Glad that you got checked out, Bob. Patrick

Happy Mother's Day to all of the Moms in our community. Looking forward to celebrating our first as a family here!

It's that time again.

Thank you for your understanding, DarthPenguin. He's not too bad on sleep. Not the best, but not the worst, either!

Thank you, Bob, Ashley, John, Brian, aurik, BoothJ9, Danielle, crash, and DarthPenguin! Much appreciated. I actually with you Bob that I look good in that picture! I think it is total relief because that was right after the baby was born. Only had about 2 hours sleep in the 36 hours before that, but I think I was just glad to be out on the other side. Patrick

Hello and welcome, Ravman! Patrick

Welcome aboard, FeralFrettchen. Glad to have you. Patrick

Hey all, Just wanted to share with the community that I'm a Dad now. On April 20 at 9:33pm, Patrick James was born. Kara and Patrick are both doing great. Here's a relived me right after delivery: http://www.karateforums.com/img/photos/patrick-and-patrick.jpg And a close-up: http://www.karateforums.com/img/photos/patrick-james.jpg As always, thankful to our team here for keeping things running smoothly. Thanks, Patrick

I have to apologize for the typos in this post! First, the incorrect member name in the subject, then saying that DarthPenguin had been honored two other times. Sorry about that! It might have happened anyway, but we were headed to the hospital the next day for the birth of our first child, so that may have played a role, too! And once more, sorry for the delay in updating the errors. Congrats again, DarthPenguin!

Ha.

Hey Bradlee. Welcome to the forum, and congrats on making your way back to karate!

Sorry for your loss, Sean.

Congrats Ashley. Patrick

That's annoying. Hope tomorrow goes smoothly for you. Patrick

Hey tubby, happy you decided to check-in. It's good to hear from you. Congrats on this huge milestone! Sorry to hear about your friends, though. You're right - it really is a nasty disease. Patrick

Happy April Fool's Day! https://www.karateforums.com/april-fool-s-day-karateforums-com-vt55284.html Patrick

Hey all, Unfortunately, we won't be launching KarateForums.com+, a new streaming service. But honestly, it doesn't sound like a bad idea, right? I thought our programming slate looked pretty interesting! Thanks to the staff for feedback on the idea and especially to Noah (Wastelander) for show suggestions and letting me integrate him into one of my show ideas. Hope you had a fun day! Thanks, Patrick

Congrats Questor!

Note: This was our 2022 April Fool's Day joke. Hey all, Big news!
