Thanks John !

Thanks for all your support!
 
You're part of the family Jill you clog up whatever you want.
We're here for you always to help and answer questions.
Sorry about the CBB.
I've never cared to own one, just too fragile for me.

Sorry Joel, I was toast after, "you clog up whatever you want". Agreed though on the cbb's, no thanks.

update on the upgrade! i go pick it up tomorrow. super excited yet super nervous. this will be the first time for me setting up a build all by myself. so will be needing lots of input! thinking of starting a build thread so i dont clog up joels!
as far as the cbb. he all of a sudden decided he didnt want to eat after all and 3 days later he was dead! what a headache. 🤦‍♀️
So frustrating! Sorry, Jill
 
Good morning how are you so far today?
Doing well, actually, thanks! I slept like a baby last night, and I don't mean waking up screaming every two hours.
