Letting you all in on this as you are the best group of people I can think of to tell my troubles to.
Last night in an accident, my ex and kids' father died at Catalina Island. Looks like he might have had a heart attack while swimming. I am ok, but kids are understandably going to have a rough time. He had not had contact with them in several years. His side of the Family has also not been in touch, and now we have to try to work through this together. Stressful for all, to say the least.
Try to work things out with your Families while you can, you never know what will happen tomorrow.

Forum rules
At the old Disney Hyperion Studio, the screening room where animators would show animated scenes to Walt for his approval was small, with no ventilation or AC. Not only was it hot, but the animators were nervously awaiting Walt's reaction to their work. Thus, the room became known as the Sweatbox. Even after the Studio moved to Burbank and elegant screening rooms were offered to the staff, the moniker remained.
Now SGT has a sweatbox of our own. This is the place to find and post all entertaining topics such as video links, jokes, games, and the like. A general rule of thumb is that if the thread is meant to be informative (interesting news stories for example), or a topic for discussion (like setting up a park meet) then it should go in the Break Room, but if the intent is to entertain the masses then it's home is The Sweatbox. I'm sure there will be grey areas at times, so if you have doubt as to where a new thread should go, just use your best judgement and the SGT Staff will be glad to move it later if you guessed wrong.

I will be your guide for this magical journey into the movies. It's the perfect job for me, because I love movies! Is everybody ready? Great, because it's showtime. Ready when you are, CB!

Re: Sad Family News
Make sure and talk it through with your kids. Even though there hadn't been much contact in the last few years they may still have some emotional bond.
As for you, a couple of hours of Metallica at 11/10 should do the job. ;)

Don't be fooled by appearances. In Hawaii, some of the most powerful people look like bums and stuntmen.
