time, the hard work, the sweat equity into your career and it will serve you well. What is your favorite thing about your career or industry? My favorite thing is working with a team that is as dedicated as I am, doing the right thing and taking pride in what I do. I love working with a group that has different responsibilities in IT than I do, yet we all have the same goal. Brainstorming ideas (because there is always more than one way to get a job done) and coming to an agreement on the best path forward.....and then implementing that to a successful completion is just so awesome. What is a valuable lesson you learned in your career? I learned that being humble, being open minded, listening and learning is all that you need to succeed. What do you hope to accomplish in your career? I am done with accomplishments. I love what I do now and I look forward to hopefully retiring in 4 years or so. Are you involved in any professional/ non-profit/sports organizations? If so, do you have a title or rank within these organizations? No What is your favorite sport? Is fishing a sport? Do you play any sports? Is fishing a sport? If you were granted 1 wish, what would you wish for? To retire and travel (mostly on the boat) with my wife If you won a very large amount of money what would you do? Buy a bigger boat

Concert was amazing, got to go see my 2nd favorite band The Lazys, went with the lead singer and girlfriend of my FAVORITE band Monster Truck! And I got to eat my 1st real meal!!! Ramen!!! the drummer of The Lazys sent me a message saying he had a gift for me, all the members were checking in on me last week and were so happy to see me there and took time to chat, was great, The drummer made me a custom skin for my wall, thats me, and those are my teeth and the name of their newest single Rattle Them Bones was so good just to feel normal for a night again!!!!

  36. The servers have been getting very busy lately which is a good thing, but with that also comes more whining and complaining and more hacking accusations. The hacking accusations have gotten so bad lately that we have to start taking action against the repeat accusers. These people will get a warning to start and then temp bans will start. If that doesn't work then you will be banned from the server. It's very easy to get proof, go to spectate, record the player. However you want to do it, but the most easy way to do it is this Bring down your console and type: /record (demo's will be named demo00000.dm_1, demo000001.dm_1 etc etc.) To stop the record, type: /stoprecord Get the demo file and send it to an admin, they look at it and see the hacking being done and they ban the player. It's so easy to do, instead of going in game everyday and accusing the same players everyday and whine they're not banned yet, just get the video and they're banned. Very very simple. So instead of possibly getting banned from the greatest servers on the planet, just get the video. If you spectate the person and can't see their hacking then you should go into the server after and say I spectated them and they are not hacking.

  46. My mother passed away last tuesday oct 17 th. She left us like she was sleeping eyes shut and relaxed . She was fighting a fucking lung cancer ( even she quit smoking in late 70's) for almost 3 yrs. It took me a few days to find the strenght to talk about it. Since i lived far from her i didnt saw her since 8 days before, and she was ok enough that no one would knew that shes gonna left us that early. I think that was her heart that failed do to medications.. Now im feeling that something was forced removed from my gut and soul , its like im lost a bit... My only regret is i didnt talked to her enough . So never say tomorrow when need news of a close one. She was the bound and the reason of our family and shes was always up to do a big feast for holidays to reunite us . I will always missed her! I love you mom!!! Here is a picture took for my 60th anniversary last august with my father and 3 brothers at my parents home in Blainville Quebec. Clockwise from upper left: Michel , Pierre , Daniel , me , my father Jean-Marie , and my mother Cecile. My parents are both from New-Brunswick Canada . THX for reading me Mark

He has some follow-up appointments scheduled for this coming Tuesday. Funsticks asked me to pass along a message to all of you as well. He wanted me to let you all know that him and I will tag-team you fkrs in the F'tag soon, but before that, he could really use our prayers.
