Shacknews LoL

Dear Flynn,

My son's GPU died this summer and you hooked him up with a GTX 1060. He wrote you a thank you letter and I forgot all about it because we all got super busy and stuff.

Thank you again.

Shack I had a baby girl!

Gosh that was a hell of a thing! I broke down crying when she came out and let out a little cry. I think coming from my previous premature baby situation this just felt like not in the bag till the baby was out and once she was out all the emotions poured out. So glad to have a full term happy healthy baby, this was just so lovely and positive! She came right out and smiled at my wife :) Everyone's recovering great btw.

Happy New Year from the peegs!

My big boi is going for surgery tomorrow to remove a mass and have it sent for testing.

Needs many virtual boops

I am sad and fucking drunk. I'll probably fall asleep before I even see the replies.

My relationship of 22 years is over. I have no idea how to fucking figure out my living arrangements for me and my kid and her. I guess we gotta sell the fuckin house.

I love you guys.

My dad passed this morning.

Thank y'all so much for all of the support and love you've shown towards my family and myself over these last few years; I can't even begin to express how much strength that has given me. He was one hell of a man, and if I can end up being even half the man he was then I'll be doing a pretty damn good job!

Also, fuck ALS.

I’ve been sitting here in my house not knowing what to do for the last couple hours. I took my best boy Max to the vet to get some sores looked at because he’s been scratching at himself since we got home from vacation yesterday. The vet put him on some antibiotics but during the exam she found that his lymph nodes were highly swollen. All of them. They’re sending a cytosomething and blood work to the lab for testing but she was very concerned and said it it most likely cancer. I don’t know what to do. Im just sitting here with tears in me eyes. I can’t loose my boy.

My dad has been in hospice care for about seven weeks. It has been a blessing because he was finally able to get on oxygen after years of having just high enough levels to not qualify through insurance. He was also on some pain medication to help with coughing due to COPD and emphysema. Just really awesome overall experience for him to actually get solid sleep.

My mom called today and the nurse has taken him off all meds except for pain and breathing treatments. Basically the start of the end. I’m headed over to him later today after I get some work things knocked out (I fucking hate that I feel like I can’t just drop everything) and call my half-siblings so they can get an update on their stepdad.

No real point to this post other than that I needed to talk it out. Really appreciate you all so so much.

So I've been having some migraines lately and seeing weird spots in my vision, and a few were so bad they made me hallucinate and I couldn't remember where i was. It freaked me out so I saw my doctor and they hand me go get my eyes checked out and they turned out to be fine. Yesterday I was getting a CT scan, and then they pulled me inside to meet their head nueroscience dude...showed me darker grey spots, about 6 or so, all over. Told me to go to the ER and they will be waiting.

Went home, told me wife. We got married about 3 weeksago and and have an almost 4 years old daughter. They took me in and then there were a bunch of tests and bloodwork but our nurse said this shit was serious but we were going to come up with a plan and then she started balling, and my wife started balling, so I just started balling too. My daughter knew something was wrong and she just kept holding and kissing my hand.

My family went home for now and they gave me an MRI last night so I'm just waiting to taked to whoever. The coffee really sucks.

So I'm just bitching right now. This is my first time just kinda processing this all. I keep going from feeling positive, but then I think about leaving my daughter and it just destroyed me. But on one hand, I'm healthy as fuck, but then, just ...don't fuck with my brain. I know a few of you are dealing with stuff like this or have survived, so I'd love to hear some words of wisdome.

Fuck! Also, I know I don't post a lot on here, but I've been checking in on this page for 2008 I think? I love this place. This is a seriously good group of peoples.

Folks, meet the next future Shacker: Arthur (AKA Artie, better known as ART)

He came a week early, on Mother's Day, just in time to watch the Sixers embarass themselves.
He's very advanced when he isn't pissing himself, and I think he's looking forward to kicking your ass at CS:S in the 2030s

I haven't gotten out of the tutorial area in Zelda 😭
