Been a while since we did this…. Who’s still with us? Hope you are all well. Our community is special. Ive loved kicking through the offseason so far with you guys. The nature updates and the joy of KU baseball success have been fun, besides speculation on the bball roster.
To the old timers, won’t you log in and say hi if you’re lurking? Tell us how you’re doing. I’m sure people on here besides myself would like to hear from you. Thanks.

I'm still here. Still sane is debatable
Been a bit going on lately. Need to replace the insulation in the attic, it's been long overdue. Got new carpet earlier this year as well. Last time that was done... 2008 so hopefully it's a good luck charm for KU.
For better or worse, got back into Magic the Gathering. First time buying sealed product in around ten years and not to be a boomer but the qc has gone to shit. Fun to play again though.

@BShark may your new carpet offgasing be brief and your mtg mechanics be synergistic in unforeseen delightful ways. Fairly recently we got a few boxes of mtg avatar set. Artwork was true to the show and pretty.

@approxinfinity Edge and Outlaws brought me back in. Fantastic flavor. Easy to burn out with how much product they pump out these days.

Ok did not know there was an MTG following in this group! My buddy got me into it right after the lord of the rings set and I’m hooked. Play mostly commander at this point but love going to more releases. I might skip marvel though.
Privilege isn't nonsense.

Anyone use spell table?

But to the original purpose of the thread, I’m still here. Feel like I’m just holding on for the ride since 2020. Lost a few people, partner has stage 4 breast cancer, her mom has stage 1. My partners non profit also went under so she’s without a job. My team of five at work has been cut to just me for next year. But still kicking. Really wish the Jayhawks would get good again. But we have a 2.5 year old who makes it all worth it. Rock chalk jayhawk were within his first 20 words. lol

I'm on again off again since 1995. Best part is that there are so many ways to play.

My condolences, cancer really sucks. If I remember right, you are a teacher? Seems like more people are leaving that line of work than joining these days.

@BShark moved to the district level a few years back. The funding for education in Texas is a mess. Add that in with a government purposely trying to dismantle public education and yeah, a lot of folks are leaving or being cut out. I’ve been lucky to work with great people who really care but sucks that they get cut while others without the skills and passion end up making more and failing upwards. Dont think thats just an education problem though.

Any good pulls? I liked the avatar set too.

@benshawks08 I'm praying for your family to be cancer free.
