Life knocked me out pretty good..

[Beerdrinker]

Hello there,

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

Just wanted to post that I´m 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.

I know about diabetes, and losing parents... been fired a few times too... I'm sure you will get back up and running when you can! Courage, my friend!

Be Strong and Stay Positive!

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. (he´s moved from my house. Studying near by. Want´s 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. It´s just like 35 miles from home (that´s 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 it´s 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 it´s not that espensive. Fortunately I have the Type2, which for know can be kept in check with pills and better diet. (that´s 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 can´t mangage to crunch rigth away!

Have a pleasant day!

Plz let me know if I can help in any way. I still have that Gigabyte MB you sent me several years ago. :)

Good to see you Beer. I've thought about you recently, also. Sorry for your loss.

I've been scaling back a lot myself due to unforeseen government meddling with my flood zoning. Gotta get the electric bill down to make up for resulting costs.

Take care of you. Don't be a stranger.

EPA is way out of control, with no appeal process. Pacific Legal Foundation (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacific_Legal_Foundation) is doing a lot of good work with that. They are working hard on something very close to your issue.

Hi Beer, man we've missed you. Kat was just asking about you like 2 weeks ago, so she'll be happy when I tell her you showed up on the boards again! :) Sorry to hear about the loss, can't be easy in any way - none of them. We're here if you ever need anything, and hope you can have a better time of it this year!

[Beerdrinker]

Hey there Jed!

Definately planning on having a better year. I am settling in with the new job. Over time I will be able to be better consolidated, which it a priority from my side. The Diabetes is just a side dish. I can deal with that, given enough time. I am a though viking - you know! :p

Best regards,
Beer
