NickHouston reacted to JAYsus_NL in Friends of XI platoon
Smurf asked me to create a platoon for all the regular players on the XI servers who are not (yet) a member of XI, but like to be in a platoon. So i did; I created a platoon called Friends of XI [foXI].
If you are interested come and join!

NickHouston reacted to LandShark in NickHouston
Welcome to the forums. Please note that XI strictly forbids the killing of any sharks in its servers. If a shark should happen to kill you, please do not retaliate, they are protected at XI.

NickHouston reacted to HarryWeezer in No active cancer!!!
While in Vietnam I heard a crack as I was getting up one morning and looked up to see a small round hole in the tile. Where my head had been seconds earlier was an M16 round. Feel like I dodged a bullet there - and that I just dodged another one.
Bone marrow biopsy among numerous other tests shows a precursor stage of myeloma called MGUS (monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance) which means there is a clone of plasma cells in the bone marrow. But they are not malignant. Only a small portion of patients with MGUS go on to develop active myeloma and even then, it can take years.
So now the focus is on what hammered my kidneys last summer and fall. Nephrologist believes I've lost seventy to eighty percent of function: either some drug or combination of drugs that I was on, or possibly an infection from a parasite (Toxoplasmosis) that manifested in my left eye last December and was quickly treated. Next up is a kidney biopsy but even if it comes to a transplant, I have five siblings who are waiting to test if needed.
Feel MOST fortunate!!! Sometimes, the good guys win (at least, I've always felt like I was one of the good guys.) And without question, all the support I got from family and friends carried me through and will continue to.
Now, I'm going to go out and get drunk - since I don't drink, it won't take much.
