Mom died on Saturday, the 26th of January 2013. Been very depressed ever since but I hope to win even though I don't post much in this thread :)


Sorry for your loss, Microchip.


ME TOO!!! Mine has been sick for quite a while now and we are just waiting for the day, I can't imagine the effect once it finally comes!!


Sorry to hear that. I hope she goes on a very long time :)


I am torn on that right now, I love my mom OF COURSE, but she has Dementia and has NO CLUE who I am anymore and she is getting worse everyday. My dad is still alive too and he is taking care of my mom at their home. He did finally get a lady to come in during the week to help, but sometimes my mom doesn't know who my dad is either! Sometimes I wish it had been quick and of course other times I am glad she is still here. She won't walk anymore so sits in a wheel chair with her knees permanently bent at 90 degrees, she has been in it for over two years now, and either snoozes or looks around like she has no clue where she is or who anyone around her is. It can be depressing as the lady in that chair is NOT my mom, as I want to remember her! BUT it IS how she is now!!!

In a way I envy you as you can now move on to the grieving process, remembering your mom how she was with all the good times, etc. In other ways I am glad mine is still here, and I am sure I will miss her when she is gone! I am VERY sorry for YOUR loss Microchip and hope that you and your family have fond memories of your mom!!


Yeah, I also know a person who's mom has dementia. It's a tough thing to watch her go away not knowing who you are...

Funeral of mom was today, very emotional for me

Still winning, though

All my WUs are throwing computation errors =] I've just suspended the project until a new update comes out, hopefully that will fix things!


If I may ask, do all WUs error out or just the N-Body ones? If the N-Body, why completely suspend MW? Do as I do by deselecting N-Body in the preferences on the site and crunch only Separation WUs. That's what I do until N-Body is fixed.

just had to abort a WU whose estimated time was 70 hours to complete... it crunched for 10 hours before I noticed it.

no issues here, all crunches fine and validates. One question, though. How come the granted credit is so low for nbody? I have one nbody WU at 550 seconds crunch time and it only granted a few points.

in case of errors (hopefully there are none), should we be posting them here or should we start another thread?

Today is the day I am getting better ...


Today is the day I am winning ...

Tomorrow is the day my eye brows drop off ...

The day after is the day my minging ginger head bush appears ...


John I have a curious mind...does ALL your body hair fall out or just the hair on your head? Does your beard stop growing too? Some people could save ALOT of money on razors if they could bottle that stuff if so!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!!!


I have a mother with cancer who underwent chemo therapy with Taxol this year. Her head hair fell off, eyebrows too and eyelashes as well. I guess it depends on the chemo they give. In 2011 she also got chemo but nothing fell off

John does the barber give you a discount because he has less work to do?


Yes!

The discount includes a beeswax and polish ...

Winning despite the chemo eventually getting my magnificent locks. All disappeared in 5 days, but I am assured they will grow back inside 6 months.

I understand the hair regrowth will be stronger than before, but slightly curly, coarse and ginger ...


John, I hope you get better!

I'd say I'm winning, but I doubt it...
