It's amazing how watching a kid grow up can really slap you in the face with a sense of time. I was just looking at a video of one of the grandkids when she was about 3 or 4 and just the other day I was helping her enroll in college. No kidding! t's great watching them grow up, but man does it fly ...

Whoa, congrats! On the bright side, girls' insurance cost is much cheaper, and there is always Google Location Sharing to ease your mind, heh. Ask me how I know :rotfl: yes, the insurance cost was a lot less than I expected, thankfully. It was adding the 3rd vehicle to the policy that did all the d...

RIP Ken. I'm glad I had the pleasure of meeting you a few times. Nothing but fun times full of laughter and many great conversations both here on SG and in person. You will be missed.

Check out "the Enforcer" on YouTube. He goes live every night around 10pm ET and goes through all the daily videos which usually takes about 2hrs. This guy started tracking combat videos posted throughout social media of front line footage and has created a front line map and has made all ...

I treated Dogecoin like the joke that it is and only invested $10 in it. It's worth almost $50 now.

I had 3.4 BTC at some point in time... Sold them at a profit back when prices were in the $300 range lol :/ Then sold some fraction of one when price hit 15k.. Seems I always get out early heh. I do have a bit of ETH. I'm now up to holding about 18 different cryptocurrencies but ETH & BTC are m...

Back when the 2017 Q4 crypto-craze happened I considered getting into crypto mining, (after I finished crying for having a server room in my house back when BTC was born but instead thought folding@home was cooler and more productive) but then crypto tanked and so I thought, why not invest in compan...

No more gaming computer (although my office rig could prolly run it, with the nVidia Quadro card)

I'm running smooth with full detail and widescreen patch on a 9yr old Inspiron 660, core i5, with original built-in Intel HD graphics.

So apparently there is a small, but fairly active BF'42 community still rocking these days and the game is completely free now. Anyone down to jump into it here are the links you need: Download the game here: https://oldgamesdownload.com/battlefield-1942/ (the anthology 7-zip file is what you want) ...

I got the "one and done" J&J shot on Saturday morning. I walked right up and was given the shot with no wait time other than filling out a little information. Since I have allergies they made me sit for observation for 30 mins to make sure no side effects. I have felt no side effects a...

SSD those old computers and get 'em up to Win10! I second this! Are you trapped into some ancient LOB application that you can't upgrade? I highly recommend upgrading if you can. I've found that even my old Optiplex Core2 Duo desktop was able to upgrade to Windows 10 smoothly and still runs fine to...

Dang Matt...sorry to hear that! What's your skillset? Got advanced 365 skills? They're in very high demand and companies are still reorganizing to "work from home". And/or anticipating the worse 2nd round of 'vid this winter. Started a new job yesterday. I'm back in IT Consulting joining ...

Lost my job due to COVID this week. 5 yrs, 4 months, and 37 medical practices taken live on new software systems, migrations, and interfaces all over the US. Had a good run at it. Onto the next chapter! I haven't been this unemployed since I was 13 yrs old and mowing 4 neighborhood lawns on Sundays....

Finally starting to run out of work to do. Pay cut just came down today, but I should feel lucky my workload is down 80% and I'm probably only working about 10hrs a week right now but my pay cut is just 20%. With no more work on the horizon, Im not sure how long they will keep us on the payroll. In ...

Good to see some OG's checking in! When I joined, my wife and I had been married for 1 yr and had just moved into our first brand new home. Now my daughter is 13, my son is 4, and next February my wife and I will celebrate 20yrs of marriage. Cheers to you all as we ride out this damn virus! :beer: M...

man, reading that first page kinda hits home a little... good times though. If there was any interest in putting together a Florida SG reunion party some time with those of us down here or those that can make it, I would be down for that.. I think we would at least have 5 of us we could try to link ...

Hey guys, I have an awkward situation with my lawn service company that I thought I would share with you guys and get some feedback. Although public, this is better than facebook for this type of thing.. lol Anyways, we hired a lawn service company in June 2017. I called them due to good ratings on ...

We were ok as well. No structural damage, just some fence repairs and screen repairs needed. Lost power Sunday around 5pm.. got power back on Tuesday night around 9pm.

I used to work for a company owned by a not so awesome former celebrity who mingled with other lower tier celebrities and therefore I've met a few just by being called up to the big bosses office to help with a tech issue here and there. It would often be something as simple as helping a certain up ...

Cheers Matt! :) Nice to see you around, how's life treatin ya? Life is pretty good. :cool: Working my tail off and raising 2 kids sure does seem to make time fly even faster than it used to.

My Windows XP laptop (circa 2006) is still running great. SSD, maxed out RAM, this old centrino is rockin'! Why replace it!? Just gotta keep the duct tape secured to keep the display from plopping over as well as the electrical tape on the end of the power adapter so it stays plugged in. Only issue ...

My son will be born any day now. Wifey is 4cm dilated and ready to get on with it. :) Daughter is 8, going on 13. She hits a mean tennis ball, can shred a sick "Old Joe Clark" on the fiddle, and in 3rd grade, she is taller than most 5th grade girls at her school. I've been working from hom...

wow.. Not the type of news I like to read on my occasional drive-by visit to SG. This news takes the wind out of my sail tonight and I am deeply saddened.

It's fun to scroll through here and see these threads that dig up old memories. I met several members in person and had some really fun times during my more active SG years.

I think the missing baby is with the girls that escaped and when they finally show what happened to them, we will see that they somehow linked up with Carol and Carol will end up protecting and taking care of the them and the baby so when they finally bump into Rick, Carol will have her way back int...

Thanks for the posts, this is what I was hoping for...not just what you do but what your job consists of and what makes it interesting. koldchillah, what discs do you throw?

SG is also the first forum I ever joined and has a majority of my internet posts by a long shot. Probably more posts here than wall posts on my fb page.

Hi Immy! Hope all is well! I wish I still had time for gaming these days! Actually I probably do, but as soon as I finish doing everything I have to do with technology for the day (aka work), I go outside and play disc golf just about every chance I get. I can't stand sitting at my computer anymore ...
