2020!

Wow, who'd have guessed I'd live so long? I'm sure glad I have, though, and it looks like I might be here for a while yet. I plan to have a fantastic year, and hope the same for all of you here at DTF. I know it's odd, and usually not safe to say in public--in real life--but I consider many of you regulars as true friends. There, I said it and I'm not the least bit ashamed. Deal with it.

No shame in that whatsoever, Gregg.  Virtually all of my closest friends are right here.  I really only have 1 "irl" friend that I still keep in touch with regularly.  This is a special place.  I'm hoping for a better year / decade.  Glad to have 2019 done with - a few great individual life moments, but on the whole, I'm hoping for better from (the) 2020(s).

I rang in the new year at work. Got to bed at like 3 AM. Off today. Got a call an hour ago asking to come cover a shift.

Nah. Going back to sleep.
I just don't understand what they were trying to achieve with any part of the song, either individually or as a whole. You know what? It's the Platypus of Dream Theater songs. That bill doesn't go with that tail, or that strange little furry body, or those webbed feet, and oh god why does it have venomous spurs!? And then you find out it lays eggs too. The difference is that the Platypus is somehow functional despite being a crazy mishmash or leftover animal pieces

This is me all over.   I just wish I'll take the plunge and plan a trip one day to come and meet and hang out with everyone.

All the best for a better decade for you Chad.  I'm sure it will be, no doubt.
Everyone else, except Wolfking is wrong.

It really is incredible when I step back and think of the friends I've made, the bands I've discovered, and the concert/life experiences I've had all because I wandered onto the dt.net forums back in 2003 or 2004.

Hurt myself falling through steps on my dad's porch today.  I forgot a piece was broken off and my left leg went right through and I fell forward scraped my right knee, swollen and bloodied my right hand and pulled my hammy on the leg that got caught through the steps.

You going to sue the old man for that?  :biggrin:  Sucks, but at least you didn't break anything besides the already broken porch.  Hope you have a speedy recovery King  :yarr

The way I twisted with my one leg in the stairs while falling to the ground twisted my knee a little and pulled the hamstring.  Plus my shoulder is sore from the hard fall.  I'm a dummy man.

It's honestly not an interesting read.  But just kind of funny how the discussion popped up somewhere else and I had nothing to do with it.

So last night I get an automate text message that someone transferred $900 to my bank account through Zelle. Because it looked weird and I figure it was a scam, I deleted the text and continue with my dinner.

Few moments late I’m getting a random call which I ignored. But because the timing aligned with the text now I’m feeling a little skeptical. I go to check my email just in case and I have an email from Zelle confirming the transfer, but it looked different that emails I get when I use Zelle. At this point I decide to check my bank account and sure enough, I have an extra $900 on my account.

I’m skeptical about it and didn’t know what to do since I didn’t want to keep money that isn’t mine and I don’t know where it came from. I called Zelle and after a few minutes they tell me I have to call my bank. I called my bank and after bouncing me around different departments, they pretty much told me there’s nothing they can do because they can’t reverse a transfer from Zelle, but that if I decide to transfer the money back on my own, they are not responsible if it is a Scam and I lose all my money. My bank suggested for me to just leave it alone and wait for the other person to make a dispute.

This morning the money is still there. I’m reading on it and Zelle is pretty clear that before a transfer, to verify you are sending the money to the right person because you can’t cancel a transfer. Also, it looks like it has happened to other people as I’m reading online and their bank has told them the same thing. So, I’ll just leave it alone and wait a month or two. If the money is still there by the end of February, Happy Birthday to me. I don’t want to risk sending the money back and getting my account hacked. I feel like I did the right thing by contacting the bank and they suggested to do nothing.
