On a sad note, I received some sad news. At a technical conference last week, a friend of mine's eleven-year-old son passed away during the night. My friend brought his family with him to the conference so they could enjoy some of what Orlando had to offer. I've known my friend on-line for six or seven years, and this strikes hard.

It follows less than a month after another friend's daughter died in an accident the weekend of her sister's high school graduation.

Looking for the Reload Game button in life

How sad, Bungleau! Was the poor child known to be ill? Eleven-year olds commonly don't die sudden deaths from out of the blue. As for the reload button of life, how often have I wished to reload some of my saves ...

Bummer it's so slow at your work there DrowArchmage, but yeah hey, you are at least getting paid more than others to do it. [img]smile.gif[/img] And I reckon you also have plenty of coffee around to keep you awake LOL.

I lucked out getting the latest expansion to Sacred, it's not in the U.S. yet, so I got the UK version, which apparently works just fine. Gogamer.com is a great site, is one of the very few who even have it for us in the U.S. [img]smile.gif[/img] So whoohoo! Nice having something new while I await Dungeon Siege 2. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Ugh... it's a friday ... there's no good movies out (save Batman, doubt I'd get a ticket though), and I probably failed my math final. It'd better be quiet at the theater tommorrow!

Bungleau · 06-17-2005, 11:06 PM

He apparently had a seizure of some sort during the night, Attalus, and that was all the good Lord wrote. He was not known to be ill to my knowledge.

It's one thing when you can "expect" death, but another entirely when you can't/

Time to get some gaming in tonight to take my mind off things...

Ladyzekke · 06-18-2005, 12:43 AM

Sorry to hear about your friend's son, Bungleau.

Cloudbringer · 06-18-2005, 12:54 AM

Bungleau, I'm sorry to hear of your friend's loss. It's never easy but losing a child must rank up there with the hardest things to bear in life.

I'll hug my husband a whole lot more tomorrow....seems a good way to remember those we'll miss and to remind myself not to take things for granted. Life is precious and all too short.

Attalus · 06-18-2005, 01:32 PM

How sad! The poor parents must be heartbroken. I'll say a prayer.

Ilander · 06-19-2005, 12:05 PM

It's always a tragedy when a child dies...

I'm sorry to hear it.

Man, I think I hyperextended my knee at martial arts practice. I don't think it was a bad hyperextension, but it hurts (a bunch) if I move it to either extreme (either closed or all the way open). So I'm reduced to hobbling about.

Attalus · 06-19-2005, 12:33 PM

Ah, that reinforces my suspicion that the most common victims of martial arts are martial artists.
