    BEST DIVORCE LETTER EVER ....... Dear Wife, I’m writing you this letter to tell you that I’m leaving you forever. I’ve been a good man to you for 7 years & I have nothing to show for it. These last 2 weeks have been hell. ... Your boss called to tell me that you quit your job today & that was the last straw. Last week, you came home & didn’t even notice I had a new haircut, had cooked your favorite meal & even wore a brand new pair of silk boxers. You ate in 2 minutes, & went straight to sleep after

    watching all of your soaps. You don’t tell me you love me anymore; you don’t want sex or anything that connects us as husband & wife. Either you’re cheating on me or you don’t love me anymore; whatever the case, I’m gone. Your EX-Husband P.S. don’t try to find me. Your SISTER & I are moving away to West Virginia together! Have a great life!

     

    Dear Ex-Husband Nothing has made my day more than receiving your letter. It’s true you & I have been married for 7 years, although a good man is a far cry from what you’ve been. I watch my soaps so much because they drown out your constant whining & griping Too bad that doesn’t work. I DID notice when you got a hair cut last week, but the 1st thing that came to mind was ‘You look just like a girl!’ Since my mother raised me not to say anything if you can’t say something nice, I didn’t comment. And when you cooked my favorite meal, you must have gotten me confused with MY SISTER, because I stopped eating pork 7 years ago. About those new silk boxers: I turned away from you because the $49.99 price tag was still on them, & I prayed it was a coincidence that my sister had just borrowed $50 from me that morning. After all of this, I still loved you & felt we could work it out. So when I hit the lotto for 10 million dollars, I quit my job & bought us 2 tickets to Jamaica But when I got home you were gone.. Everything happens for a reason, I guess. I hope you have the fulfilling life you always wanted. My lawyer said that the letter you wrote ensures you won’t get a dime from me. So take care. Signed, Your Ex-Wife, Rich As Hell & Free! P.S. I don’t know if I ever told you this, but my sister Carla was born Carl. I hope that’s not a problem....

    Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape. He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as: - Knowing when to come in out of the rain; - Why the early bird gets the worm; ... - Life isn't always fair; - And maybe it was my fault. Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies, don't spend more than you can earn and adults, not children, are in charge. His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well-intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place. Reports of a 6-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate; teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch; and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student, only worsened his condition. Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job that they themselves had failed to do in disciplining their unruly children. It declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer sun lotion or an aspirin to a student; but could not inform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion. Common Sense lost the will to live as the churches became businesses; and criminals received better treatment than their victims. Common Sense took a beating when you couldn't defend yourself from a burglar in your own home and the burglar could sue you for assault. Common Sense finally gave up the will to live, after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot. She spilled a little in her lap, and was promptly awarded a huge settlement. Common Sense was preceded in death, by his parents, Truth and Trust, by his wife Discretion, his daughter Responsibility, and his son, Reason. He is survived by his 4 stepbrothers; I Know My Rights, I Want It Now, Someone Else Is To Blame and I'm A Victim Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone.

    just my two cents on the topic, I do not smoke and will never ever smoke. my grandmother of my mom's side died not of old age but of smoking for a very long time and it is due to some lung condition. my mother's brother who is my uncle died of also smoking having asthma. smoking is bad of any form . what makes me angry on this topic is that smoking of any form is clearly bad and no excuses so stop right now. smoking can only be good if it is used for medicinal purposes only.

    I smoke and lost my dad to lung cancer, and others in my family to it. I choose to smoke, I also choose e-gigs, so I don't get the 4000 extra chemicals. So if someone wishes to smoke, then I believe e-cigs is so much heathier. I can understand your feelings, but most folks are adults and choose to smoke.

    Our team is thrilled to inform you that a new update for the “Rise of Flight” project is ready to download and play. Version 1.021 brings you new features and important changes designed to improve the quality of your gameplay all the while adding several interesting aspects to it.

    The most anticipated addition included with this update is a milestone French fighter which saw most of its action during the middle years of the Great War – the iconic SPAD VII.C1. We are providing this plane in two renditions – a 150hp engine variant equipped with a drum-type MG feeding system and a 180hp engine variant equipped with a box-type MG feeding system. Also of note is that this plane is now fully implemented in Career mode and fulfills its pivotal role in history at the hands of pilots flying for 10 different squadrons.

    Career mode itself was supplemented by a number of interesting features, such as the ability to meet and kill enemy aces which will directly affect the aces score table in the newspaper, 10 new squadrons, new helpers on the Career creation screen, flight path and kill visualization on the mission debriefing map and reworked rank emblems and decorations amongst numerous other small improvements.

    Moreover, we have implemented a set of changes requested directly by you, our loyal community. Examples are the ability to switch measurement systems for simple gauges and bombsights between imperial and metric (or variable according to plane), as well as the widely sought-after ability to lock fuel loadouts and skins on a game server. The full list of features and changes can be found below.

    In addition to this, we are also implementing new skins packs, providing you up to 657 new paint schemes to choose from.

    The 777 Studios team sincerely hopes that this new edition of our project will bring new depth and satisfaction to your hobby and our shared passion.

    there were few budget titles I own set in Vietnam, "Line of Sight:Vietnam", and "Elite Warriors:Vietnam" -the latter more squad oriented, kinda reminded me of ancient Lost Patrol (Amiga 500 times!) or Sabre Team.

     

    Both used modified "Deadly Dozen 2" engine, to my own suprise I DID have had fun times playing these :blink:

    Elite Warriors Vietnam was never finished. I was a beta tester for it and we were still testing a gold build when it was released. then came a mad dash to fix it then the team was thanked and the game was left on it's own.

    as a life long Colts fan, I can say I am heart broken. I remember sitting in memorial stadium and watching the Colts play and thinking my gosh he's BIG. RIP Bubba. Oh and Dave, he was a BIG part of the 1-1 super bowl Colts. :salute:

    Hi

     

    Does anyone own Rise of Flight? I heard that there are 2 versions. The Iron Cross version is the latest and does it come with the original version?

     

    Also, is the hardware requirement very tough? I have a Q6600 and an old 4870 1GB video card. Can this box run the game smoothly at max settings preferably with 60 fps.

     

    thanks

    The demo is now unlimited for time, so you can try it. I seriously doubt you'll come anywhere near 60FPS, unless you have a super modern, all the bells and whistles, no money spared gaming rig. The"versions"are just updates. since 777 studioes bought the game, it has had 20 updates and counting. I will you, if you are interested in WW1 flight sims, then this one is the very best around, hands down.

    it was a great ending to the World Cup, but I hate to say it, the U.S. gifted them the match. The first equalizer was a total defensive blunder(which I thought only my beloved West Ham United were able to pull off). The shoot out was a total lack of confidence on the U.S. part. To the team from Japan they worked to make chances, and took advantage of theirs, the U.S. didn't full credit to the winners on the day.:good::drinks:

    Well I downloaded the new demo 10 times before I got a download that wasn't corrupt. Downloaded 4 times from a torrent, the remainder from the ROF forums link.

     

    Have been trying it exclusively for the past week. The control mapping process is long and senseless. Why not just have a config.ini. like in 1946?? Much easier and faster.

     

    Likes---- The trees, water, aircraft detail. Force Feed Back works like it's supposed to. Game runs smooth as silk at max settings.

     

    Dislikes---- The scenery is very sterile looking just plain Jane. The clouds look just like IL2 jobs which are horrible. Multi-player. ROF forums policed by the NKVD, any complaints about the game get your posts locked, deleted, or your a$ sent on a vacation.

     

    Unsure ----- The flight models of the SPAD13 and the D5a leave something to be desired.

     

    Overall it's OK but I am not in a big hurry to buy this one.

     

    Just my 2 cents.

    The scenery is still a work in progress, hang in there on that one. The key mapping and the ability to set your stick responses are nice, yeah it takes a bit longer, but in the end well worth the time. The MP for me has been some of the most fun I've had since RB3D. I mean it is smooth and solid, But then I only fly in the 95th servers. The flight models are also being worked on. they are trying as hard as they can to get them as close to real as possible. Hang in there on this one also. They are working on them.

    What's sad is, in a way since West Ham were relegated I won't have to deal with their dribble and can enjoy some decent announcers for a year, wish they could promote announcers. The only good thing from being relegated is some nice quiet time.:drinks:
