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.

Happy Birthday Maz, many more to come!

Playing WAW dm3 the other day, I think the map name is LeTourneau. Was trying to figure out how Striker gets on a roof & I fell behind a wall. Ran around trying to get back, no luck. Holly61 was hiding behind a wall, picking people off, & I couldn't resist planting a sticky nade on him. Waited in plain view for him to come back & kill me (which he did), but he was pissed. Rightfully so, I was in the wrong. Still feel guilty, I should've just went to spectate & rejoined. Sorry Holly, Es tut mir leid!

That's a great story LilMord, hold on to it because I can tell you from experience you'll remember these days for the rest of your life.  You speak about how you've have come out of your shell playing COD and interacting with other members. I have a similar story as well but in a different time. My spelling was so bad I couldn't spell to save my life in high school. The more I thought about a word the more I miss spelled it. Being super dyslexic and a bit stupid mixed I was able to make sense but it was not pretty at all for any Grammar Nazi. Anyway I was super shy about it and I'd call into BBS's at the time in the Mid 80's 15-19 years and I would explain to the Forum, "I can't spell but I have some questions I'd like to ask" and they were all so welcoming, understating and super helpful. They were my source for information I was looking for. It literally brought me out of my shell making me into the menace to forums I am today.

Good stuff, cool to hear a story like yours. You'll be a different thinking person in 10 years and even more differently in thinking in 20 years, but deep down you'll still be that guy at age 15-16 who just thinks differently. It stays with you for the rest of your life. Good luck in life.
