My ex boyfriend from 25 years ago who had recently reached out to me to idk reminisce, he said I was his longest friend, but he messaged me last night and tells me leaving Michigan away from me was the worst decision he ever made, he never stopped loving me, and some pretty intense feelings and than I get a fb voice note from his brother today that he hung himself. His brother is deaf and I was not sure that's what I heard but when I called his brother he said my brother hung himself last night at midnight. I asked he was at hospital and he said thst he was dead. I can't function or describe what I feel and the family omg I'm lost for words. My heart physically hurts, I cried to my mom on the phone for the past hour.

I am feeling glad that this forum is not defunct. Thank you, @TronRP!

I am definitely going to have to move closer to work because the drive killed me. I'm excited for the stock options, though!!

Thinking I'd really like to visit the D somehow, on my upcoming trip to Hell, I mean, Indiana, this coming week/weekend. Unfortunately, I don't think I can afford to. I have to keep my trip short due to the responsibilities of owning a ranch, and the fact that we can't depend on other people to do things properly. However, if somehow we can afford the gas and time, I will make every effort to head that way! Not very often I get East of the Mississippi, so if I can visit Detroit I'd sure love to. Oh well, we'll see!

Best of luck to you! You got this! 🤠👍

Job starts tomorrow. My nerves are on high alert.

My friend since age 4 and I want to go see Masters of The Universe. Nostalgia.

My degree came in the mail today. It really helped my mood improve.

So I should have posted this before I left so instead of what I'm about to do I'll just go over what I just did - The wife and I just officially hiked to the summit of Pike's Peak this last week! Wednesday-Friday to be specific. Took 3 days total, 2 going up and 1 going down. 13 miles one way, 26 miles round trip. https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g33537-d12713610-Reviews-Barr_Trail_to_Pikes_Peak-Manitou_Springs_El_Paso_County_Colorado.html It kicked our asses though, that's for sure! Not in the shape we used to be. Definitely want to tackle more, so we're starting to go for more hikes, and work our way back up to where we were just 10 years ago. Getting old sucks, but what sucks even worse? Getting passed going uphill to Pike's Peak, by 70 & 80 year olds. Seriously, I lost count of how many, obviously 65+ year olds actually passed us like we weren't even moving, on the way up the mountain. That's how I wanna be when (if) I get that age!

Maybe go to Planet Fuck This, I mean Planet Fitness. Oops. Need coffee.

I'm free! I'm done. I'm done. Masters degree complete✅️ 20 year goal but who's counting. Also, glad I got all my work in before this latest cyber attack on canvas.

New hair!!!

I'm about to go remind my cat, for the billionth time, that just because I happen to be on vacation and home right now, that Doesn't mean he's getting fed 600 times a day.

The older I get the less I can tolerate alcohol. Honestly I don't even drink anymore for this exact reason. Can't handle the hangovers anymore. Not worth it at all. I don't even remember the last time I had a sip of alcohol but it's been years! Smoke weed every day though 🤠👍

Feels like I fell off the face of the Earth for a couple of days there. But it felt good to see my father Friday. It feels so surreal seeing how I am just like him, not having grown up around him. But it's nice to know where I get so many of my traits from. Turns out, he was the party person in my parents relationship. And at 80, he still doesn't know how to slow down. Feels like I'm looking at where I'm headed in the future me...😆

Warning***I look like the product of if an elf and a cabbage patch doll had a threesome with Cupid. Still fun times. https://www.facebook.com/share/v/18KYuAaBSG/

Watching my cat, bat a clothes hanger down the hall 🤣

Shit sleeps ? I thought it all it did was stink .

Thinking about how many times it'll take for a person to land this insult correctly. I don't think it gives the sting one would hope for💀💀

After I got the site working again, I mentioned that this version will no longer be supported in the near future as Invision is upgrading to version 5. We are currently on version 4 as it was the quickest way to get the forum back after we lost it the beginning of July to GoDaddy due to non access and the site being lock in their system account by Troy. My idea moving forward was to change things up a bit as this is basically my ballgame. In the past, there have been a lot of concern about adding a chat feature to the site due to how quick people can get into heated discussions, but I was wondering, since there are already Discords out there for DGN groups, wouldn't that be a place for that type of interaction in conjunction to access to the forum. Of course, if someone accesses it through this site, they would have to enter as a legitimate member. My other thought was to have store links added to the forum since the hosting site actually offers SSL certification. Members with items to sell would be able to link their store through the main forum front page that will be available to public traffic. They would also have the option of members only sales which would only be accessibly in the members section of the site. Also, having the SSL certification will allow for the public version of the forum to host links of outside seller sites which would also create seller/buyer hub traffic. The Invision software package allows for "Clubs" inside the forum. The Club creator would take on the roll of MOD to the Club they create with permissions bestowed by admin. That would be another way to have more streamline discussions among like minded individuals while still being within the forum community as a whole. Essentially, I was thinking of being the main presence of the new version of the forum. Prior to COVID, I would plan personal outings to visit as many offsite members as I could reach, just to say "Hi". It was actually fun. The furthest we made it, however, was Adrian, Michigan to visit Class-Punk. Others were around the Metro-Detroit area. Before things were shut down, we were planning a trip to Toledo, Ohio to visit sekhmet2002. Drive-wise, we made it up to Holly, Michigan for the Michigan Renaissance Festival. Later, I had read where a few ideas were being tossed around about having a DGN day at Ren-Fest. I would still be open to something like that if people were interested in going. There was also a post about Walk Around Detroit nights/events where you get dressed up and just hit the entertainment strip...was my understanding. That definitely sounded like fun as that was already something I did on my own...lol. Lastly, I was thinking about hosting/organizing various types of "Get Out & Mingle" events/outings like hired DJ venue events, Karaoke outings, Lounge meet ups and free location hangouts like Belle Isle, parks and other spaces open to the public. Since things are getting shaken up anyway, I figure why not go all out. I'm currently using a website building tutorial, that came with the site security account, to learn how to add dimensions to the community forum to enhance user experiences. If I get this right, TDGN might share some Facebook-like qualities and more. I didn't want to limit the site to only being a message board. I'm thinking more along the lines of an interactive virtual community forum with a real world presence. ~~~~~ Therefore: New forum layout New software upgrades New platform for public and member additions Varying in-person interactions Redefined internet footprint Although, this is my vision of things, they are not set in stone. Ok, so, thoughts?

Thank you! I just finished it. It went fabulously. The program manager was amazing and wants me onboard. Really amazing dude, interview was chill more like a conversation.

~~~~~ Their birth mother is very petite and, when they were little, they were like little Tamarins when we would run around and play. Me, being from the generation of a certain era, I nicknamed them "Little Monchichis" (official JPN spelling "Monchhichi"). However, as they started to get taller, "Little" fell off and they've been "Monchichis ever since.

Omg that is exciting! I hope it goes well. You've got this

I lost 65 pounds so far. First I got out of obesity range and I have 10 lbs to go to be considered normal, well not overweight. I'll never be normal and that's good-ish.

I just got the emails functioning again!!!

I'm now on vacation, and also sleepy.

Mostly, we're not sure if we're going to keep it and Snowbird to AZ in the Winter and come back to CO for the heat of the summer, but eventually I think we will live in AZ full time. For now the property in CO is always going up in value so the longer we hold onto it, the more it'll be worth, if we ever choose to sell. For now we have the option to stay at her cousin's and an option to buy a chunk of the 250 acres they bought. Our ranch in CO also needs a new well - a huge investment - so we're trying to decide if we want to fix the well at a cost of 50-100k, or just buy more land from her cousin. Either way will be good, though! Pretty much can't go wrong buying land, these days. Well, depending on the area of course, but out here, land just keeps going up in price, never down , so there's that.. Also it will take years to move our ranch, if we choose to move it all. I figure at least 3 or 4 of the biggest Penske truck loads, and that's conservative and if we broke everything down into pieces and packed the trucks like Tetris 🤣

I'm thinking I'm going to be moving to AZ, soon! Can't wait! I friggin' love it here! The heat doesn't bother me at all and the best part? NO SNOW!!! (S.N.O.W. - Shit No One Wants) Been staying in Bullhead City where the kids and grandkids live. Next, we're going to the wife's cousin's which is a ways North of Kingman, in the middle of nowhere, where we actually plan to move. I really like Bullhead. It's a nice little town. Not overcrowded like Colorado Springs has become, at all. Very light traffic, reasonable prices on everything, low taxes, etc. The river offers a lot to do, with a lot of beaches and campgrounds all around it. But yeah even though we've been over 110º-115º F just about every day, I can handle it! What I can't handle anymore, is snow and being cold. Just tired of it. Give me the desert over a blizzard any day!

~~~~~ Whenever I had an interview, I would be honest with the interviewer and actually say stuff like, "I talk a lot when I'm nervous", or I would ask if it was ok to speak candid during the interview or if I needed to stay professional. Then I would wait to see what direction the interaction would go in.

Being old is fine, but being old and feeling old, sucks big time.

My intern supervisor actually found a job they recently posted at the organization I'm at and she has recommended I apply so it made me feel great that she said that. It would be just like her position but at another location. I just don't know if I want to be a supervisor. I did apply though.

I remember when my goal weight was "Buffalo Bill would kidnap me size" and now that I am I'm wishing for normal psychopath would kidnap me size. Progress not perfection.

Have you ever had to stand up to someone who (in your opinion) is/was treating you bad ? If so, did you go through with it, or did you bite your tongue to keep the peace ? I went through with it, and may end up regretting it to some degree. But, one lesson I learned in life is, people will only treat you bad if you let them.

Bout to go to my friend's shop to fix my car (needs new head gasket). Should be nice, 80 degrees and sunny today in Co Springs so I'm kind of looking forward to it, as much as I hate turning wrenches anymore... Having wheels again wiill be even nicer! Wish me luck I don't run into any other issues and this head gasket replacement goes well!

Da doo do doom Da da doom doom doom da da da doom do do do doom...and some shit and stuff...holyyyyyy diverrrrrrr! Why? Earworms, why?

I do at least really like my professor she's awesome and running for office in her town somewhere in New York. She just published a book on homelessness. She's smart as hell and real, no bs, no sugar coating, and also hilarious.

One week and a couple days left of this term. New term starts Feb 23 and ends May and than I'm fucking done. I'll have my Master's degree! Long as they don't repo my car first, of course 🤞😂🤣😭

I am thinking about blowing this popsicle stand, and moving to England.

I am so in love with Karaoke at Round 1, Great Lakes Crossing!!! Girl Monchichi been trying to get me out there for a while now and we finally managed to go midday on Friday. When you walk inside, I declare it's like Japan threw up a pastel rainbow of a Tokyo Night Club (what we call an Entertainment Center). All I know is that I'm hooked. And since it doesn't close until 2am, we didn't have to worry about rush hour traffic going and coming back. With regards to food and price, "Round 1" beats "168 Crab & Karaoke", hands down. It's all a matter of the length of the drive at this point. But it's doable if there are not appointment runs the next day.

Oh looky here, tis me

And yet, I was stuck looking at the box of pizza behind you.

~~~~~ I definitely feel you on this. If I hadn't been so annoying with badgering Troy if I could help with the behind the scenes literally a decade ago, there is no telling what this current future would've looked like. Time is forcing things to bring about a change, which can't be helped, but I will try to preserve what I can of his brainchild. AND...If I should ever make it out your way, trust me, I'll be bringing a boatload of White Castles. 😆

Y'all!!! Boy Monchichi is 20 years old today!!! 😆 ...no I don't feel old...cough cough

Just remember...keep breathing.

Getting ready to start on plans for "Project Overhaul" happening on the homestead. Everything will be either be revamped or repurposed. Yeah, I'm preparing a private retirement resort.

Thank you for helping me with my password @TronRP and thank you @et-novum for messaging her on here for me! You guys are the truth. (do the kids still say that) I kinda like it.
