About this image

Appreciate your friends! Those you have known for ages. And those you have known for a few days yet who step in and helps you out when you need it most.

During our recent holiday to the American south west I fell seriously ill. By a stroke of luck we were visiting a Nexus friend and his wife. Being able to stay at their house – mainly sitting on their terrace- while the antibiotics fought the infection, was invaluable to me instead of being confined to a hotel room. While at the same time my wife had good company instead of being driven nuts in that same hotel room watching over me.

It’s been a week since we came home. I’m still pretty tired. Probably a side effect of the penicillin. Still – if our new friends hadn’t opened their house and hearts to us I am sure it would have been much worse. Many words have already been said. But yet another “thank you” will never be out of place. You know who you are.

Appreciate your friends!

    I had wondered where you had been for so long, Bernt. I'm sorry you got sick, but welcome back.

      Thank you very much for your kind words Karna Every year we usually spend all of my holiday in one go. And roadtrip in the American south west has become a favorite of ours

    Love Carole King (and James Taylor) Thank you for the kind words. It's good to have friends and to know you are always welcome.

    Great shot but the girls don't have red and brunette hair.

      Thank you very much Laird. We just might take you up on that one day I am sure that your support meant a lot to my recovery As for the girls - must be my graphic settings. Makes you look a bit square and stocky too somehow

      Thanks a lot Lee I'm feelijg better day by day and I'm back at work - though I could use another 5 weeks in the desert instead of the weather we have to endure at home
      You don't choose your family. But you do get to choose your friends. That friends can be found even halfway around the globe on the basis of a common interest in a computer game......... That is - to me - a pretty miraclous thing. But - then again- reality often surpasses imagination

    Missed seeing ya, Bernt! *cat gives Bernt a big hug* Although, I was being kept in the loop by those same Nexus friends. And I'm happy you are finally feeling better, that bug you had was a nasty one to get.

      Thanks a lot for those kind words Zany I'm feeling better and better each day. But it will take some time to digest what - after all- also proved to be a very interesting road trip in which we experienced some quaint and interesting places. I'm not in any hurry to do any playing as of now. I'm good keeping an eye on the antics of the rest of the Fallout Nexus. But of course - sooner or later........

    It's good to see that NEXUS friends are more that just people you communicate with to discus the games we all love, I'm so pleased to hear that you are well again, so to quote a great character,
    "live long and prosper"

    Great image by the way

      Thank you very much Des Yes - it reminds you that there are real, live people out there behind the screens. People of flesh and blood like yourself and not just AI driven NPCs

    Now that is just great, and what a stroke of luck indeed. I think it is a beautifull thing that these kind of things can come forth out of a Nexus contact. Sad to hear though this happened to you during your holidays,.. Hope you feel above the water soon,.

      Thanks a lot Janswin Yes - it is indeed a very nice thing that more than game talk - as entertaning as it is- can come from a common interest. I'm back to work after all. So it's not that bad

      Thank you Vulpes Well - I'm back to work pending our holiday and feeling fine about it. Still - when there's no alarm clock I sleep for 10-12 hours instead of my usual 8. And I have no jet-lag this time around
