Heya Dene/Titia!

Still think of Vanguard often as the game that it could have been/almost was.

Hope you and yours are as well as times allow.

Heya, good to see you.

I remember Deneteth, and Titia too.

Heya all !

I still have a look at the board from time to time. I'm glad to hear everyone is mostly ok in these difficult times (sorry you lost your job Scrib).

I used to play Deneteth on the original FV. I see my name on the forum is from the Vanguard era though

Oh yes, I understand. We haven't been affected all that much directly, although it's obviously hard to say what it would have been like without restrictions. Life has continued much as normal throughout, perhaps at a slower pace.

A few changes here and there, like one kid going in for school but one staying at home etc. Nothing dramatic. Realtor business started slowly, perhaps due to lockdowns, but was expected anyway with starting over.

Real Estate broker is a great gig right now, glad it is helping bridge the times for you guys!

I have kept up a little on SA, actually know a couple of guys who live there. And yeah, has been awful. So I totally get being glad not to still be there for Covid times! I was more thinking of how you all were weathering things here given a lot of your USA life so far has been Covid affected.

Much better I think anywhere here than in almost anywhere in SA for vaccination and stability though. Covid landed there on top of an already tough set of situations.

Covid is not something that bothers me much. I think instead of what things would have been like if I hadn't left South Africa when I did. Have you seen the news from there? Their lockdowns make the minor restrictions here, at least in TN, look like a vacation spot. 'Loadshedding' has returned. People rioting, looting and burning. I got out just in time; a few months later and it wouldn't have been possible. I fear for my family living there still though.

On the downside....

... I lost my job in April/May (company lost its contract) so I'm sorta stuck. Missus picking up well with her realtor stuff though, so we're good for a while.
