Since the secret is out (not much of a secret, anyhow - LOL!), I may as well post it here.  Today's my birthday. I was hoping to get by under the radar, but no such luck. Well, I wrote this as regards my thoughts on the matter:
I looked down into the stream flowing on by, and it looked no different than 'twould on any other day, by and by. But different it was, as 'tis every day, and so I continued onwards, with barely a sigh.
 
A good excuse for a party, anyway - though any excuse is good for a party!

Good day, all!
Today is a special day - a very special day - for it was 80 years ago that Allied troops landed on the beaches of Normandy and spilled their blood and gave their lives so that Europe could be freed and a great evil cleansed from the earth. And it is to each of us who now live, to remember the sacrifices made that day, and the reason for those sacrifices - to remember them and know them, and keep them in our living memory, so that they need never be made again. To this end, we need maintain our vigilance against all who would raise up that great evil once again, who preach words of isolationism and withdrawal despite the wisdom spoken by our founding fathers - "together we stand, divided we fall." For, if we, the free nations of the world do not stand together as one, then know this, we shall all fall one by one.
So, on this day let us once again recall the great deeds done by so many, and remember, remember so that those deeds need not be done again.

My apologies for being missing in action for a while - events over on Steam took their toll and resulted in a health situation for me.  I will gradually be catching up on my Starfield Helpful Links and References topic - but it may take a little while, as I am trying to avoid as much stress as possible. Thank you all for your patience and understanding!

Steam is getting more and more over the top in applying bans for no legitimate reasons - makes me really think of abandoning all my participation in Steam - and moving some of my important pinned topics here and over to Nexus.

I just have to say how nice it is to participate in this community, because right now, Steam's Starfield forum is driving me totally crazy - it seems, at times, that people are more concerned about having the last word, than they are in helping the community as a whole.  And that I find to be extremely frustrating, as well as disheartening.
