Man, that's horrible to hear about Ali. Anyway, I'm still around! 35 now, married, home ownership, cushy system engineer job where it's 80% linux. Edit because I forgot, but: I've also lost about 220lb!
Over 20 years later, I've seen teeny boppers become full fledged adults. What a privelege. Great to hear from all the old timers.
The wife is steadily going downhill. Between taking care of her and my aging parent and step dad, I barely have time for work. I'm only working part time and even that gets in the way of taking care of the people I have to tend to. (not to mention 4 cats) Health wise......my abused 62 year old body is doing as well as can be expected.
Hi all. Been awhile since I popped in. Bummed to hear about Mr Ali I've been well enough, although I did get hit by a truck literally the day after graduating from college a couple years back which has kinda resulted in a weird snowball effect of health problems and has kept me out of work (and heavily in debt). But other than that I've been playing a lot of drums and been experimenting with patinas and making clocks out of old cymbals. Life could certainly be worse.
I feel you. My Mom is going downhill as well. Just yesterday one of her teeth just came out of her mouth; there wasn't enough bone left to support it. She's had two falls in the bathroom, so basically I assist every time she has to get up and move anywhere. She's spending most of her time either asleep or in pain.
I never thought I'd be the type to reminisce about the 'good 'ol days"......but damn! It's about all that's left when you're isolated/sheltering in place.
I would like to official *bump*. I randomly thought about the site today, after like... years of not thinking about it?? Second marriage, 4 years in; I'm 36. No kids but I have an awesome dog, named Pickles. I work for a bank in its marketing department -- but thankfully employed Trump is crazy. Please vote him out. Very sad to hear about Ali I haven't overclocked a computer in like, 20 years. But I came here first to talk about PCs and stuff as a teenager I discovered last year that i really really love chess. find me at chess.com @ JamesH1984 My other favorite hobby is table top RPGs: D&D, Deadlands, Star Wars RPG. bunch of nerdy stuff Hilarious that I recognized a lot of the old names and avatars. Definitely takes me back! Stay safe out there, folks!
