where I needed up in life, since it is the end on the forums, I am going to post a quick summary here. I don't really intend to keep in contact with most people as I now live a boring, but happy life.

I kind of want everyone to give an update on their own life so I can read them as I always curious.

I am still married to the guy I dated in high-school when I was 14 and he was 15. We were so young and dumb, but I suppose we are older and wiser now albiet I never intend to fully "grow up". We have one child now and I am going back to school for a 4th or 5th degree at this point (my employer continues to pay, so I continue to go).

I really can't complain about life. We are about to pay off our house in August/September of this year and be 100% debt free. I do work full time, but it is an easy 40 hours except for year end (I am a wierd programming/accountant hybrid and have been oscillating between the two fields my entire career). My husband turned out to be the breadwinner and he is a mechanic/PLC programmer hybrid that is going to complete his first degree soon.

I don't really have much else going on as juggling my job, family and school keeps busy most days. My daughter and I also play Among Us, which might be fun to get each other's gamer IDs or whatever and play a few games. Idk.

Idk, I probably have been largely forgotten by most (which is largely intentional with all the name changes), but if anyone was ever curious, I figure I'd leave this here

So I guess it's your turn. Post an update for others to read. It's something unpredictable
But in the end, it's right
I hope you had the time of your life

Thanks for the thread, Averia Light. :)

As for my situation, I have retired last year from teaching (High School German, Mathematics and Science) due to a total and permanent disability. I fought the TPD claim, because I still wanted to work. However, the ravages of treatment over the years for the repeated episodes (4) of the rare metastatic Basal Cell Carcinoma have made that untenable. Finally, I think that I have come to accept it and move on with the rest of my life.

My partner of 36 years has been my "strength and stay." He's kept me sane throughout all the trials and tribulations of ill-health. I would be completely lost without him.

Like you, I am about to pay off the house in early February. Due to me being a medical oddity, I chose not to have children (confirmed CF carrier and genetic predisposition to rare cancers). However, I am an aunt to five fantastic nephews and nieces, dogmother to two psycho Border Collies and meowmother to two wonderful moggies.

I am a volunteer with a local cancer support group, which I plan to continue, as long as my airway allows it (long story).

I have read good things about Among Us, so I may end up giving it a try. :)

Looking forward to reading more posts from the community. :)

Synopsis of random things,my POV:

I enjoyed playing millsberry long ago. Miniclip. There used to be a game where you could ask a guy with a magic hat, with a crystal ball any question. RuneScape lead me to typing very fast. Yes, I did own atleast a Santa hat when it was dirt cheap. But, I got lured because I was a kid and naive and still am. Enjoyed making imvu avatars too. So many outfits.

We are a big family…..I have 2 brothers and 2 sisters . I am the youngest of the family. Grew up with many people from different backgrounds.

Not married . Kinda have an aversion to it due to unfortunate events. If it works for some people okay. Different strokes for different folks. It’s just a piece of paper to me. It doesn’t stop anything from happening.

I used to feed a stray cat from the beginning of the ‘Covid era’ 2020 till 2022. He just stopped visiting one day. I think someone took him in . He was a very gentle cat and had some odd quirks. I could not keep him as a pet even thought I did want to. He was mostly white, some orange blobs, and his tail was orange,eyes golden.

I haven’t got a lot figured out but I try to remain hopeful.

I’ve been to a few comic cons.. Well the ones I did go to were interesting. I cosplayed occasionally. I have like 10 cosplay outfits never worn and I know I should do something otherwise it’s a waste. Never took a photo with a celebrity since I’d be too nervous. But, if RDJ was there I’d have to suck it up and take a picture.

Still here, still saying what needs to be said, and damn the consequences.

Still married (30th wedding anniversary coming up), and still living in the Czech Republic, where I now have citizenship as well. This means I have both British and European passports, which is handy.

My daughter is now married, living in Canada, and doing very well indeed as a backend programmer for a foreign exchange processing company. My son will be finishing his master's degree this year.

Still primarily a translator, but in the last couple of years have also seen some of my flash fiction (mainly science fiction) published around the web, and last year was commissioned to write bodies of lore for two NFT projects as well.

Thanks to various inheritances, my wife an I now own 3 apartments (one for us, a small one I use as an office, and one for my son), half a house (the other half belongs to my brother-in-law) and a whole heap of agricultural real estate (fields, managed woodland and a small vineyard) that we rent out to people who actually know what to do with these things. Not a position I ever expected to be in.

Still married to my husband. I will never forget when my state finaly legalized same sex marriages. Been a wonderful and rocky trip on this old rock for me. Served two tours in Vietnam, was drafted the day I graduated from high school and redrafted when I had a week left on my first tour. Retired Correctional Officer, worked death row for three executions in my state.

Have two wonderful adopted daughters whom my husband and I rescued from foster care. One thing about them that tells me that it was heaven ordained with them, was when we first started the adoption process, one of my daughters told her case worker that her and her sister was going to go live with two men, and one would have metal legs. This was before we had fully met them.

Still cancer free after ten years, though it did cost me both of my legs from the knees down. Was fighting osteosarcoma 2b, the sheer amount of drugs and radiation they pumped into me, it is a miracle I did not become a super hero from it.

Though I am married, sadly my husband does not live with us any more. He had to be placed in an assisted living home do to his Alzhimers, a horrid disease.

Started writing a memoir last month, titled Expect The Worst Hope For The Best: The Journey of Life, One Day and One Step at a time. Still meet once a year in January with the surviving members of my platoon, and let me tell you we are getting fewer and fewer each year.

I am also the proud fur papa to several chihuahuas, a boxer whom I rescued, well more along the lines of flat out took him, from an abusive owner, whom I witnessed abusing the poor guy on my way home from the store. Long story for a different day on him, it took a while before he would finaly trust me, the boxer that is.

The same goes for one my chihuahuas, that one is a miracle I did not go to jail over. Also the proud fur papa to a fennec fox named Jessy and a capybara named Franky. Those two are local celebrities and major hams.

<con> Don't ever think the reason I am peaceful is because I do not know how to be violent.

Take Franky and Jessy three times a year to the local elementry school, where they ham it up big time. Those two are also thicker than thieves, where one goes the other goes.

Also an avid gardener and each year I go rounds with my town over my native wild flower garden in my front yard.

That about sums up my life. Don't ever think the reason I am peaceful is because I do not know how to be violent.
