Hello:
 I'm sorry about your loss, but you may remember that a person is only truly dead when we forget them. So he will be with you as long as you remember the times you spent with him and the things he taught you.

Which, though wasn't much to me directly, I can get it second-hand through others. It's just reality. Things happen. I learned more about him from my mom and aunt than himself directly. But yes, his memory will live on.

My condolences to you Aaron.
It is a sad thing we often tend to realize how precious a life is and how much a person means to us when the person is gone
Everyone ought to think of the important things to say and questions to ask their grandparents as it really, really hurts if, after the passing away of a beloved person one realizes how much was left unsaid or unasked

Wise words, Malte... Wise words... There was not a lot we really did, sadly, me and him... We barely knew each other, except from stories I've heard...

the aberage male lives to be 76, so your grandfather lived longer than that. I know it hurts, I lost 2 of my relatives witin 2 weeks of each other in 2006, one we knew was dying, the other took us completely by surprise. one of them , my uncle had brian cancer, and my aunt had complications from gastrobypass surgery. Both were in their late 40s shhe was 46, he had just turned 49.  needless to say that fall was a huge downer..

Yeah... My apologies for your losses too... Yeah, it's not easy... One minute you're here, and the next, you're dead. No fanfare, nothing... Just dead... Reminds me of how precious life really is....

Sorry about that NN. *hugs*

Rat_Lady7.... Thank you... *hugs back*

Well... I got a bittersweet piece of news today... One of my grandpas died. The one I don't get to see often... At around 7-ish this morning. Kidney failure. I find myself sitting here, in a bit of a shock, but the realization has hit that I never got the chance to see him recently, so close to his passing... And that hurts the most... ...Well, he's with Yahweh-shua now, blessed be El Shaddai... :^.^: ...See you up there, grandpa. Bye bye... *sniff*

^ Certainly do like 'em.

Whoa... You like The Carpenters? That, is, awesome! ...I so had to come out of the shadows to post a response. I grew up on The Carpenters; RIP Karen...

Wow, is this a late response... I didn't realize you'd posted on my poem topic. Thanks, Rat_Lady7. ...Gawd, this is so late... xD

Well, during one of my casual lurkings at this board, I happened upon this thread, and gladly signed the petition. Will my contribution make much of a difference? I may never know...

*wonders if he should stop this "note to the admins" thing about him still being officially gone*

Austin: It's a modem/router combo...

No, the power seems to be fine.  Wiggled the adapter...

Yes, it's the correct adapter and everything; what came in the box is what I used...

Yes, 192.168.1.1 is the default gateway...

I've already reset it, multiple times...

Okay, I'll look for a firmware upgrade, thank you.

EDIT: That did it, thank you!

Okay... Back into the shadows... *fades out*

EDIT 2: I knew about ipconfig /all by the way, LOL.
