Troy never did anything wrong to me, personally. He was always nice to me. But, I witnessed some of his behaviors towards others and have heard things from people I know have no reason to make things up. We all have our demons. I did some really shitty things in the past that I still feel guilty and shameful for, but it's a reminder to never go back to being that person again. To continue working on being a better person. I'm thankful for this site, because my life would have gone in a different direction had I not stumbled upon DGN. TBH I probably wouldn't be alive right now. Meeting my husband here completely changed my life in so many positive ways. The friends I've made because of this place has changed my life for the positive. I am incredibly shy and awkward, and my social anxiety was absolutely horrible when I was younger. DGN made it a little easier for me to meet others. I am grateful.

Can't even make Izzy's lunch

Lmfao that damn great. I wish I could a been a fly on the wall for those interactions lol

I am thinking this is a dump ass joint to be stuck here living and/or dying out of for the following 16 weeks or so. Especially having to bunk up two mofo's to a room. Good thing I gots this fresh box Chevy turbo diesel with a banging set of speakers in it up and give to me of sorts. Final thoughts on this... I think my ass just gonna reside in the red roof inn parking lot for the next 16 weeks or so... 'cept while chasing paper, which I got to get moving on in a half hour, no rest for the wicked, the wiccans, or the whackadoodles I weckon, ebba duh ebba duh that's all folks. "Nonsense Rambling Rant 2023 №2" done with. Think I nailed it too... or I should've slept some earlier instead IDK

~~~~~ Yeah...I just can't stop looking at this picture. It's like something just draws you in.

What’s so wild about this to me is the fact that, even though the huge, main group that was here, when I came in are gone, this board is still moving along. I have peaked in, on and off, over the years. And Tron is doing a fucking phenomenal job. I’d love to help rebuild it, somehow. I just know that it’s because of this place, and these people that I uprooted my entire life to move from Baltimore, Maryland to Detroit, Michigan. I have zero regrets. And even if something happened to my marriage, this is my home now. I could move back east, but why? I’m absolutely thriving here. And it’s all either directly or indirectly because of something Troy did. I just feel so damn fortunate and it’s just so nice to be here.

I last saw Troy in person Halloween 2019. I was dressed in costume for work, but had nowhere to go after. I was quite the homebody by that point, so going out didn't happen much. But I wanted to do SOMETHING. So I finally went to a Gathering. Troy didn't recognize me initially because I had a wig on and it had been at least a decade since we'd seen each other in person. When he did, we hugged warmly, and took a great photo together. I'd forgotten how tall he was. I bought him dinner (a chicken finger platter was his choice). It was the first time I met Bobbi in person, and I'm grateful for that. He and I spoke through DM's here and there over the years. He'd ask me for advice on things like DGN and his efforts to build a YouTube channel. He rarely took it, lol. But I appreciated that he at least reached out to me for my take on things. I never had particularly bad interactions with him as many have shared. He lashed out at me a couple times but it was over misunderstandings on his part, and he apologized. So I'll count myself lucky. Like others, I credit Troy with creating DGN and therefore broadening my circle of friends/acquaintances. And also giving me a way to connect with others when I moved out of state and then up north, and was very lonely due to location and a really bad marriage. DGN dumped it's share of drama in my lap, so I quit when it became more negative than positive. But I'm still in contact both virtual and in-person with people who I wouldn't have in my life were it not for Troy. So thanks, Troy Spiral.
