A Memorial to Kreij - Gone 10 years but never forgotten- check out the latest build(s)

^^^^^^^^^^^^

that is one of the best posts i have ever read on the internet.

Thanks CAPS, You're a good friend.

Always good news when cancer gets beaten. She was so young to go through something so serious.

Yes! Its not a thing to be put through at any age. Thanks for the support.

thank you for sharing. a beautiful young lady, indeed.

Thank you!

@Luke Whitton Wow, that's pretty heart warming, thanks for sharing!

Thank you also.

Got a unwelcome addition to my family recently that reminded me of this thread. my Girl has been feeling terrible as of late, and we chalked it up to life stress, etc...but the awful pain in her abdomen, and some other issues persisted.
So She scheduled a Doctors visit, who in turn had Her come in for an ultrasound...they have found several "areas of interest" including , but not limited to Polyp's...we're Hoping for the best, but I cant help but remembering this is how it began with My mother all those years ago.....I tend to internalize issues that are troubling, so i forced myself to mention/share it, and couldnt bring myself to do it "irl"....Fingers crossed.

TBH, a part of me felt almost invincible to any bad fortune, thinking I had "paid My debt" after losing my parents to cancer as a child, which is silly I know, but i'd be lying if i said i had felt any other way. It's funny what goes on in our brains.

I haven't been on this earth long and haven't seen immediate family pass away as of yet but i too get that "Invisible" feeling. Where as my partner (at the time of my daughters "Encounter"with Cancer) was breaking down in tears, It kinda just went over my head and thought that everything was going to be fine.... Strange that feeling.

Thanks for sharing, Wish you all the best!

I try to keep in mind that it can always be worse.

that way I tend to stay thankful for what I DO have as well as what I DONT have to Endure.

To be honest it took a long time to have a "healthy "outlook on life and its ups and downs. When I was younger I was mad at the world for having to endure what I went through at such a young age. While all the other kids were having fun and going on vacations, and worrying about homework my concerns were much much more adult. But now I don't feel sad about what I had to Endure, but rather... I feel bad for what my parents had to go through.

I wouldn't change it even if I could because it made me the man I am today. I think it made me a kinder person in my adult years.

Bet your parents felt bad for what you had to go through too.

For sure! You live and you learn.

they were great people...i had enough time to say goodbye to my father, my mom was faster, but i still had some time..
But thats enough sad stuff from me, noone wants to hear that junk

This is a joke break......


A nerd meets a sex worker in a bar. She says, ‘This is your lucky night. I’ve got a special game for you. I’ll do absolutely anything you want for £300 as long as you can say it in three words.


’ The guy replies, ‘Hey, why not?’


He pulls his wallet out of his pocket and lays £300 on the bar, and says slowly. ‘Paint…my….house.’

looking for opinions from regular participants of this giveaway.........
I'm in the middle of handling a build for My nephew with help from our wonderful community, but I was thinking that once it is over , we could hold another Kreij Giveaway....I realize Bill normally handles these matters, in conjunction with the rest of us, but in light of his current absence, I thought we could atleast get the ball rolling, or see it through to completion depending on what happens...I'd be willing to do the build again, unless someone else prefers to handle that end, im up for whatever. I just felt like it is a tradition that i would hate to see fizzle out. I think it brings a lot of great community together, and really lets a lot of new members see what this TPU community is capable of.

anyway, this isnt about any one of us, and I just felt like it was a subject I wanted to mention,The "when" , "who" , and "where" isn't important, all that matters is the "We".
I think We'd need to start another thread though.

What happen to Norton if anything.

That'd be good, Once passed a thing or two over the pond to Norton for his help with you guys.

Though I don't fold or crunch I'll be glad to input parts. I'm due a full rebuild early next year so if things go to plan I'll be getting rid of my current one.
I was already giving Norton my mobo and CPU but obviously he's not got back to my pm from last month. Kingpin will definitely be up for TPU.

I suggest if possible we get the build donated to a member or friend who can be 'vouched for' that has lost someone to the big C.

Just life probably. Sometimes you have to put other things first. Happens to me way too often

He and I live close together if you need anywhere to send items or if you need someone to coordinate a donation just send me a private message and we'll work it out

I was thinking about Doing next build at the beginning of 2017, at least beginning the coordination of the project.....ill likely start contacting past donors etc in regards to this after the newyear

If only I knew what kind of "beverage" he likes...

Cancer has touched my family in the past. But my wife is a five-time survivor and I never take our time together for granted.

Dude! You need to get to the hospital ASAP!!!! That can well be a sign that you have an internal bleeding man. Don't F with that at all. Get back in, even if you have to be transported, bro.
