    Izumi reacted to PHUCKITMAN in Please send some Positive Vibes my wife's way today   
    My Wife developed atrial fibrillation this past summer and has been trying several ways to get her life back to normal. Lifestyle and diet changes and medications galore but she is still struggling from the serious fatigue that can come from this. Very early this morning I took her to the Hospital for her Ablation procedure. I can't stay with her during this since it is a out-patient procedure they will do today. She will be put under and have a "minor" invasive procedure while she is out on her Heart to laser the area that is short circuiting and kill those cells. This allows the Heart to rewire itself and get back to normal rhythm/beating and normal blood flow. But I am hoping for some XI love towards her because anytime they put you under it is Major and she is my much better half and my ride or die partner in crime. Thanks in advance for everyone's good vibrations for her quick recovery.

    Izumi reacted to Ruggerxi in Hacking accusations need to stop or bans will be the next step   
    The servers have been getting very busy lately which is a good thing, but with that also comes more whining and complaining and more hacking accusations. 
    The hacking accusations have gotten so bad lately that we have to start taking action against the repeat accusers. These people will get a warning to start and then temp bans will start. If that doesn't work then you will be banned from the server. 
    It's very easy to get proof, go to spectate, record the player. However you want to do it, but the most easy way to do it is this 
    Bring down your console and type:
    /record (demo's will be named demo00000.dm_1, demo000001.dm_1 etc etc.)
    To stop the record, type:
    /stoprecord
    Get the demo file and send it to an admin, they look at it and see the hacking being done and they ban the player. 
    It's so easy to do, instead of going in game everyday and accusing the same players everyday and whine they're not banned yet, just get the video and they're banned. Very very simple. So instead of possibly getting banned from the greatest servers on the planet, just get the video. 
    If you spectate the person and can't see their hacking then you should go into the server after and say I spectated them and they are not hacking.

    Cool Change.mp4 Last night the marina where we keep our boat hosted a Christmas decorating competition.  My wife and I busted our butts trying to get our boat Cool Change onto the leader board.  But holy cow were we wrong.  We didn't even get a mention!  Some of theses people went all out in their decorations.  The winning boat (which I do not have a photo of) had a 'Polar Express' theme, with a train on the boat and showing the movie.  It was legit!  I used a Light-o-rama on Cool Change to keep the music and lights sequenced.  We love how it turned out!  The video has Super Mario Brothers music in the background because I was standing close to a boat with that theme....the lights are not sequenced to that music.  You just can't here ours because the sound was coming out of the back of the boat away from me.  Tons of fun!

    Izumi reacted to WeednFeed in Why has WeednFeed Not Been Around?   
    Hello everyone, some of you know what's been going on with my parents. I'll try and keep this short. Mom and dad are 87 and 90. Dad will be 91 in August mom 88 in September.
    in April mom had critical loss of blood circulation in her left leg. If you've never seen someone's legs dying it's a nasty looking and painful thing.  She was faced with the real possibility of amputation. Luckily her medical providers were able to surgically improve her circulation to the point her feet are slowly healing and the pain has improved.
    As you know my dad has a multitude of health issues. Congestive heart failure, dialysis 3 times a week, broke his hip twice. Sadly in May he started having sores on his legs and was being in the home by Extramural care. Finally we had to call an ambulance and have him taken to Emergency. He was diagnosed with Critical loss of blood circulation in his right leg and LIVER CANCER involving 1/3 of his liver.
    At 90 there was great debate in the hospital about treating a 90 year old man with so many conditions of which anyone of them could kill him at any moment. You see my dad is a very intelligent and mentally functioning man. He still pays his bills on line with an iPad. The medical staff are all amazed at how sharp of mind he is.
    They performed the same procedure on his right leg as they did for my mother. He now has improved blood flow in his lower legs reducing the pain and starting the healing.
    Dad, my 2 bothers and I had a meeting with the Oncologist regarding the Liver Cancer. He was a great Doctor and explained everything in a gentle way to all of us. He made it a point to say he questioned the wisdom of the other Doctors in treating Dad's circulation but he said after he met dad and interviewed he now agrees with their decision. 
    Unfortunately Dad's Liver Cancer is not treatable as his age and multitude of medical issue would just make him suffer and not accomplish any improvement. The Oncologist mentioned dad's options will be Palliative or Hospice care when the time comes. He is currently in the hospital.
    Dad has made great improvement in the last week as always he continues to shock his Doctors. This morning the Unit Doctor told us Dad is not ready for Palliative! They are going to heal the sores on his legs and get him ready for a nursing home. He is one fighter.
    On July 1st Mom and Dad celebrated their 69th wedding Anniversary in the Dialysis department in the hospital.
    Sorry this is so long.
    Remember if you have someone in your life you love you better tell them.
    So I love you all....................in a family way!

    Izumi reacted to PainKiller in Theory NO MORE!   
    I think the republicans are a brainwashed cult of complete lunacy and childish ineptitude, but that's just me. You should see what most of the republican politicians say on Twitter, its a goldmine of bullshit and entertainment, and a LOT of political extremists. That stupid march they all did last year on a political building was nothing short of a terror attack. Extremism doesn't have to be religious, or from external sources like the Middle East (which we had NO right to be in). Your biggest enemy is the one from within. I will say, that Republican supporters/cultists cry over spilt milk, and try to make everything swing their way, and act like complete children. Very quick to blame someone else, and make a big song and dance about it.  
    The tough thing is, that people will believe what they want to believe, and when you have been exposed to a certain way of thinking for such a long time, you get conditioned to believe that's what is right; someone's political agenda fits what you would like, and what you believe should be right; but it doesn't mean it IS right. 
    Though, this is someone from another country with their own shitty government, watching yours fall apart at the seams. You're all welcome to believe what you wanna believe, and I believe your entire country is fucked, and shit out of luck. Just like ours!  
    Not to cause problems or offense but your government, much like mine, is ran by people too old and out of touch and very much in a class division to understand what the country needs. Don't give me the tripe of "they're older and more experienced." Our Tory party is such an out of touch, money grabbing and toxic scum sucking group that have no idea what is right for this place. As long as they line their pockets, its okay right? The older generation are a lot less accepting of change and new ideas, and want things how they were, not what they are or may be. Where as my generation, and the ones that follow are more accepting and open, championing inclusivity. Though saying that, we have our share of people that take it wayyy to far and make it all about them, and think that everything said against them is a personal attack and play the victim card. Those people piss me the hell off. 
     
    Though, what can I say, I am an outsider looking in, and its different when you're in the situation!
