Wow, time flew by sort of.
I do not have many posts, but i have been here almost daily to just read up on things.
It's true it used to be better, this place is like real life;-)
You visit, meet people, some go, some stay. Before you know it, you're 'the old guy in the club'.
So anyway, i always kept out of pissing matches, just to be on the safe side. Funny because 'in real life' i am know for always having my opinion ready of not being shy of letting it know. I guess i am a "reverse keyboard worrier" ;-).
Ten years is a long time and it reflects on the dreams and livesof people here. For example, in 2001 i was 29. I then was convinced i would be retiring by 30. I still know Quiet's tagline, i had it memorized as were of the same age. His said "29, retired by 30" for years, our lives totally took a different path throughout the years.
He actually lived his dream, retired early, did all he wanted but unfortunately his life came to an early end. Mine went the other way. I did not become rich, i met a nice girl, partied a year and became a single father of a baby (who's now almost 5) who turned my life around. Full time daddy and trying to make lots of money do not go well.
I also bought my house and stocks in 2006-2007. The height if both markets. It's pretty much worth 20% now. The bad luck i have had beyond my control is almost hard to believe, even a psychologist was puzzled the other day, haha.
As you can see, life is life and it happens to all of us. I just gave a simple example of Quiet and me, there's many stories alike on the board.
I really like some older guys here still posting as well. 10 years ago they were old fucks to (40, DAMN) me, now i am almost there and still here also.
Shout out to all the other good people who have died, its a long list. I'm glad i am still here, broke or not. My child is healthy (except for Marfan syndrome) and never sick, passed first year in kindergarden (;-)). If he's doing well, i'm doing great!
My thoughts are also with some of the mums here who lost their sons in the time we were all here, you know who you are. It sure must suck every day still: stay strong!
To all those livin'large: i hope you earned it fairly, almost everybody here got scammed one way or another. It seemed to get worse last 4 years and the attitude of the newcomers bothered me lots. Obviously, as stated, i tend to keep from pissing others here.
Here's to 2021. I hope those here now, are then then sound and healthy.
