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!

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!!!

Sometimes sleep can be a scary thing. I passed out so hard at 4:54pm today. Yesterday wiped me out with rentals, appointments and helping a lost dog get back home. Fortunately, I found him on Facebook and contacted the owners and he was picked up before nightfall. But I think I totally overdid it and paid for it today in the middle of handling business. Thankfully it was some work at home stuff. I definitely do not like being that kind of tired. It's like the World could end and I'd wake up afterwards trying to find out what happened.

Thank you for the compliment! I used to love her when I was younger, too. I can see it now and my older sisters in Cincinnati kinda has that same face, too. I never heard that but in the past I have gotten Sara Rue, Julia Stiles, and Drew but only because my odd heart/ square shaped face.

Lol. It's the resting bitch face. All us Aries have it.

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?

~~~~~ Wait...you're not supposed to eat the whole box in one setting?!?

~~~~~ Girl Scout Cookie time. Would you like me to get you a couple of boxes. Makes things better.

Yay!! It's your birthday 🎂 🥳 🎂🥳🥳 I hope your day is amazing!!!

omg i'm late. Happy birthday! thanks for everything you do

~~~~~ Just let me know if you need anything.

Can't wait!! Yay!!

I had so much fun last night with the best people 💓

What up, doe?

~~~~~ Just remember to inhale at regular intervals.

~~~~~ Ok, now I've go "Bad Romance" stuck in my head...🤣

Need more coffee!!!

I want one.

~~~~~ I'm not sure if you got the wrong idea from my suggestions, but I have no intention of changing the members area of this forum which is why I spent so much time trying to find software that will keep the features we are used to. We are going to lose this current format regardless of what is or is not done. Members here have already created cliques, blocked other members and only communicate with members they "like". The SSL is because at least 5 members create and currently sell their goods in other locations. So why can't their own "community" back them instead? DGN got a ban against it a little over a decade ago because the site was promoting seller sites without permission. I do not intend to make the same mistake in any shape form or fashion. I keep hearing about people wanting to breathe life back into things, well, it definitely has to start somewhere regardless of if it's something that stands the test of time or not. I'm only interested in self-hosting which is why I test out software packages to determine if it is a fit or not. Unfortunately, that is a time consuming process to test everything it has to offer, so I don't enter into something like that lightly. My goal is to create an environment that people will want to hang around in without compromising what we stand for.

Ok I heard back from him, as a man of few words he just simply said, "Xenforo offers a demo" 🤣 so I reckon we should start there!

Just came home from a wedding, checking out pix.

This is 100 percent accurate as to my view in life. The little things mean a lot and building that support system and reason to hold on sometimes is all we can do. Also, I appreciate your offer to talk. You are a good, logical person to talk with. I appreciate your friendship. Thank you. Hey next time you guys get ice cream Clark's is right by 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. 😆

Just remember...keep breathing.

But are you Laughing too ? Since you ate laffy taffy…😂

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.

I'm very glad to see DGN is back

We had a quiz game today for my three day web skills lab social work conference. We had to come up with a name for our team, I said the anti -social workers. My team mates were not amused with my "dark humor" in a field that is dark in itself. I thought that get the irony and play on words but 👎
