Something to think about...4/2022

Post by justsellbrgs » Tue Apr 12, 2022 10:28 am

I skimmed Mike's prom pics of his son and it made me realize..... I've signed in to DWC almost every day, read posts, exchanged messages, met some DWCers -- since my 4th and youngest child was 2 years old. My daughter just texted me a few minutes ago to tell me she passed her driving test and received her license... 16 years old. :shock:

That might include a year or 2 on WUS, but most of that time has been on DWC. We have added members :lol: , some have left :angryfire: , some banned :banghead: , and sadly we have lost others - may they RIP.

random realizations:
MIKE COOK is a grandfather!...huh? She was just in middle school
Master Wu's kids are in grade school? Wasn't Ollie just born a couple of years ago.
DMBers are protecting the country. Those two were just in little league, right?


To the good times, pissing matches, system resets, buy and sells, wrist shots, GTGs.....

CHEERS! :cheers: :cheers:

Yep, time flies. :cheers:


I remember early Rube Goldberg struggles to take a decent picture of a watch.

Same, my daughter was 6 when I joined this watch /gun /pet /car /stupid shit /bourbon /hot sauce /knife /music movie / tech /support group /forum...
She's now 18 and moved out on her own.
I'd post up some of my earlier pics, but they're all on photobucket....🤣

Can we not have to think about this except when absolutely necessary?

My brother was telling me about this place, saying it’s not like other forums and you can post boobs and stuff. Me and my wife took my son on a walk in his stroller- he was about 9 months old. I sat on a bench with him while she went into a store and I signed up right there. He’s 11 now.

Far out, my kids have both left school, at Uni or working.

In 2011 I was high speed low drag. Now I'm well and truly, low speed high drag. Fkn knees blew out in 2012.

Time does fly when you’re having fun.

I had been dating Mrs. P for about 6 months when I joined up; and almost 10 years later it’s 6 years married.

Crazy! Thanks for the memories!

When I first joined, I had just gotten married and was still a couple years away from having kids.

Oliver goes to middle school next year. :shock:

This is certainly a unique place. it's my favorite forum, I haven't met anyone personally here, yet, feel close to you guys in sharing this hobby of ours. We have a great group of guys here, and none of the BS that seems to plague most other forums.
So, let's celebrate with a GTG in Vegas!! :cheers:

I check in at least once a day, usually more. Great group of guys. DWC is the best.

Same with me.

When I started this rodeo my kids were pretty much babies. Now they are in middle school and high school.

Watches have come and gone, but I truly appreciate the friends I've made here.

In all seriousness, although I haven't been posting as much as before, I still log in daily. Have made some good friends in the past 9 years, plus some epic B-Day threats!
