Occb2 0 Posted December 26, 2017 I MISS RWI!!!!!! Merry Christmas too all my friends and family here. I went from spending hours each day on RWI too RWG.BZ RWG.CC Repgeek and TRF. I still cant find the same feeling that my home gives me. You ever go on a vacation and cant wait to sit in YOUR house and in YOUR bed? Well that is the exact feeling I keep getting. Is there anyway to get the back up RWI that we had last year up? Miss everyone. Share this post Link to post

Plus it could emply, someways, that he/she doesn't. I've had some arguments with @Thrasher on RWI, but I'm 100% certain he's a nice guy and he's aware that wealthiness is not "given to all". I'm not poor but I'm not wealthy so I HAVE to choose between a trip to Vietnam with my wife and a 3/4K chrono but I don't feel no envy at all. So enjoy you watches @Thrasher and keep on showing it here and on RWI. BTW ... I have chosen the trip to Vietnam of course ... my wife doesn't give me the exact hour but what she gives me is incomparably more important and valuable. Share this post Link to post

You have chosen wisely As big a watch fan as I am myself, I would prefer a good trip with the wife and son to a new watch any day. You only have so much quality time with your loved ones, the rest is work, obligations and dealing with strangers. Share this post Link to post

Somebody's a little the worse for wear after the Christmas fun . . . . I didn't ask him if he knew how happy he was - that would a stupid question. I asked him if he knew how lucky he is (not an entirely serious question - was not expecting a 15,000 word essay as a reply) I didn't mention his wealth either - you may not be aware of this, but as the inventor of the 'Post It' (yellow version only, the pastel blue version was invented by some guy in Finland) Thrasher is an extremely wealthy guy.
