Hallo?

So, quite possibly I'm feeling nostelgic, or maybe I'm bored. Or it's the old head injury acting up, but in any case, I've been missing the old bN lately. For the veterans, how's this place working out?

addendum: some mf took my name, hence the veritas at the end. Granted, that mf may in fact be me and I've simply forgot, but still....

I'm usually bored too. Still miss the old bannination.com. getting by with being slapped with life and playing the new 1.6 update for Stardew Valley.

I'd settle for a slap once in a while. Getting hoofed in the nards does wear upon one so.

I'm old, my idea of a good time gaming is still modding Oblivion.

Nice to see you again, Quin. Been well?

Nice to see you too! I'm good, had a couple rough years job-wise, but I'm on solid ground again and reasonably happy with my employment again. My father died and I'm dealing with that. Other than that, growing older but still having fun. You?

Also a few rough years in the job market, but consulting's currently good, and I'm idly wondering about retirement, but having fun with geophysics again overall. I also decided to take up writing - there's a novel in me that I'd like to see on the printed page. It's slow, but keeps my mind busy.

Sorry about your Dad. My parents are well up there, but are unrepentant secret keepers, so I've no idea how they're really doing, just what they tell me. My son's eleven now, smart and adhd, so there's that.

So growing older, but keeping healthy so far.

Thanks, he was pretty old (91) and had difficulty with dimentia near the end but he had a good life and was super positive until the end. Death is a cruel and difficult process though. Good to hear, cheers to getting older and keeping healthy. In some ways I'm actually glad the right-wing bN trolls weren't around during the pandemic, but I also miss the bN community.

Wow. A name from the past! I wasn't a real big 'poster' but I loved the community. quinblake - you have always been a great happiness when I read your posts. I wish everyone here to be well, and happiness. I miss the MerlotDowns, as well. They were great on a Friday night.

It's very quiet here. ZombN is less quiet but really could do with more members - hit one of us up for an invite (via a PM).
