Welcome!

News was not good i have fibrosis

In 2 days i find out if i have liver fibrosis,been wrecking my brain for a couple of months now.Just can,t stop thinking about it and whats gonna happen next..

Had rent WAY under market value as had been in home 11 years, landlord threatening to sell and trying to serve us eviction notices, we could have fought him for a year or two as our tenent boards are so back logged, but, we took our lumps (and 4000 cash for keys deal to move) and left. All moved into new house and got the stink eye for getting what I deemed the essentials set up first 
 
The wall of rock

 
and the gaming hub

 
the rest will get done in due time lol

I joined and told me I was classless...
Some nerve

My grandma flew to Ohio from Oregon to be with us for Christmas this year. She flew in Tuesday evening and Wednesday morning we had received a call informing us that my grandpa had passed. My grandma wanted to be there with him when his time came and we all thought she would be. We believe that he knew she was with family, where she needed to be so that he could let go. He had Alzheimer's and it had progressed pretty quickly this last year. My dad, brother, and I were able to fly out last year when he still knew who we were. We were fortunate enough to be able create new memories with him and reminisce on the old ones and enjoy what time we had left with him before saying our goodbyes, knowing that would probably be that last time we would see him, and now he's gone. However, we do believe we will see him again one day and we are grateful he is no longer in any pain or discomfort. He lived a full and happy life and i will forever cherish my memories of him. 
 
He's the one that had inspired my interest in photography and I wanted to share one of the last pictures he had taken.

We are in a blizzard warning here in Northern NY from 1pm today until Monday 7 am and it was just raining so we are flash freezing as the temp plummets.  Lights are already flickering so it should be interesting.  Here's a pic of what we are looking at.
 We are in the light pink!   Merry Christmas! lol

My mother, age 90, born October 25, 1931, passed away this morning.
My wife and I were fortunate enough to be able to talk to her last night and tell her we loved her.
She will be missed very much.
Please keep her in your prayers.....
Merry Christmas, make sure you let your family know how much they are loved.

Welcome.

Me holding back all the ladies when they hear that I just became a Microsoft Azure Cloud Architect:
 

Think it's unfair to call it a cheat. Different fps levels alter the game mechanics in different ways. 125/250 have benefits/disadvantages over 333. I was playing a bunch in a deathrun server earlier in the year, and they'll toggle between all three to maximize the advantages of each. 125 for example will have benefits over the default 85. Is it fair to call that a cheat?

Ultimately I think it boils down to what the admins/owner of a server allow/disallow. Expecting everyone to think 333 is disallowed because of the last line is dubious, especially when other servers/gametypes allow or even encourage it. It should be clearly stated as a rule.

no not yet!

I use express, I checked every server in Australia and the Sydney 2 server works the best for me. from 26 hops down to 18 and from 260ish ping down to 230ish. Im thinking I may have to keep it on permanently as it appears to improve speeds on Youtube and possibly all websites.

...hax

Damn, that makes so much difference for me, using my vpn knocked 8 hops and 30+ms off, and gameplay feels much more stable. I'd never considered that using a vpn would do anything but slow it down even more.
Nice call Sharpe.

Wonder if this could be one of those times a vpn could get you a faster/more direct route? Might be worth trying?

It's going Queensland > Sydney > Perth > London > Spain > Virginia > New York?

First time I think I've ever seen the freezetag server in the number 1 spot?

Carrying around this bag 12 hours a day with the fluid food 🙂

The lead singer of the band Monster Truck borrowed one of my guitars about a year ago to do some recording, he loved the tone of the P90 pick ups. Well it was down at their jamspace so he got all the boys to sign it for me!!! 

Sooo some major changes 🙂 yesterday they took a pic of the new connection between my oesophagus and small intestines and there was no leakage or anything which meant the surgery has gone good and I can eat and drink safely. Yesterday I was only allowed fluids and fluid like food such as yoghurt, but today I can already eat stuff that's not too heavy on the 'stomach'. Each time I eat now, I eat small bits. It's trial and error, hoping I don't eat too much, because if I do, I'll feel sick in 30 minutes. Also trial and error with kinds of food. Very dependent on the person which foods you can have after, so right now I just need to try stuff without going too crazy. And if it doesn't work I'll feel it as well. Up til now, I've mostly been fine, but have been feeling kinda dizzy or hot all of sudden now and then. Might be a sign I didn't handle the food well, might be a sign I just wasn't feeling great. So this is the start of a long journey trying to figure out my body again. But for starters ,I'm doing amazing! There are also people who can't hold anything down and feel very sick all the time at the start, so I'm lucky in this aspect
Because I'm doing so good, they're letting me go home tomorrow 🥳 Dutch hospitals are generally VERY quick to discharge people home in comparison to other countries, so I'll still have a long way to go at home, but.. I can go home! Whoop whoop!
I still get the fluid food from a tube thats build straight to my intestines through my belly. In that way I can figure out food during the day without having to worry about losing TOO much weight. In general people still lose 10% of weight permanently regardless.

i've asked a couple of admins in COD4 but they said it was DUCK's to fix as it's a website thing.
