Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers, Mule.....

That's awesome FUNky, @ANGU5, is going to love it!

Thank you

Hope you had a wonderful birthday, Overkill!

I'm thinking it was Sally?

Server crashed several times within the last 30 minutes or so. Was on map mp_burgundy_bulls and crashed @ 15:18. Map mp_inferno played just fine. Then map mp_backlotair_b1 came up and crashed at 16:07, followed by map mp_construction2 that crashed @16:10. Currently, map mp_gridiron_night appears to be playing without issue. @dadda2

Welcome to our forums, Captain Dave......take a look around, and enjoy!

Hope you had a wonderful birthday, Dark!

Thanks, Pimp......that's very sweet of you

That is SO freakin' awesome, Stormy! My heart was racing for ya the whole time I watched that!

Usually, they make a comment about not liking the map before they leave. If several do, and then more than one member asks to skip, it's time to call a vote for the majority to decide.

@dadda2, map mp_forest_houses_v2 is the one that keeps messing with everyone's ping and timing them out.

It appears that the server has been restarted because I see the new rotation is being played. However, the server has crashed now about 7 times in the last 10 minutes. First crashed on map mp_rd3. It was then trying to load map mp_modern_mice and crashed a few times, went back to mp_rd3. Crashed again and tried loading map mp_mtl_havoc but did the same thing. It is now playing map mp_fr_street, and so far, there are no issues. @dadda2 @Sammy

Yep.....that about sums it all up

Still need a sponsor, but only 20 posts and no longer have a minimum hour requirement

Welcome to our forums, Oreo! Take a look around, make or comment on some posts, and get to know us......see you in game!

So, here's another great idea for having money for your trip to Nashville, or whatever else you want to save up for..... If you feel the same way I do......life is about experiences and memories, not stuff. So, go through your stuff, and the stuff you don't use or don't need or don't want - SELL IT! With so many great apps out there now, you no longer have to go through the hassle and time of holding a garage sale. There's places like eBay or Facebook garage sale groups for starters. On Facebook, just type in your local city or county with the words "garage sale" after it, and you should be able to join that group and post whatever it is you have for sale. Make sure you are mindful of the group's rules, since each group will differ in what it allows or doesn't allow. You list what you're selling and how much you want for it, and then make arrangements with the person that wants your stuff. If you are tech savvy and like to do things on your phone, then there's OfferUp and letgo, just to name a couple. You make a quick post about what you're selling, and then just sit back and wait for someone to be interested in your stuff I've had quite a bit of success myself selling household items, shoes, clothing, and even office-related surpluses of file cabinets or chairs, etc. It may not seem like much, but $10 here and $25 there, and another $15 on FB, and soon you have $50 in your pocket and less stuff to dust around or take with you every time you move And, ideas like this are "found" money, so it's not coming out of your pocket to save it. You've already spent the money on the stuff, and by getting rid of said stuff, you have more money to toss into that dedicated vacation account that you don't have a debit card for so that you can't withdraw money for no good reason Getting rid of $50 of stuff per month for 5 months gives you another $250 toward your $1,000 budget. Selling your stuff and collecting change could net you close to $500 by the time September rolls around.........are you starting to see the possibilities yet when it comes to wanted $ for something you really want?

Love their harmony..........

@Bogleg, that's awesome! And yes, @wildthing, if someone owns a business, it's awesome because there are ways to make the whole trip a legal tax deduction, but I'm not going to give tax advice here on the public forums. If anyone is interested, however, in learning how any trip can be turned into a business deduction, then please message me privately

So, one of my first ideas is to create a change jar and add your spare change to it whenever you have any. Instead of giving exact change when making purchases, let yourself get change back from the extra dollar you pay with, and toss that into your jar. You can even decorate the jar with a pic or two of your destination, or whatever it is you want to save up money for. It may sound too simplistic and maybe even a bit corny to some, but it really adds up over time. I made a Vegas jar for what I wanted to bring for my gambling money.....not a high roller by any stretch, but thought it would be fun to save up all my change for it. I used a 2 lb Folger's can and tossed everything in there, even a couple of singles from time to time. Well, the singles usually got pilfered for pizza delivery tips (another idea I'll talk about later) and sometimes the quarters got extracted for laundry when I was living in an apartment complex. Even still, that can added up to over $250, even after the coin machine took its cut! Not bad for loose change.....and you can have even more of it "in your pocket" so to speak, if you roll it yourself, or have one of your kids do it for you. Let them keep a roll of quarters, dimes, and nickels for their effort, and they'll think they've won the jackpot If $1,000 was your budget, 25% of the money you'll need is right in that jar! Not all of these ideas will be ideal for everyone, but it's all just a lesson in possibility thinking.......what can you do when you set your mind to something. How creative can you be, and still not be breaking any laws? Further tips & tricks to soon follow.....

Hope you had a great birthday, billy!

Oh geez, @Sitting-Duc, I'll buy you a beer in Nashville.... will that help your budget issues?
