That said, not planning on going anywhere but sorry if you're waiting on me to do some stuff and rest assured I'll get to it :)
I'm been a bit quieter in recent days and have about 200+ messages to
read tonight / tomorrow when I finish work. As you know been juggling stuff with a unwell son who is on the mend and still causing concerns
for his parents so I may be a little less active for a bit while I deal with this.

Sigh, gotta love All and Al getting mussed up, sorry it's Sunday morning here and I got home late last night after watching a Fleetwood Mac concert.
Al, went on your board and was deleted? May I ask why?

I may be a bit quieter over the next week as I'm juggling an unwell
family member who has gone into hospital for surgery.
My work week involved two days out, spent at the ED department as tests were being done, and this weekend there's some surgery expected to occur.(not me)
All of which is, for obvious reasons, taking quite a bit of focus.
So apologies if you are waiting on me for something, I am going to work
on updating the systems.txt file with a few new nodes (already added at HUBs) as well as some segments of the nodelist that should reflect next time it's hatched. If I force a hatch it may be as soon as today or as late as next Friday if I just run with the weekly automated releases.
Sorry to hear that and I hope you guys can get passed this quickly.
Sending good vibes your way.
Thanks Al. It's our eldest daughter, looks like gall bladder surgery (we think) ... she's been in a bit of pain as of late. Doctors are not 100% sure at this stage.
My wife has serious pain if she takes in too much fatty food too late in the day. She's doubled over for hours until it passes. For now she
just lives with it.
I hope it is, indeed, something as routine as gall bladder sugery.
Thinking about your family member Avon.. I go in next Friday for Laser Kidney stone removal.. I am sure everything will work out just fine...

Ouch. I went through that about 6-7 years ago. The surgery is pretty quick, and they don't even leave scars anymore. :)
If it's intense pain right below the center of the ribcage, it's
probably the gall bladder.

Anywhoo, hope this finds you guys well. :)
Sorry to hear that -- hoping all will go well!
My thoughts go out to you and your family: zeros & ones are always the least of our concerns.
Take it easy Paul.
Hi Avon
All the best for you and your family, hopefully all goes well...
Prayers and best wishes your way! The suspense is nothing anyone wishes
to go through in such cases.
Hope all goes well. All the best to your family member.

Paul, always remember, family comes first. While you will be missed, I don't think anyone here would expect you to do any different.
I'll be thinking about you and your family in the coming days.

No worries, we understand and really just wish you... and YOURS... well thru this time, sir. I hope things take a turn for the best, and please don't stress over fsx - those who know way more than me will make sure things run smoothly... and I got the rest. :P

That's pretty much the same story for me.

Depends on the doctor.. some will WANT to find "a concern" and
treat you for it.

Yea - I need to figure out insurance, but my career is ... off the
record - and while I create great cash flow, I'm gonna be screwed in the end. :/
Thanks Dan, you take it easy too... you've been working long hours
lately.

Thanks Jeff.
She's been bumped off a list of folks waiting for surgery over several days now which is frustrating. There's a limited number of slots etc.
and her levels of medical angst rate lower than those of a person
involved in a car crash etc... which is fair enough. Still after waiting over the weekend with no joy we're all getting a little impatient
waiting for something to happen.
Good luck, hope the operation goes well.
Best wishes for a full recovery for them!
I've actually got a day off, and a list of things I had wanted to do,
but no ambition to do any of it... Evidently, my body is telling me to just take the day to relax... (at least that's what I'm thinking) ;)

She seems better in her self but sore etc... and we're just looking
after her for a few days before she heads back to her flat.
My daughter is out of hospital and now staying with us for a few days.

Great to hear, glad she is on the mend and you are away from the
hospital. I can relate of how frustrating it is when Doctors tell you "were not sure..." Get some rest and enjoy a good movie.
I hope she continues to feel better!

Seems to be a time of change in our family.
My youngest son is moving away to another city and leaves today.
This is his first time living outside he spent most of his life
growing up in and will be at the other end of the country i.e.
you need to fly or spend several days driving to get from us to
him. I will miss him when he leaves. At 22 and with a girlfriend
and a job to go to, he's off on his next adventure.
My parents just had their 58th wedding anniversary yesterday. Mum
is now in hospital level care with dementia in a rest home and
her health is failing quickly. It's hard to imagine what it was
like for them yesterday with the knowledge that this may be their
last anniversary together. I talk to my Dad each day, he also
lives a couple of airline flights away from me. Video calling has
been a saviour in being able to support him from afar.
My wife and I will visit my parents in a few weeks. I suspect it
will be the last time I will see Mum alive. My rational brain
gets this, this train has been rolling for a few years now. My
emotional brain gets it too... but at times it gets it less... ah emotional brain... how you can pop up out of nowhere at times and
remind me I'm human :)
I write this on a warm, blue sky, sunny morning... summer is in
full swing here, we actually are in the mid of a mini heatwave
for this part of the country over the next several days. It's
clam outside, the dog is lying on the floor next to me. I'm
waiting for my son to come back from his flat inspection so we
can have a final few hours together before he starts his 3-4 days
drive north.
Do you think there are times in your life where it just seems
there's a ton of change that seems to happen almost all at once?
At the moment that feels the way for me. New manager at work,
many 10+ year work colleagues leaving or have left, family stuff (mentioned above) and on it goes.
I'm not complaining, just a bit exhausted. I think many of us are
after the last few years. It's nice to have a hobby you can
dabble in/out of when you want. Keeps things fun and helps you
stay sane :)

it's not the same but i've been back in second life for over a month now and while i had a short visit in 2014 i havent really been active since 2010. seeing names i remember and finding out about those who have passed in the mean time. Seeing all the changes to the platform, the interests of those who use it etc seems a bit overwhelming.

Yes, there certainly do seem to be times in life where that seems to happen, probably to everybody. I have been through a couple of those periods myself, one of which involved losing a parent to dementia, also.
Having the kids "leave the nest" is also difficult, but should be seen
as a positive step forward, I think. It means you've done your job
well. ;-) I feel for what you're going through, and hope you come out
on the other side of it as well as possible. I think you will!

Second life has a lot of older users as well as unhealthy users, which i think is something shared with this hobby. as time goes by the familiar
faces pass it makes me understand why so many elderly face depression.

it does i suppose although my interest in bbsing has gone for the time being i stick around for the familarity of the people here.
I'm the oldest in my family and mom cried when I got that first "real"
job that would take me away.
Compare that to my youngest brother where mom effectively said "When are you getting out of here?"
