    Just got back from my mother's oncologist. They're really happy with the results of her latest CT Scan. All of the cancer has reduced a little. So a really good report. 

  • Proud of this girl.  Eleventy billion push ups, sit ups, squats, mountain climbers, jumping jacks, planks, combinations, self defenses and weapon katas later in the cold and wind she earned her black

  • I was diagnosed with Thyroid cancer in November. They removed my thyroid gland right before Thanksgiving. Post surgical blood test showed a thyroid globulin number of a 6, which is above the threshold

I don’t know.  I think you should see a doctor.

one of my good friends from high school lost his 23 y/o son this weekend in an automobile accident. we kind of lost touch but i spent a good chunk of my childhood hanging out at his house & knew the entire family. f'n devastating news. i can't even imagine how that would feel. hug your kids & tell them that you love them....every day.

Really sorry to hear it bro.  This has become one of my greatest fears.  With my boys, I was a little nervous but really not too bad.  Now that my oldest daughter is 16 and has her learners permit though, I'm a basket case.  I taught her the basics in parking lots and she just doesn't seem as comfortable with it as the boys were.  Now that she's occasionally driving on the roads I just can't do it, my wife has taken over.  I don't know what it is, everything has always come easy to her, an I've always been confident in her abilities, but I can't ride with her on the roads.  I tried one time and it took everything I had to maintain my composure so that I didn't destroy her confidence.  She really doesn't have much interest in driving and I'm fine with it, my wife usually winds up pushing her.  I'm not proud of it, I struggle to try to get over it, but I just can't.

oh, it sucks. hunt jr got his license this past spring. the very first time he drove himself to school, he got into an accident on his way home...t-boned & the car was totaled. thankfully he wasn't hurt...neither was the other driver. hell, both of my stepdaughters had accidents within months of getting their licenses. i guess there's a reason why auto insurance is so expensive for new drivers.  best we can do as parents is teach them to be cautious...and make sure they're driving a safe vehicle in case an accident does happen.  

And don't Fing drink and drive. Mine is 14 and have already starting to have those talks.

I can't imagine what your buddy and his wife are going through.  Don't want to imagine.  Really sad.

When I was 14 (maybe 13 or heaven forbid 12) I was the one driving for the drunks… I didn’t realize I was doing anything that wrong because an adult asked me to drive them back to their place to grab something… but my parents were not pleased when we got back and they realized I was the person that drove us there and back :lol: 

Remember when those housemaids forced Eliza Doolittle to take a bath?

That made me harder than Chinese calculus in an ice storm!

Hi

bugger off, crapaud.

Oldest calls me this morning and tells me that he's thinking about trading his car in on a new one.  Dealership got one in, someone backed out on it, they were driving it to his place for him to test drive it.  Talk to him a couple of hours later and he says he liked it, told them he wanted it, and was just waiting for them to get the numbers to him.  Check with him a little later and he tells me that he's not buying the car, just had a 3rd interview with a company, they offered him a job and he's moving to Kennesaw, GA in 2 weeks. :huh:  Had no idea he was even talking to other companies.  Wife's in shock.  My head is spinning too fast to be in shock.

Feel for you.  Mine not nearly that much of a distance.  Took early retirement, sold our house in Lehigh county to move to Harrisburg area to be closer to grandson and divorced son.  He found future wife in Philly.  Ex stilled lived within 20 min of our home.  Year later grandson’s mom moved to Chambersburg.  Now the rest of my family is 2hr drive away, both of grandson’s parents 1hr+ away.  So we’re talking 3-4 hr RT trip to visit.  I loved our old home and all it offered.  Do I miss it hell ya,  but the time we had here with my   grandson was worth it.

He realized it might not be wise to take on the added expense when he’s moving.

You wanna hear some crazy ish?  You know you do.  Promise me you won't tell this to anyone else.  My older brother is an investigator for the US Attorney in Miami and one of the cases he was working on involved corruption in the prisons down there.  Anyway, late last week he was going to pick up some food for dinner, and the next thing he knew he was waking up and being helped out of the middle of the street, no recollection of what happened.  Paramedics gave him a breathalyzer and he had some alcohol in his system, but not nearly enough to cause him to pass out.  His boss immediately suspected foul play and assigned a few guys to look into it.  Fast forward to today.  They made one arrest so far and know that at least 2 other guys were involved.  Looks like it's connected to the prison case he was investigating.  Apparently, these guys somehow either sprayed, or put a small patch containing a highly concentrated amount of meth on his neck that knocked him out quickly.  His dope was walking through an alley to get to the restaurant to pick up his food and that's where they did it.  He was able to stumble out into the street out front where a lady who worked there saw him fall and ran out to stop a car before it ran over him then helped him out of the street.  She then found his phone and called the last number on there which happened to be my parents.  Remains to be seen if they were trying to kill him, or trying to get him to fail a drug test which would cost him his job and taint the investigations he's been working on.  Scary stuff.
