Mine has batteries. I don’t need a cord. But my new one has a heart beat and after getting married I donated the old one to Guinness world records.

No dummy the plug-in was any response to the posts so long I don’t understand lol

Ok these posts are long and complicated.

So!

Thoughts and prayers, congratulations, good luck, that’s awesome, happy birthday or sorry for your loss.

Just plug one in for me. lol

Is “tight axx snob” a noun or verb?

Asking for a shy friend…

Fight nice boys…

Gee. I think I’ve seen this show before.

Oh please…

1000 and 2

Thank for for clarifying my old friend. Some just kinda look towards me to be the diversity spokesman. lol (a job I don’t want)

/me skips away singing dancing queen.

You all are a hot mess.

Sorry. Wrong place.

Bonus

I had that rash in college after a weekend at the club. I still have it. I married it last year.

Ps. I have no clue what’s going on in this thread. Someone came tattling that I was being harassed by big meanie Red again. lol

I guess I’ll throw myself on this grenade lol

The pee pee myth KoH? Why’d everyone in the room look at me to investigate this? :-)

Thank you Pang.

See!!! BH didn’t I in essence say the same thing 2 months ago? To delete all your shxt, come back with all you learned in this mess, and play in a few months as anyone BUT that name? I wasn’t lying. Come back as Keith or Steve or Stacey to make it interesting. lol

If KOH and I actually agree on something you can take that shxt to the bank lol

Funny side note: (I’ll try to be short)

The old pdm senate dissolved. Leto and Dead Arise and Josey Wales held the tag for years. 2 years ago this august Dan and I were bored and found EE was here, and we came back. Dan and I farmed Ashe I think by accident. We didn’t know the new game bot stuff. Ohhhh Ash wanted me dead for 18 months. lol Dark Demon kept them from smashing us.

But one set Dan was misbehaving and his rainbow was making me have mini strokes. lol so I ordered him detagged and I killed him. Later we laughed when folks noticed we killed our own. We said it was “training exercise” LoL

Don’t know why I really told that story but I know after he retired and was Ill off and on he was here HOURS and HOURS the last year. It was keeping him sane. Funny that this place keeps anyone sane :-)

Thank you all. In the last year, he really was here a lot yet didn’t speak publicly. He would feel welcomed of the cross “clan” lines of kindness. As am I.

I did forget to include and I did edit that in the early days he used plumber-man Dan as a nickname. On earthstats. Galleri recently fixed his username here as he couldn’t post. But he wasn’t very public and would talk privately. Which he enjoyed. Gave him something to do.

I am hoping to hear word on any service and travel back to Iowa.

UPDATE:

After just under 2 weeks in hospice, I just was informed Grumpy old Man passed. We all knew and as I told you all I was not expecting it to be long. His 63rd birthday is tomorrow Saturday the 13th.

Dan was a personal IRL friend, as I mentioned he was like an uncle to me.

Thank you all for the kind words. PDM lost a friend that played since the beginning. (Then known as plumber-man Dan) And I lost a part of my family. I will miss his crabby old sarcasm, his support in my journey growing up, and his presence.

Doug

lol

Signed hot stuff.

1:2, 2:hugz 3:reach around

Careful. Last time she sent me seeds the DEA had a bon fire in my yard snd I was in handcuffs. (I’m kidding, she’s quite the farmer actually. Chickens at 4:30am and all)

Well Grumpy old man (Dan) did enjoy his nightly 11pm beer. Or beers. So raise a glass or smoke one if you got one for him.

Hemp and those on team he loved playing there too. He was stubborn. But always online to chat. I spoke to him almost nightly. I remember my boring side jobs sitting somewhere trying to stay awake and he’d often stay up all hours keeping me company at work.

The only update today is his morphine and Ativan are increased, he’s breathing shallow, and per his wishes no tubes, feeding or breathing or otherwise.

Yes, I knew about this for awhile. But until he made it public 3 weeks ago, I never spoke of it.

But yes, have a beer or a bowel for our old friend. I will know more when I speak with hospice in the morning. I was in Iowa and returned home. I’ll return there upon his passing. I’m not god but it will be soon.

You all have been most kind

Thanks galleri and KOH.

Galleri just recently helped him get his forum handle fixed since 2017 lol but he rarely spoke publicly. Thank you both as well.

To you and Hemp,

Dan knew playing on other servers meant still behaving and to never bring it over to alliance. He often mentioned Hemp and his team play. He also drove me crazy with late night FaceTime calls about his 16 FFA countries.

Thank you both. He had alot of time on his hands the last year, and didn’t speak of his illness nor did I ever mention it until a few weeks ago when he told PDM.
But he truly loved interacting and having a place to occupy his time and mind.

Thanks. We appreciate the kindness

Friday before last I spoke to Grumpy Old Man aka Dan. We spoke often for more than a decade. He wasn’t just a player but a real friend. On Saturday, the cancer that riddled his body took over, lesions on his brain stopped any speech or alertness. I traveled to Iowa to say goodbye this week. Our friend will be 63 this Saturday the 13th. However, he’s had no food or water since last Saturday. I was his medical POA as his family wasn’t in touch for 8 years. I managed to bring his sons to the table and broker peace and allow them to sign off on hospice and the POA. Being 10 hours away wasn’t feasible or fair.

Dan has days left. He played quietly on all servers and loved this game and made some friends. He was with PDM since day 1.

We will miss grumpy old man, and we ask for your thoughts or prayers as he makes his final journey home. I will be returning to Iowa this week to send our old friend on his next journey.

Lastly, regardless of game politics. I think scripture tells us “Joy comment in the morning” - I hope so, for all of our sake. Thanks.

Quit trying to get my thread closed in less than 90 seconds damn! lol

No pun intended. (Ok a little pun)

But.. Earth Day is a myth. It was invented by our parents and grandparents generations. They were doing so many drugs they needed 1 day to remember what planet they were living on.

(This is satire. The politically correct will confirm later)

Actually, I am in the age rage of what I referenced. I’m sorry you’re the gray sprinkles on our cupcakes. I don’t make the rules.

I think “welfare check” in todays term and again CONTEXT it was said means “they fell off the face of the earth” it’s a generation Z phrase. Next time I’ll put it in boomer form. My bad. The politically correct dictionary isn’t recognized here. lol I love and like a lot of you, but I’m not here to be the Urban Dictionary of EE for Gen Y and Gen Z. But I owned my comment Galleri as I always do. I did not mean it literally as it’s a common phrase as to “yo, he fell off the face of the earth”

Mwah

If you’d get outta my bed it wouldn’t bother you sir.

Gonzo, and anyone else.

With many returning players who don’t know the parties here, or the context involved. It’s been an ongoing thing with the EE discord server. Everyone gets trolled, Orkin isn’t complete unless he gets in 5 gay insults whenever I’m there lol. Leto trolled him right back. As did 4 or 5 others.

If anyone is at fault it was me. I had mentioned earlier in the day that “gee Orkins been quiet, maybe we should do a welfare check” in the chat server for EE. Tagging him I knew he’d come and give me a rash of crap. Annnnnd everyone went bonkers.

The end.
