    LilAcorn reacted to Icequeen in My son   
    I just wanted to come on here because I am a proud mama. I dont tell a whole lot of people about my son's problems in his life. As some of you do know he has Aspergers. So its been some what of a challenge in certain areas but in all aspects of life you adapt and over come. Well it has taken alot but I am so proud to say that he got accepted into a nursing program and is going to try for Nurse Practioner.

    Let start with your clan name? Wildthing>XI<

GOD had other plans for me because I had epilepsy growing up from 2 years of age to 20 years. One thing that my father taught me was to never give up or take no for an answer when people would tell me I could not do things.
    Where have you lived? I have lived in 5 States in this country of the United States of America. I feel that as a nation we have torn ourselves apart and really not looked at how we became one of the super powers of the world.
    I would like to share some music that I feel trully touches on the meaning of America.
    Feel the words and feel the meaning please.

    LilAcorn reacted to Ruggerxi in Loco is leaving the COD4 Admin team   
    I’m very sad to report that Loco is leaving the Cod4 admin team for personal issues. 
    He has done a huge amount of work for the COD4 community and it will be very hard to replace him. 
    He was in charge of all the map rotations for COD4, so you will have bare with us until we can sort out the map rotations. 
    You will be missed Loco, but the door will always be open for you to come back once your personal issues are sorted. 
    Thank you for everything

    Some of us have known Teds was not doing great but it now seems he is on limited time.
    Blownaway had got a chance to get out and see him some short time back and Teds was having a tough time then. I am Thankful Teds open his home to Blownaway for a few day visit and it seems now things have gotten far worse to the point Teds has moved in with his sister for hospice. He told me today she is taking the greatest care of his needs and she is truly a Blessing. Teds has Stage four cancer in its final stage with maybe a few weeks to a month left. Lord willing his suffering will not be that great in his final days
    @Ruggerxi he wanted me to share with you personally that he had a wonderful time all these years being a part of what you helped create here and being a member here ranked number #1 in time for the longest of him being a part of any one thing in his life (including marriage). He has the most respect for you for not only being a founder but the way you have always handled things with a tremendous amount of fairness.
    To all that knew and gamed with him over the years (to many to list) he wanted to Thank each and everyone of you for bring so much fun to the servers where the "old guys" came to talk trash. We had some great memories to reflect on
    I myself and deeply saddened and will report back as any news comes in. I will ask those whom Pray to do so on his behalf and his Sister who has chosen to be his caregiver in his final days
