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!

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 🤠👍

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’ve thought about this post for a while now. I can’t even begin to remember the last time I talked to him. But it was probably some super in depth discussion about BSG. We had those often. That being said, there is no doubt the shaping of my life by this board - the absolute phenomenal 20 year friendships I have, solid memories and the lesson’s learned. Without this safe space I would not have made it my first year in Michigan. I would not have made it post bullshit. I probably would not have made it through nursing school. Many of the close friendships made here still surround my holiday tables. They still involve late night conversations, bad movies, decent cocktails, love my children like their own, and are some of the most loving and supportive people I have the pleasure of having in my inter circle. Community is not the word- family is. There is a need for safe spaces like this more than ever. Thank you for keeping it up and running. It’s good to know it’s still here to look back on.. and for others that may presently need it, as a safe haven.

Yea I think I'm becoming intolerant to drinking and smoking cigs which is a good thing. Weed, I could handle when I was young but not as an adult. My mom and brothers can't tolerate it either. I was a stoner in my teens, though. Smoked myself sober. Lol

~~~~~ I love it!!!

Singing karaoke with Tron.

I was having a moment. I just need a new style. Long, no short. I'd probably cry.

~~~~~ NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

~~~~~ Thank you for that. I've always heard people talk about using Linux, but I never new how that worked or even what exactly it meant, so I never really discussed it. However, dealing with the software needed to run the VPS I had for a minute, a lot of things are making more sense to me now. This will definitely be explored.

~~~~~ People here taught me that nutcases are going to have their own opinion. It's up to you whether or not to lose time on it. That said. We MUST do Karaoke at Round One in Great Lakes Crossing. Girl Monchichi has me HOOOOOKED!!!!!

My daughter got us Evanescence tickets for Xmas! She wants to spend time with her mom and I love that.

Ok now I know I am missing something with the post Scary Guy made about CC in "The Departed" - what's going on with the Leland and CC??! Damn it I must google now 🤣 Ohhh man ok I read about the owner passing and stuff. That really sucks. I truly hope whoever buys it does so with only the best intentions of preservation. That building is epic. I never did stay there, which is something I think I will now regret for the rest of my life. I always wanted to just get a room there for convenience but I always let people talk me out of it. People always said "you don't want to stay there" and maybe they were right, but still. I think the one time I actually tried to get a room there they (front desk) acted like they didn't want my business. And it was like twice the price of a room at one of the airport hotels which was omw home anyway, so I usually stayed somewhere near the airport, if I got a room at all. But yeah that building has a life of it's own. I will never forget my very first time driving to Detroit to go to the fabled CC. I was awe-struck by the architecture in Detroit to begin with, and then when I saw the building CC was in (Ramada at that time) I *knew* this was going to be good! I really enjoyed the NYE events where they opened up the place and let us roam about the halls and stairwells and go to the Lab and 54. I remember kicking myself in the ass for not bringing a camera to take pictures of all the neat stuff they had. Yeah, I just hope the building survives whatever outcome. I hate modern architecture. These old buildings *must* be preserved!

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

Sometimes I wish I were a bit more Social Media savvy. We got targeted by a group of school kids, yesterday afternoon, who decided to bang on the front door and almost gave @Trene4000 a heart attack. I was literally out the door in a couple of seconds to watch them all scatter like insects, but it upset me so bad that I was yelling down the street after them, like a maniac, standing in a half inch of snow with no shoes on. The idiot didn't realize we have a surveillance camera and thought he was being sneaky after the smallest kid in their group appeared to challenge him, the tallest kid in the group, to do the deed. They had actually past our house and the little one called them back and they all when with it. I just want to smash the internet with that footage of all those kids following the one kid to do something stupid because they didn't think they would get caught.

I just want everyone to know the truth

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

I miss the lack of need for subscriptions and the art curriculum in schools. No real emotional outlets growing up, and now you have to pay for everything. Let me watch my favorite shows in peace Disney!😭😭and why are all the cool art theme classes out of the city and so much money🥲 and why does no one wave anymore to simply say hi, and what is up with the lack of good workers in the hospitality field, I'm doing everyone's shift😭with little pay that goes towards Netflix, and Netflix can't even keep the good shows (some of the movies are good though) and ahhhhh.... Anyway, that's my vent coming back to the board.

Those pizzas were insanely huge! We bought that one for a birthday party, but that same pizza place had a challenge where you had to eat that pizza between 2 people and under 3 hours. If you ate it all, you won 100 bucks and got your name/photo on the wall. If not, you're out 45 bucks for the pizza. It was an 8 lb pizza *cooked* and they made sure it was 8lbs! I tried the challenge shortly after this picture was taken with a friend, but he couldn't do it, we nearly did it though! Oh man it makes my stomach hurt just remembering that! 🤣 I'm pretty sure I didn't eat any pizza for a solid year after that one! I think I still have some cheese from that pizza stuck in me somewhere 🤣

~~~~~ 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. 😆

So few of us left! I'm just glad it's still around in some shape or form!

The delete button and I have are well acquinted.

Just remember...keep breathing.

~~~~~ Yeah, because I had to read that again...lol

Do do do, do-do-dooo do da do

How on earth do you clean up meatballs and rice with spaghetti sauce off the floor while battling a 10 lb, 3ft tall, pizza loving Flame Point Siamese and a 20 lb Siberian Forest Cat who loves to hide food under butt just to be difficult? 😮‍💨

Have a truly glorious World Goth Day, my little batties! 🌹

There is definitely a certain level of apathy that comes with age. Where once life was just so dramatic, you discover, it's just not that deep.

So, this is what 50 feels like ? meh..

Doritos with cream cheese!

About to get ready to chauffeur to Berkley.

The past month and a half I have been dealing with new chronic back pain and the muscle relaxant pills the doctor gave me have been putting me to sleep at work and I've been so drowsy with them. Weed has helped a little but I can't just smoke weed all the time. So I decided to try some CBD pills I picked up this little bottle after a few questions in the store after a few days this week It has made a great noticeable difference on my back. I don't feel very much pain anymore as im moving around work running around from my workbench to the polishing wheels and so on. I think we should put more funding and research on using CBD for low level pain medication and not opium

I feel like I've been going about things all wrong. I've been so busy trying to live for other people (and those who are no longer with us) that I lost sight of just being me and doing my thing. This thought feels liberating, but putting it into practice feels easier said than done. It's hard to not feel guilty about thinking about myself although that's were personal care and positive mental health grows from. It feels like if I can work on being true to my needs, I will be unstoppable...in a positive manner.

Happy Birthday

My hips are hippin' in these Shein pants. Maybe I should get a pair in every color 🤣
