Raisin reacted to baldie in We recieved bad news on Sunday
Yesterday I took my wife for pre booked tests at the hospital. And after having an Endoscopy and Colonoscopy the Doctors discovered my wife has Bowel Cancer.
At the moment we are just numb and trying to get our heads round it, Donna is a woman who has never smoked or drank to excess (the odd glass of wine) and teaches PE at school. So she has always been fit and healthy. And in ten years has only been off work twice due to illness it just makes no sense.
We have now told all the family which has been very hard on everyone. This woman is my rock for over 22 years we have only ever been apart 3 times in all those years. I find myself having to be the strong one telling everyone its alright mum will be fine, while cracking jokes and keeping a smile on my face when in reality I just want to scream.
It is now a waiting game for more tests and the results from the Biopsy. We have a full body CT scan booked for the 4th of next month to see if it has spread and only after those results will the Doctors decide the next step.
I do not claim to be a religeous man but I prayed for the first time in a lot of years. Not for me but for my wife who is the most wonderfull kind and gentle woman you could ever wish to meet.
I only post this to remind everyone, hug the special people in your life , tell them you love them today. Because you never know what tomorrow brings.
Wishing everyone the best
Baldie (Rob)

Raisin reacted to codpiece in Financial markets
I love the Bond Market. It's where I park my money when the market is bad. However, when I want to make money, well stocks are the place to be. "Smart" comes into play with the investor. He or She needs to make good choices about where and when to put their money. Sometimes it's stocks and sometimes its Bonds. History shows that the return on investment is far better with stocks. History also shows that the bond market is a good way to protect your investment. I guess it boils down to one's personality and tolerance to risk. Best of luck out there to those investing!

2021 Toyota Tacoma. Every airbag deployed. Was a great truck. Kept my wife and 12 y/o daughter safe. I am so thankful that I'm not burying two family members during the Easter week...
I have been blessed.

Raisin reacted to Timmah! in hope this one stands in USA
Doing gig economy 70 hrs./wk...I was over the mandates in my context about 5 months ago...if someone in there buying food for dine-in or carryout, they don't have standing to complain...& the employees mostly were wearing masks because their employers' requirement, management included. If you're in the service industry & it ain't killed you after 18+ months of continuous daily exposure, it's prolly not going to. And if you're a customer patronizing a luxury such as dine-in or carryout...well then, that's tacit acceptance of any risks...

Not a lot of the players that play on the server regularly are active on the website. This is probably a waste of time. I appreciate the effort no less.

I've never been a fan of how fast the carbine shoots. Completely unrealistic and overpowered. It's gone from a gun that nobody ever uses to one that players spray and pray their way to kills. It should not shoot as fast as an MG42 and it does.

Curious to see what others think about this gun. Not sure how easy changes can be made, or if this is a hot button issue, yada yada yada. Console chat in game says "we are always trying new things", so I figured may as well bring it up. I have some other comments/ideas for other guns as well if anyone's interested.

Raisin reacted to Wrecksauce in Well, I guess it is an improvement...
Good decision; there's never a cheaper time to run cables than during construction, and it's so worth it! I did some runs that I might never use but I had the cable and it was easy with the studs exposed so thought why not.
