You make a really good looking pair! Congrats Guys Be happy!

I sure as hell am out of it cause I have no clue!

Hey! Arrienn I know you are very busy! I am just curious how my sig is coming. I' am assuming you may have forgotten an ole man like me. That's okay, I get forgotten all the time. Seriously I am just asking because if you tried to send it to me thru the site mail or pm I did not receive it yet. See you in the killing fields!

Incredible music and extra-ordinary talent. I LOVED IT.

Live congrats on your new addition to your lovely family!

GaberialX now that post was from me, while I do apologize if it did offend anyone, It was meant as a joke so yet again my sincere apologies. GabrialX I knew what you meant by it But I just thought it was a good time to show while there is a wide spread in beliefs here we can as men and women have the compassion to allow each other to be what we are. This post is in no way a reflection on you or your beliefs or your joke. Just to acknowledge that there are other view points!

I wanna wish ShadowLady a very warm and friendly HAPPY BIRTHDAY! May it be all you wanted it to be!

Most of you that know me know that I am pretty easy going. Every once in a while I see or hear something that stirs my mind. The other day there was a posting about the invalidity of God and Christianity! I wasn't offended because I believe everyone has the right to believe however and whatever they so choose. Having said that tho, I remember something that happened to me. You can take it with a grain of salt or completely ignore it. My intention is not to be preachy or self righteous, but to just tell a story and then tell you why I told the story. Back about 28 yrs ago in less than 2 wks my father(Papa Todd as we fondly called him) Passed away. He was the kindest, nicest, most loving man I have ever know then or since. As I went to the funeral I was fairly composed and seemed to be ok. It wasn't till I returned to my home in the great state of Washington that the effects of grieving begin to wreck havoc on my self. I would wake in the middle of the night in a cold sweat with an uncontrollable sobbing. Being the next to the youngest of 8 children, all but me and one sister were with Papa when he passed. I felt so guilty about that and it just seem to eat at me. I was raised in a very conservative christian home and believed in the power of prayer very much so one night after I seemed to be getting worse I got down on my knees and asked God to help me with this problem. That night I had a powerful dream. I dreamed that I was by my Papa's bedside as he laid there dieing. I held his hand and told him I loved him, but that it was his time to go home. Then I told him bye. That was when he passed on to another world. Now I know there are many skeptics and that is fine but this is a true story and I lived it. My purpose is strictly to let those that don't believe you are free to feel however you want for why you want. Your still my friends. Many people need what the many different religions in the world have to offer. They need rules and such to have something to direct their lives by. Many others do not need that, and that's okay too. I have a saying that maybe we all can live by. "Just because I believe it does not make it so." That means to one it is the truth to another it is not. I ask that each and everyone of us be a lot more tolerant of those that don't believe the way we may. There is only one way to prove or disprove anything about the hereafter and that is to go into the hereafter and see if it is true. Happy Holidays in the coming months!

There are so many people who are never happy with where their at, what their doing, or what they have. It occurred to me that most of us would rather be living a life other than what we are living! I know for what it is worth I sure would, but sometimes or should I say most of the time, we are not given the choice of what we would rather be doing or the life we would rather be living. I would rather be living in a happy relationship and doing the things a happy family does. I would love to go to Alaskan sometime to fish both for salmon and the giant halibut. If you need a place to express your wantsn and wishes for life here is your chance. Lets hear what you have to say! Are you happy want a change or changes. Here is you chance to write it down.

I have had better luck withAMD myself.

Great! Loved it!

Regardless Johnny I still am in awe at them! Thanks for posting!

Ruggerxi Now that all this drama stupid shit is done, I have a little time to work on servers again. I will get something setup ASAP Awesome Rugger! I was hoping something could be done! That's why your the number ONE guy! LOL!!! Anyway thanks for giving us an ear!

Larsin you make some very interesting points. Its food for thought for all of us!

The main reason and really the only reason I do not go to the knife server is because it is way too slow for the style I am use to on the ace mod. Evool I am glad you posted this. I know several peeps would go there to sharpen and learn their skills but its way to slow. I don't know if it is posiblle to do this but I would visit it much more if it is possible.

Beautiful! Gratz!

{KN}PingLo I think I saw a trailer hitch for a caravan on the back of Mick's vette for when he goes camping... But Pinglo he's just going fishing! LMAO

I am one that "HATES" campers with a passion, BUT Mick everybody does it at some point or other. I use to get all pissed off and go into a rant and rage until I realized the only person being bothered by my raging was me. Lately when I have had enough and depending how many are playing I will tell them all if they don't come out and play I am leaving the server. As I am the best source for kills they usually start playing, but if they don't I leave.

Grats! Chile another victim to slice and dice! LOL On a more serious note really enjoy your children while you have them!

Wild my heart goes out to you. I can relate to the stress you are going thru as I have just lost my home and everything. I want to tell you somethings that may help you and you precious wife I was in the process of loosing everything I was suffering from depression and was in dire need of help. Thank God I was able to recognize that I did because I was thinking about ending it all myself. ZAfter I received the help I needed I realized some things. First all the things I was stressing about loosing were just"things", not worth all the stress and anguish they were causing in my life. You have a right to be angry and upset with the insurance company, but there are many many more worse things that an happen. Things can, and are replaced everyday. It is not a disgrace upon you or your wife when an unscrupulous business ruins what you have worked long and hard for. I was married for 28 yrs and when she left one day my world came crashing to the ground. I tried so hard to get companies to work with me but they refused and now I am divorced and bankrupt and alone as both of my kids who were living with me have moved out on their own. My health deteriorated so I was forced to quit my job and I have begin the long road back by going to school to get an education. My point in telling you all this is Bro. while your looking at a long dark tunnel now, you will come out the other side more than a conqueror. My prayers are for you!

i SAY JUST LOOSEN YOUR ARSE HOLE UP AND IT'LL COME OUT JUST FINE!

When you spawn and there are dead bodies all around!

I want to just throw something out there for a possibility that we make a memorial wall for all the soldiers that we know that died in the line of duty so that we as >XI< members still have this privilege to play this great game. I also think it would be cool to honor the ones still serving where every month we post a special honor to one of them and have it a recurring only with some one new, on the website too. I don't know how you all feel about this or if it is even feasible but its worth a shot.

ph4nt0m I agree with Greywolf that yes, it is just a game and yes, we do do this thing we do to get away from the every day stresses of life, but that said, everybody still have a certain amount of competetiveness in them lets face it nobody plays to lose, On that basis it's difficult to name certain players that dominate or are better or worse than others, we do have some fantastic players here at XI that not only play well, but also encourage others to up there game to try to beat them on the odd occasion, my own personal game has improved tenfold over the last few years but I put that down to the peers that I play against, We are only as good as the peers that we measure ourselves against. This should be posted as as a permanent quote on the front page some where to remind us all we are only what we are because of all the other players we play against.

BTW Phantom you are the bar that I measure myself by!
