Power! reacted to Ruggerxi in An unexpected gift I received that brought tears to my eyes
For those who don’t know, my father passed away in June. We were very very close and spent multiple days together every week, especially after my mother passed about 6 years ago. It’s been incredibly difficult these past few months. A few things happened the day he passed and it’s really mentally has taken a huge toll on me.
This Fest was so nice because I was able to see my 2nd family and just enjoy the company and not have my mind wondering back to certain things. It really helped knowing those people are there for me no matter what.
Then to show what kinda love and support I have from this awesome family. I opened my mailbox today to find this, that
@BlackRose
@WldPenguin
@loaderXI
And Blackroses husband made for me
Thank you all for this
I sent it to my family members and they all loved it!
It’s amazing the family bond we have here
Thank you so much for this 🙏🙏🙏

Power! reacted to iboomboom in LG fucking korean bullshit cheap garbage!!!!
I don't know, I have had good experience with LG products. I have an OLED TV, Washer Dryer tower they seem to work well. In the US at least, I don't know of other brands that fair well in terms of features and finish. I would absolutely purchase extended warranty. I got my appliances through Costco so at least I get an extra year of warranty. The whole 1 year warranty is Apple inspired bullshit. I miss the days when 3 yr warranty was standard. F'ing Apple with their yearly release cycle.

Power! reacted to WldPenguin in Funsticks Update
I did talk to Funstick earlier today - he sounded in good spirits, and he has a very positive attitude. He said to say hello to everyone, and hopefully he's going to make an appearance during this evening's Happy Hour.

Power! reacted to babyback in Funsticks Update
I wanted to share an update about our friend Funsticks. I spoke to him yesterday to check on his health, and unfortunately, he's not doing too well. He has some follow-up appointments scheduled for this coming Tuesday.
Funsticks asked me to pass along a message to all of you as well. He wanted me to let you all know that him and I will tag-team you fkrs in the F'tag soon, but before that, he could really use our prayers.
Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers for a successful and speedy recovery.

ps: I told him about Midg3t getting the mod tag and boy he's pissed like real fuking mad mad.
