    Life knocked me out pretty good..

    Hello there,

    I am not sure if I posted this in the rigth section. Itīs been a long time since my last check in here.

    Just wanted to post that Iīm still alive and kicking. But not chrunching. Doubt that I can return. My computer these days is barely capable of surfing the web.


    Back in the days, I where very active both in crunching and on the boards. At least I can still participate here...

    Life had me knocked out pretty good there for a while. Got fired. I am now diagnosed with Diabetes and my parents died just within week of each other.

    Have a great day.

    Whether you crunch or not, it's always good to have old friends back.

    That sucks out loud! Sorry for your loss.

    If a computer of some sort happened to show up, would you be interested in crunching?

    One always have the itch rigth? Crunching has been huge part of my life, and I always enjoyed it with my small time donation for the good cause.

    Well, I have a case and some sort of Asrock board I know that works. Pretty sure I have a 3-400W PSU as my son upgraded his last year. (heīs moved from my house. Studying near by. Wantīs to be some sort of IT supporter)

    So that means I have to dig up a CPU, some memory sticks and a harddrive to be in business.


    I did get a new job though. Itīs just like 35 miles from home (thatīs a pretty good distance in Denmark, since we are not used to long distances) so I bougth a car with the help from my bank, and I am making the trip every day. The diabetes I am almost in control with. A good thing about our 50% taxes in Denmark, it that itīs absolutely free of charge to go the doctor and hospital. So that helped me a great deal overcoming this. That meant that only medicine expenses have to be covered - and itīs not that espensive. Fortunately I have the Type2, which for know can be kept in check with pills and better diet. (thatīs where that nice lady from the hospital kicked in. She is a dietitian. And a darn pretty one too :: )

    Thanks for all the great posts. It warms my heart. I definately will be keeping in touch with you guys. Even if I canīt mangage to crunch rigth away!

    Have a pleasant day!
