Here’s Red!

I am in the same boat as Lanier, except I am a step-dad in a unique situation. I call him mine simply because I feel so close to him, but I understand that might come off weird to others. Anyways, my 4 year old son has been a joy to help raise. I initially came into his life when he was around 8 months old. I didn't know if I could do it, and I truly love his mom (my fiancé now) so I wanted to try my best. A lot of people close to me wanted me to be cautious and take things slow, but that is just not me. I love pretty hard, so I gave both of them my all, like I still do today.

 

He is starting pre-school in 2 weeks and I am going to miss all the time we get to spend together while I work from home. I truly love his joyfulness, and I love seeing how much he has progressed in his speech, writing, and manners. He has also helped me grow into this role, and he is quite the teacher of lessons when it comes to patience. This fall will also be time to get him into soccer, and I can't wait to watch him fall in love (hopefully) with the sport I played my whole childhood and adult life. 

 

I don't think I am a typical step-dad or if that even exists, but I love the kid and wouldn't trade my family for anything. 

I think this is admiralable. 10 points for Gryffindor.

I don't know how I missed this thread. Great topic.

Like McDowell's thoughts about the MRB, I am very proud of what we have been able to accomplish in Day of Defeat Source with the 8th ID. I think we have built an amazing comunity that has the foundations to survive even after DODS finally kicks the bucket.

Personally, I think the thing I am most proud of is my son. Any accolade or accomplishment I've earned in life has been easily overshadowed by this kid. Watching him grow and getting to teach him about life will be my crowning achievement. Everything that I thought made me who I am all changed when he came around. Even I am only ever known for being Cayden's dad for the rest of my life and after, I will consider that a life well lived.

i love how Sasaki hasn't changed the weather widget from the default Cupertino.

Here’s the iPad.

For some strange reason, I’m always interested in seeing how people customize their homescreens on their phone.

He, like David Crockett, made the right decision to migrate to Texas.

False

This we can agree upon.

I knew you'd say this, seeing as how every southern state wishes they could be Florida and tries to copy us. Where does fear live though? That's your issue. Texas auto-fails. 😎

Everyone in Texas lives in fear....fear of more people from california coming.

Florida is the superior state. Reasons: 

• alligators
• crocs (the shoe kind) 
• manatees
• mullets
• humidity 
• hilariously tall lifted diesel trucks blasting Lynyrd Skynyrd 
• rogue fire ants 
• insanely aggressive water moccasins 
• out of control iguana population 
• bath salts 
• meth 
• theme parks run by morally questionable companies 
• bikinis (lots of bikinis) 
• ocean everywhere (hence the bikinis) 
• god tier seafood 
• fear lives here

 

You realize we have a good bit of this list too.

and we also have a waffle in the shape of our state.

I tried.

Looks like the 4080 will be released in October. I am gonna wait until then bc either I buy a 40 series or there will be a ton of 3080's on the market from people upgrading I bet I could buy an used one for cheap at that time.

Smart idea. I had to pull the plug early on one. I am sick of the AMD drivers crashing on me and a friend of mine things I have a bad memory module. Seems its gotten worse over the last month. I am supposed to be able to pick it up on Tuesday.

I'm also watching prices. I'm actually looking at a 3070.

Klop is right on! We do try and keep our calendar on our forums as updated as possible, but if you have discord that's the place to go where you're going to get all the announcements about things we're up to. Sometimes we do a pick up game of 12man or realism on days outside of our normal. But these three days mentioned by Klop are always happening.

Simple, elegant, and still themed. I love it. Good job, you number crunchers!
