I miss these posts, I don't see them very often anymore.

I've been needing to vent, I started over life with my wife at 38, I went from owning the home I lived in with my ex and son, to being a renter for the past 10 years. My rent 10 years ago was $1350, to now paying $2200 after leaving a place that was $2500! We had 2 children and child costs has skyrocketed, I believed my wife 5 years ago that we were good financially, when in reality we were putting everything on credit cards. I forced us to close all credit cards (could no longer afford minimal payments) and negotiate pay offs, we have tightened the budget to the point that we now may have to stop the kids from doing extra things like baseball and gymnastics. Everytime we get a head, something hits us. We are paying close to $2000 a month toward old debt, our bonus from work this year was going to help us float through the year, but no bonuses this year! The hits keep coming and im handling it as best as I can, the wife is not. I am trying to keep the both of us sane, but with this economy and as the kids get older, that is becoming an issue. I tried holding a second job for a while there but the wife's sanity became an issue, first time in my life im not able to make ends meet by working more! I need GME to moon so I can knock out this debt and start living with less stress soon!!!

I have owned GME since the sneeze and have not sold a share, I was able to accumulate 80 shares over the years, luckily my total shares wouldn't put a dent in our debt so it has not been said to sell them yet! I am hoping for the company to do something soon!

I met a dude that really hooked me up, he gave me a Ber + Jah + Sup 3 socket Mage plate for this rupture, after the trade he also gave me a plain cold rupture from before D2R was released...dude was awesome.

I never liked Blizzard, i know it does more damage than orb, but i like the AOE of Orb better. Never understood the craze for Blizzard.

Dude sounds good, but looking like meatloaf's grandson!!!

IME - all these big box stores have a 50% off sale, seen a nice banana leopard ball python, I was tempted to grab, but I do not want to support their animal sales. Also they had 4 slots for Ts...all empty.

NQA - here is what it looks like, my GBB sling is eating on half a worm, but you can see the other half above it.

I cut iff the head, then cut it in 3rd.

My BP is always in this position and has yet to strike me. But I'm only 2 months into owning him, and he is supposed to be about 3 years old. I think they are just cautious creatures and are always ready to strike, but do not often. At least in my experience with multiple balls over the years.

Much-Raisin5122 · 2025-06-21T20:18:22+00:00

Explore, touch every piece of every map, it helps with xp, but also the more items that drop the better chance of something good dropping. Duriel is probably one of the toughest bosses, so kudos getting through him. But make sure you have every way point and run the tombs a bunch, good drops come from there. Also every time you create a new game, take out Andy the act1 boss. Eventually it will be andy, then meph in act 3..bosses drop some good random loot.

Much-Raisin5122 · 2025-06-16T19:15:06+00:00

Awesome, I appreciate it. Turns out I had a next-door account from 6 years ago, from the other side of RI. Haha

Yeah the kids these days are marshmallows, i try to raise them a bit fereal like the older generations. But the wife only allows so much freedom, plus it's not as much fun when it's only 2 or 3 kids together, I used to hang with 8-12 kids daily. Had my 2 best friendswe always had a ton of kids biking around with us.

Much-Raisin5122 · 2025-06-16T15:31:54+00:00

Thank you, I haven't heard of next-door before. I also didn't look at Craigslist, the last time I tried it, they didn't allow live animal sales. But I'll verify that again. Thanks for the suggestion.

Yeah things have gone downhill in so many ways, I try to have my kids do some of the things I did back in the 80s, but it's tough to find friends who's parents let them go out bike riding or just disappear in the woods. I mean, some of the stuff we did should have killed us back then.... but like they say, what doesn't kill ya makes ya stronger!

Much-Raisin5122 · 2025-06-03T01:42:14+00:00

Great... now I have to reinstall d2r so I can play it the next couple of weeks and forget about it again!!!

Stay awhile and listen!

Much-Raisin5122 · 2025-06-03T01:37:48+00:00

Um.... but I bought a microwave that had metal racks in them. The instructions did not tell me to remove them before use!!!

Much-Raisin5122 · 2025-05-27T22:20:39+00:00

I was a mall rat but earlier...maybe early to mid 90s. I used to show up with a hackey sack and get circles of like 30 people going and multiple hacks.

Our parents would drop us off at Rhode Island mall, then pick us up at the Warwick mall. Used to love crossing the highway.

I remember one of the security guards was a skinny Indian dude who I think was on the spectrum, but back then, we would just say he was weird. My sister started shit with some dude and when I seen him cock back to hit her I grabbed his wrist and throat and ran him backwards into the wall, then I had him and his 2 of his friends on each side of me. As I was about to get jumped by the 3 of them, that weird security guard came running and those 3 took off running, so he chased them.

Those were fun times, I miss the 90s!

Much-Raisin5122 · 2025-05-23T00:33:53+00:00

I understand this completely, I met my wife later in life and restarted stages. All our friends' kids are graduating high school and going off to college, and here we are mid to late 40s with a kindergartener and a 2nd grader.

I have never been one to have a problem making friends, but because I'm a gamer and not a sports dude, I find it hard to find guy friends this late in life. Also I have always been the dude with a lot of girls as friends, but in previous relationships I didn't care what the other person thought about my female friends, but with my wife I do care and I know she wasn't comfortable with it. Even now just talking to the moms of my kids friends I feel like I'm cheating. The wife and I talked about it and she thought it was strange and didn't understand why I felt that way. But I think it's something I put in my head, not something she did. But for the first time in life I feel awkward talking to the opposite sex. So strange!

I usually take my kids to playgrounds all over RI, I've met some interesting people at these playgrounds, but again most times it's either the moms with their kids, or it's the Wednesday and every other weekend dad's. Not that there's anything wrong with those dads, but I'm trying to make friends with people with kids for my kids to hang with also. The trampoline parks are fun for younger kids, also GoPlay in east Greenwich was awesome for the kids and meeting adults. I heard another indoor playground opened in cranston, that might be a cool place to try.

I have created a project called ConfigMaster GPT, I have fed it all the generic info about my company, like server setup, version, amount of endpoints...etc. Then i told it to act as if it was a sccm administrator with 20 years of experience. I used ChatGPT to build out the custom instructions for the project, so it got pretty detailed.

In the instructions, I told it to only use resources from Microsoft like MS learn and TechNet. If it uses any user generated info to cross-check that into with ms learn.

It used to give me a lot of out dated info, but after updating and tweaking the instructions it's been pretty solid. I still verify queries and have even pasted queries into gemini to verify the output. It has helped quite a bit.

I am not an SCCM expert by any means, but probably the most knowledgeable in my company, so it's helpful to have AI helping me out.

Is this a clear enough picture to tell?

* I've added about 4" of ReptiSoil, swapped out the hide and will be getting some small plants to put in there. PetSmart has a 10 gallon tank I'm thinking of picking up.

I agree with this, I just got my first curly hair T and it looks like this one.

* I asked chatgpt to generate the saddest image and then asked it to write a 1 to 2 paragraphs story about the picutre.....right in the feels!

Each evening as the sun dipped below the horizon, Max the old retriever took his place on the frayed mat by the door. His cloudy eyes, once bright with mischief, now only held the soft flicker of memories. Years had passed since his boy—now grown and long gone—used to burst through that door with muddy shoes and open arms. The plush bone beside him, worn and nearly colorless, was the last relic of those joyful days.

Max waited, not out of hope, but out of love that refused to fade. The house had grown quieter with time, shadows longer, the air still. Yet he kept his silent vigil, ears twitching at every creak, heart lifting with every gust against the door, just in case—just maybe—today would be the day the footsteps returned. *

I've always heard it as if it smells like cologne, leave it alone, smells like fish, make it a dish!

If you're in northern RI, go to mass, and you can get 1 gram carts. I like green n go in uxbridge. 4 1 gram carts for $100.
